Pros: Congratulations for Mercedes Moné capturing both women’s championships making her the first and only female professional wrestler to win titles across WWE, AEW and NJPW. Shota Umino beat Claudio. Konosuke Takeshita retain both his Never Openweight Championship and the AEW International championship after winning them the night before. Kenny Omega is back and mange to get a win over Gabe kidd & Zack Saber Jr retaining his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship again at this event.
Cons: I don’t agreed having a women’s cup 4-way final involved on the main show. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Katsuyori Shibata might benefitted with a other couple of minutes. I didn’t like seeing the Young Bucks winning the IWGP Tag Titles & This event of overshadowed what came before from the previous one Wrestle kingdom a day ago.
