Bryan Danielson, Christian Cage, Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus vs. The Super Elite
This was really fun as expected. Classic PWG-style multi-man tag match where its absolutely action packed with the action getting more n' more hot as it goes on too. Pretty lovely stuff. The highlights for me include everything Bryan did; in particular his first tag-in where he kicked the shit out of Matt Jackson, that one-man-wrecking-crew moment vs. all of the Elite + of course the great showdown vs. Omega. The big Luchasaurus run was epic as well. ***1/2

Bryan Danielson vs. Minoru Suzuki
A genuine dream match right here, and the crowd sure made it feel like one with the atmosphere they provided from bell-to-bell. I must admit that for 98% of the time the generic strike-trading sequences do absolutely nothing for me, but here MiSu & Dragon sucked me right into 'em -- much of it has to do with the fact that it's THEM doing it, but also because those said sequences were genuinely fantastic with the timing of when to stop em, when to sell big, when to show that fighting spirit~! etc, you know the deal. This was pro-wrestling happy magic. ****

CM Punk vs. Daniel Garcia
This was good fun! My first time watching Daniel Garcia, and I thought he was real solid throughout. It's good ol' Punker who was the star of the thing, though. His initial shine was awesome (that 2x bodyslam moment ruled) & then during his FIP seg, my goodness. A great reminder that he is an absolute master when it comes to selling a worked over bodypart wonderfully & compellingly. ***1/4

CM Punk vs. Matt Sydal
Probably the weakest match of Punk's AEW tenure thus far, but it's still a pretty fun match. There's a bit of certain charm to the thing with it being between two veterans from the same generation n' all. Nothing more, nothing less. Rock-solid. **3/4
