    Orton won't leave. He's a golden boy who'll always collect a great cheque while he's there and he really comes off as a guy who cares more about getting paid than titles and high profile programs.

    Other WWE guys who've made it public they want out.

    @dna hits I used to agree with HHH that Randy didn't work hard enough, until I realized that I wouldn't work hard in the WWE either. Randy's great, he'd fit right in.

    I'd put a stop to the WWE guys if that crop ends up leaving. It's just too much.

    Fantastic show. Neither guy should have lost, so I'm fine with the ending. Good match.

    Epitome Quality (posting) over quantity

    I definitely agree...they are so great at those personal video packages like the QT Marshall (who I've known about for years but somehow didn't know he used to actually wrestle) one and the Cody video from last week that had his mom in it. If they are impressive to hardcore fans like us they absolutely must be doing wonders for new fans and thus they need to double the amount they are currently doing.

    I feel this way about promos in general in AEW though. They obviously have the top tier in ring for days but they really need to have more promos in the shows. Especially when you have guys like Jericho, Cody, Kenny, and f---ing MOXLEY who has yet to do a live in ring promo after a whole month of shows...it's a little frustrating just because the promos they have had on their shows have been f---ing awesome and as fans we have been so starved for great in ring promos for years because of f---ing WWE.

    Even though it wasn't a straight promo segment, I really loved the back and forth/brawl with the Inner Circle vs Cody's crew from tonight..it was precise, effective, and different from anything WWE does. Things like that really stand out
    I definitely understand them wanting to establish the time limit draw for the new TV audience, but I don't think they should have done it in the main event match on the show.

    I thought it was great when they did it with Cody vs Darby at the PPV, because it elevated Darby and it was in the middle of the show. It forced the show tonight to end in really flat way, imo

    I think they either should have swapped spots and had Omega vs. Janela go on last and all would have been good. I really dug the match though...Mox and Pac worked f---ing great with each other.

    I'm sure it being on FS1 instead of Fox played a HUGE role in it, but AEW had more viewers than Smackdown this week

    Even though it's only in 5 million less homes than TNT and they've lost 2.6 million in less than a month.

    Definitely a big asterix, but I can't even believe the number.

    Loved the SCU victory just because I felt it was unpredictable. The way they've built the Lucha Bros so far I thought it was a no brainer that they were going to win

    thought last night's show wasn't quite as strong as some of the others, but still solid overall..I'm pretty hyped for the PPV next week tbh, ready for that.

    That Jericho video was great too lol. I have to work Saturday night, not sure if I'll buy a replay or just download a torrent. But I just had to buy a new engine for my car so I know which way I'm leaning

    I'm really interested in what they're doing with this Brandi/Kong thing. Not sure where it's headed but I'm sure we'll get a clearer direction either at or after Full Gear

    If I was a kid I'd be begging my parents to buy me Full Gear this weekend after that ending, so it did exactly what it was designed to do

    I have gripes with every show in addition to a few directional and production issues, but I've never watched a week to week show this good. WWE never strung this many good to great shows together.
