Not a bad card, but aside from seeing where they're going with Will/Omega there's nothing I'm really into here. I feel like Hayter's new look has hurt her overness. I get what she's going for but it isn't helping her.
Joe/Nick Wayne should be fun but I'm ready for Christian's group to break up. It had a great run but it's time to move on.
It feels like PAC almost never wrestles. I know COPE (ugh) is getting the push to face Moxley but I hate seeing him never job.
I don't know if they change the Tag Belts here or drag it out a bit more but PP never really took off as champs so they might as well. I think they should have made the Outrunners the champs instead of PP when they were first getting all the buzz but what do I know.

The AEW Dynasty PPV will take place on April 6th (still not used to seeing Mania out of its usual spot) in Philadelphia.

I'm never calling him Cope. That's the worst name a top guy has had in years, and even moreso when your merch for him is referencing Edge by name. Pac is gonna tear something mid-spear, though.

I feel like with Hayter, they just kind of let her cool off as soon as she got back. She could've fit in immediately with either Mariah or Mercedes and you could've rode either for at least a couple months.

The tag division is the fucking doldrums and I don't see either Private Party or the Syndicate as an answer. Hell I kinda want Lashley/Garcia for the TNT title instead.

I can’t articulate how crucial it is for me to see Disney promote the next season of Percy Jackson with “STARRING COPE AS ARES”

Sucks that Private Party were squashed but if Lashley and Shelton go on a heel rampage destroying evrry teamm and putting actual heat on the titles, it might be ok. This is a wait and see for me.

Mercedes/Cameron is a good fresh match up with the hometown girl in Australia. They need Harley or Toni to win their respective matches though so they don't kill the town.

Harley is so fucking entertaining. The Death Riders stuff continues to be terrible. Ricochet is a really fun heel. Jeff/MJF is not good. I'm happy to see Brody/Julia/Buddy are going to get a push.

As much as I dislike AEW leaning heavily on 50-something WWE cast-offs, I can’t help but enjoy the Hurt Syndicate. Those guys look like a million bucks every time they‘re on TV, and they can still work. No complaints about putting the tag titles on them, and I hope it rejuvenates the division.

Also: The atmosphere for these shows continues to be so much better with the smaller buildings. Glad to see it looks like the plan is to keep running similar-size venues in the spring too.

Opening with Omega/Ospreay brawling with the Callis Family was awesome. Ditch Mox and the Death Riders and let one of the two have the belt. They need to pivot to a main event scene of Ospreay/Omega/Hangman/Swerve/Okada with Fletcher, Jay White, Hobbs, and Takeshita in the mix too. Mox needs a long break again. The crowd is so hyped then die with this Death Riders promo.
