Really fun main. Tiki is adorable and Leia is legit. And the Fab 4 have become one of my favorite WOW acts. Always cool to see Jungle Grrrl back. Wonder if we are due another weird tournament for the world title. Chantilly and Foxy make quite the unit and should mesh well with Kandy Krush. Digging the progress of her feud with the Voodoo Crew. And, as always, enjoyed the promo with Siren. This is the kinda stuff that makes WOW WOW. Nice double team moves from Randi and Coach. Surprised they got the win as the BK/Robbie team looks promising. Also pleased to see Vivian get a surprise win over Tormenta. I can't explain it but there's just something appealing about Vivian that makes me root for her.

Favorite matches of the show were Reina vs Vivian and The Heavy Metal Sisters vs The Tonga Twins. The main was entertaining but seemed to end just as things were really picking up. Dug the corny skit with Holly Swag, Big Rig Betty, and the Fab Four (Five?)

Best Jade has looked yet. Really good chemistry between her and Skye Blue, who also impressed. Still not sure where this storyline with Velvet is going but I'm here for it. Only quibble is that it would have been cool to have Kiera in Skye's corner given their recent teaming and her own issues with Jade. The Renegades Vs Britt/Jamie was far more competitive than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. Even in defeat, The Renegades came off still looking like a threat.

Masha vs Taylor was really good. Cool to see Wilde with the surprise win and then Masha just go crazy lol

As usual, the main event was the match of the night. Good stuff from all involved. I'm digging the Fabulous Four. Vickie Lynn will make a good addition. Kandi Krush is going to need some back up soon. It would make sense for her to bring in Princess Aussie. Robbie Rockette is a nice little trash talking heel. Decent match between her and Keta Rush.

Nice to see Kiera get some offense in tonight so that it wasn't a total squash. Would have been nice to get some televised promos or even a video package to enhance the story here so that it didn't feel so much like another random Jade title defense as opposed to former allies doing battle. Not sure what's up with Red Velvet either but breaking up the Baddies seems a little premature. Unless the idea is maybe to break them off from Jade?

Because Rampage and Dynamite are not the same show

Charlotte returning and immediately winning the women's championship was probably the most non-Vince Vince decision yet. I have to think there are more interesting ways to utilize her than plopping her right back into the same role that exhausted so many on her in the first place. Other than that, Ronda/Raquel was fine. Nice to see them get some time.

That main event was everything. I knew Shida and Hayter would kill it but they demolished. Nice to see the return of Toni Storm as well. Too bad Thunder Rosa isn't ready as she would have been a nice surprise assist too but Saraya will do as well.

Becky/Bayley was a really good match. Liked the shadiness at the end to continue the program. I'm not opposed to intergender wrestling. I enjoyed how it was presented in Lucha Underground but tonight's match was certainly a...choice.

So happy to see Ruby back. Nice stuff with her and Tay and good to see that it looks like it's going to continue with Anna Jay and an inevitable partner for Ruby thrown in the mix. I remember liking the Ruby/Toni team right before ThunderStorm were a thing. So a return to that would certainly be cool. I'm so ready for Hayter/Shida.

I knew there would be more to Lana and Penelope being at ringside than just commentary but I didn't expect the Miami Sweet Heat swerve. Good stuff. Speaking of which, I liked Penelope vs Chantilly. Always enjoy when the more experienced girls get to go at it and Penelope is my pick for underrated fave. Foxy Fierce is that girl. Oh and McLane got me to stan with his mentions of the old school women's tag teams. Love stuff like that. And enjoyed the plotting super villains feel of Lana and Penelope at her penthouse. WOW promos rule.

It's crazy. I figured all of that "she might get fired" talk was nervous handwringing. lol Sucks for anyone to lose their job but at least she's smart and has multiple streams of income and options. Now, she's free to do what she wants on her terms.

Enjoyed the women's Iron Survivor Challenge and the right woman definitely won. Roxanne Perez is it. I also liked Alba Fyre/Isla Dawn too. I know the ending will be polarizing but I dig Isla being a disciple of Papa Shango. I was a GLOW fan. Shit like that is right in my wheelhouse lol

Tiki Chamorro is just the best. Enjoyed the match between her and Glitch. Once again, the main event was my favorite of this episode. I was surprised to see Aussie and Leia take the win but, based on the cliffhanger, things look far from over for these four. Good. I can definitely get behind a proper feud between all involved. Speaking of, we definitely need more of the Bully Busters vs Gigi and Adriana.

Good stuff from Willow and Anna Jay, leading into the huge Ruby return.

The video package on the tag titles just cemented that they have always had a long and loopy history lol So, this tournament is just going right along with what's come before. Weird to even throw Holidead and Chainsaw in there just to go back to the original match anyway lol I liked BK and Glitch together. Can't believe MAGA Jesse done turned face on us lol

Penelope and The Bunny have reunited to cause mayhem. All is right in AEW.

Miami's Sweet Heat have been kinda eh for me but I really liked them here. Probably their best showing yet.

The finals of the tag titles was getting pretty good before the wild finish. While I would have preferred a clear cut winning team, I can't front. That was a nice bit of a cliffhanger, especially with the tease of a Tonga Twins showdown with Holidead and Chainsaw. Favorite match of the show had to be Penelope Pink vs Foxy Fierce. Nice bit of chemistry between these two and Penelope remains one of my favorite heels. I've always dug Lana's shtick since the old WOW days. Liking the return of the Bully Busters too and the emerging feud with Gianni and Gambino. You could definitely see a few of the women looking a little lost during the trios match but the right team won. Speaking of the Sisters, has Mezmeriah actually wrestled yet? I love the cheesy backstage bits. I'm as invested as Kandi is at finding out who nabbed those gloves lol

Americana 2.0 has some nice athleticism. Once she puts it all together, I can see her being a force in WOW. And she's another with a cool story. Chantilly/BK was a perfectly fine WOW match, solid, inoffensive wrestling with a goofy moment or two (this time, face Chantilly blatantly holding the ropes during a pin attempt) It's great that Holidead is on our screens regularly again. Surprise win for the face team as I expected Holidead and Chainsaw to tear them apart lol I called the boxing gloves being stolen as soon as Steffy pulled Keta aside. I'm calling set-up Main was great. Good to see my girl, Princess Aussie, finally get herself a nice win. And the post match attack and antics were great. We need a Leia/Aussie vs Wrecking Ball/Tormenta tag like yesterday. Next show, the Tonga Twins win or we riot.

So, Giselle Shaw and Jordynne Grace killed it tonight. And perfect ending with the Masha attack, setting up the eventual rematch, which should be epic. Also enjoyed Mickie/Chelsea. Nice fake-outs with the ref bump and Deonna interference.

Was pleasantly surprised by Hayter/Blue, which I assumed would be a squash. Nice little match and one of Blue's best showings yet.

Yeah, the tag tournament is just whatever McLane feels like at the moment lol I love the term "WOW Good". lol I know it's not popular but I enjoy watching the greener women as they continue to progress and put it all together.

The opening tag was great. The Tonga Twins are so going to win this whole thing. Best showing from Kandi Krush yet. The main was my favorite match and I now want to see Leia's mom take on Sophia Lopez. lol
