If you asked me right now, pre-show, I'd say my expectations are highest for the Trios match, and the Texas Death match... will Moxley and Page finally give in to their obvious subtext and make out?

Jungle Boy vs Christian was fun but they could both get their penises out and it wouldn’t be any more homoerotic. Man, that was some fetishy goodness.

The build up for House of Black vs the Elite was so short that I have to wonder if there was a last minute reason why they needed to get the titles off the Elite.

Maybe a returning CM Punk?

It may have had a short build, but damn was trios match a fast-paced wonderland of spots. I'll hold out a hope that Tony Khan needed Kenny to be free because Kota Ibushi and/or Jay White will be stopping by soon for Forbidden Door.

Re: the women's match, the Ruby turn may have temporarily disappointed the fans, but I'll bet that within a few weeks, Ruby will be running that particular heel trio and doing a better job than Saraya or Toni.

People talk about how much Mox loves to bleed but I’ve always thought Hangman gives him a run for his money in that regard.

All of my wince muscles are worn out.

MJF, you are such a drama kid, getting the Court of Owls to play your entrance music...

He was a high school teacher; sometimes he just needs to let the pain out so he can feel something.

Normally iron-man matches are near the bottom of my list of stipulations, but hoo-boy do I feel exhausted after the end of that main event.

I honestly hope that MJF is mostly bullshitting on jumping ship to WWE, because it's pretty crystal clear that Tony Khan intends to make him the greatest heel and dirtiest player since Flair.
