The Main Event: Bullet Club is Back
AEW has their own version of the Bullet Club. First, some backstory. Early in the night, former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley came out and cut a promo on Kenny Omega and his “used car salesman” Don Callis
It's deeper than just revenge for @JonMoxley

After Omega put away Fenix in a fantastic main event, Moxley came out to save Fenix from a further beatdown. He didn’t realize that Omega had reinforcements in the wings. The Good Brothers, Gallows & Anderson, came out and attacked Moxley. More babyfaces came out to even the field, including the Young Bucks. The Bucks superkicked Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr., and turned heel. Five members of Bulley Club have reunited in AEW.

The Undercard:
Shida was able to fend off the zombie attacks of Abadon in one of the best built women’s feuds in AEW so far. With Abadon put away, who will be the next person to step up and face Shida? The latest rankings had Big Swole and Nyla Rose at the top. Rose has had her shot, so maybe Big Swole could be the next challenger.
.@abadon_AEW has taken a bite out of the neck of @shidahikaru!

Snoop Dogg appeared as Cody’s coach. After Serpentico came out to attack Cody post-match, he ended up being on the receiving end of one of the worst splashes of all time.
BIG SPLASH FROM @SNOOPDOGG!

At the weigh-in for next week’s TNT Championship match, Sting made another appearance. He seems to firmly be running with Darby Allin ahead of his matchup with Brian Cage and Team Taz. Many people want to see Sting wrestle once again, but a role as a manager to give the rub to a younger talent is where he should be now.
"We all know how this ends. So let's get to the fun part" – TNT Champion @DarbyAllin

Grade: B
The Bullet Club angle at the end will get some folks extremely excited. I am not counted among them. There have been so many versions and iterations of BC that at this point it isn’t anything fresh or exciting. Heel Omega has been great so far, so this will just give him a bit more heat. Abandon & Shida had a fun match for the Women’s Championship. Sting and Snoop Dogg were fun appearances, and nothing on the show was particularly bad.
