I had more than one problem with the opening match. I thought that there were far too many kick-outs and not enough actual tags, for what was essentially a tag team match. Obviously, I wasn't the only person who felt this way, because Jim Ross made light of this fact on commentary as well.
Moreover, I thought that Private Party should have won to continue their momentum from defeating The Young Bucks. However, the match was solid and because of the same reason, I'm willing to give the opening match a pass, in this case. However, the Dark Order is just not exciting enough.

There's nothing scary or intimidating about the Dark Order, and they aren't exceptional in the ring either, which essentially means that neither their gimmick nor their wrestling is 'over' in the actual sense. Something has got to click with them, for them to thrive long-term in All Elite Wrestling.
