Kinda figured with All In out of the way they'd get right into Ospreay's NJPW/United Empire storyline that's been going on all year.

[Krandor]

Man TK wasted zero time setting up the headline matches for All Out

The reveal of Mox vs Ospreay was so good

[Anoat]

I guess WWE owns a copyright claim on TLC matches (they did have a PPV named after it I guess) because Cope and the announcers sure went out of their way to call it a chairs, tables, and ladder match lol

[Krandor]

Sounds like Bayley is staying in WWE, hopefully all the teasing from Mercedes got her a bigger paycheck (until WWE inevitably tries to cut it in half in 6 months)

[Krandor]

Not a subscriber to WON but hearing 6.5 for Ospreay vs Omega (tied with Ospreay vs Danielson for 2nd highest ever, Omega vs Okada 2 out of 3 falls remains the king) and 5 for Mone vs Willow

I think this is finally the first time he gave Mercedes a 5, even though he has said retroactively that Bayley vs Mercedes from NXT Brooklyn should have been a 5

[Zealot]

When will we get Omega vs. Moné??

• Ospreay vs Omega: 6.5
• Mercedes vs Willow: 5
• Darby vs Knight: 4.5
• C&C vs YB: 4.25
• Casino Gauntlet: 4.75
• Okada vs Fletcher vs Takeshita: 4.5
• Moxley vs Nigel: 4.5
• Brawling Birds vs Divine Dominion: 3.5
• Trios Roulette Royale: 3.5

Legit crazy that that much goodness was stuffed into a 4 1/4 hour card. Also reportedly set the AEW PPV buy rate record, beating All Out 2021 (Punk's return and Cole/Danielson debuts)

I think Ospreay is corny as shit and even I found myself a little bit in the feels by the end of that match lol.

[Xno Kappa]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate how much of a banger Elevated is lmao

[Krandor]

WWE released a bunch of NXT folks (I have no idea who any of these people are other than Wendy Choo)

Spoiler: show

Jasper Troy
PJ Vasa
Wendy Choo
Adrianna Rizzo
Zena Sterling
Braxton Cole
Anya Rune
Marcus Brown

Not surprised. This was the first AEW ppv I've seen live on TV.

Only other live ones I've seen was in person. Came for Omega/Osprey, stayed for absolute cinema.

My introduction to Elevated was battle in the valley, Osprey vs Okada. Shit is even better live.

Jasper Troy won LFG and was a former Speed Champion (for what those are worth, but not a complete nobody).

Rizzo was part of the D'Angelo Family before it broke. Probably the most well known in the releases after Wendy.

Anya Rune I've seen mentioned a couple times because of her weeb gimmick (?). Don't really know anything aside from that.

The others I don't think I've ever heard of. lol

[Zealot]

Why can't wrestlers be named like The Repairman or Manticore anymore.

Sterling and Vasa were both on the season of LFG that Troy won for the men. Sterling was the runner up for the women that season.

Braxton Cole had been a regular part of the current season of LFG.

Sounds like Butcher of Butcher & Blade fame had a medical emergency at an indie show, paramedics took him away, show cancelled. Doesn’t sound good.

From Reddit:

I was standing on the side of ring Andy finished the match. His legs were buckled and he leaned back onto the floor. He turned ghostly white, then said something to The Blade. Blade threw up an X but it didn’t seem like it really got anyone’s attention. So he helped him up to try to get him to the back. What happened after Andy passed out again I couldn’t see. Absolutely shook right now.

They were using a defibrillator and doing chest compressions as he was taken away. If you're the praying sort, I'd say to send one out for him.

[Tomiko]

Fuck, I hope he makes it through since he seemed like a great guy.
