AEW Battle of the Belts

Overall Rating: ★★★●★☆☆

I guess these are a semi-regular thing now? Just an excuse for an extra little show on the odd weekend? Well, they're ok. The name makes it seem like it should be bigger and more significant, but it's fine for what it is. And the particular matches this time were decent to good.

  1. TNT Championship (Sammy Guevara vs. Scorpio Sky)
    ★★★●☆☆☆
    This one was fine, I guess, I just don't care. American Top Team still sucks, and Sammy hasn't done anything interesting for ages. And I don't like that they seem to have split up TayJay for the sake of attaching Tay to Sammy's storyline.
  2. ROH Men's Championship (Jonathan Gresham vs. Dalton Castle)
    ★★★●★★☆
    Now this one was fun. Creative; varied; well-paced. It had action, drama and comedy. Nothing mind-blowing, but held my attention the whole way through.
  3. Women's Championship (Thunder Rosa vs. Nyla Rose)
    ★★★●★☆☆
    They both looked really cool, and there was enough back-and-forth to keep it interesting while still maintaining Rosa's underdog status (as the smaller competitor, and despite being the current champion). I didn't really feel like the outcome was in doubt though.
