Grade: 7.5/10
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
This was another strong showing between these two, with great in-ring action and drama keeping fans invested. The frog splash announce table spot was especially awesome, and while we’ve seen the two clash before; this still felt fresh and exciting.
However, the finish left a lot to be desired. While it was great to see Jericho tease turning on Owens and then reuniting with the ‘Prizefighter’, a DQ finish is always a lacklustre way to end a PPV, and this was no different.
Sure, the Jericho/Owens story took another step forward, but this did little to satisfy fans to close the show, and this felt more like a finish to an episode of Raw rather than a PPV ending. The post-match announce table powerbombs to Jericho and Owens by Reigns and Rollins was entertaining, but fans were definitely expecting more from the ending.
Overall, a strong match, but a weak finish, as the show went off the air feeling more like an edition of Raw rather than a PPV.
