Ospreay is now 3-0 against... the other members of his faction? OK then. He ate a lot of power moves, but in the end he had a few clever escapes for the throws and slams Hobbs tried to law on him, culminating in a spinning moonsault that went a little awry and wound up putting his knee in Hobbs' face. (?!) Hope there's no grudges.

The Daddy Ass / Jay White match was a delight, from Billy Gunn popping up behind Jay like a movie monster, to ref Aubrey being completely exasperated with Jay trying to flee the ring and ask for time-outs, and Billy being genuinely confused that he can't bring a chair into the ring.

A little disappointed with the obviousness of the finish: since The Acclaimed and the Ass Boys are barred from ringside, of course they're gonna show up at ringside. I think it's time to make it official and unify the trios titles.

One sleep later, some of my Discord wrestle-friends are really upset about the Best Friends apparent breakup, but on the other hand I'm pretty sure this means Rappongi Vice will get back together if Rocky Romero and Trent are free. Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander are already breakout stars.

Don't know what's going to happen to poor Chuckie, though...
