- The finish of the Jon Moxley-Adam Copeland match with Christian Cage cashing in.
- Has AEW been an improved product in recent months?
- The state of Jon Moxley and his AEW Title reign
- Roman Reigns's return to WWE TV last night
- Did WWE cross a line with the celebrity plugs, TKO crossover promotion, and corporate hype?
