The giant hand slapping Sami made me think I was watching the Oscars. Either that, or Mark Henry & Mae Young's son made his WM debut.
The celebrities certainly delivered. I would argue that Austin Theory is too young to carry a non-wrestler, but he did well, I read that Pat McAfee was training with Rip Rogers, not some of his buddies in a barn like Corey Graves said, so that certainly helped.
Becky-Bianca was my favorite match of both nights. Seven months of buildup to a great payoff. And that, AEW, is how you book a long-term storyline.
I loved the receptions for Austin, Cody, and UT. And Austin did great considering his age, inactivity, and injuries.
Reigns-Lesnar was what you'd expect. Same handful of moves over and over, short match for a main event. Both care capable of better.
