SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…
The 1st Bank Center is a 6500 seat arena located in the city of Broomfield, 15 miles outside of downtown Denver.
(Josh’s Analysis: Match of the night was either the Tag Team Championship match or PAC vs. Cassidy. Both were great for very different reasons. The only thing that really bothered me was the nonsensical eye-patch ruse at the end of Moxley-Jericho. All in all this was by far AEW’s best PPV so far. 4.5 stars.)
Penelope Ford & Britt Baker def. Yuka Sakazaki & Riho
Last Saturday at AEW Revolution, the Inner Circle took a beating. Darby Allin defeated Sammy Guevara, and Jon Moxley dethroned AEW World Champion Chris Jericho. Jake Hager scored the faction’s only win over Dustin Rhodes. Guevara and Jericho will be out for revenge tonight and (if history is any indication) Santana, Ortiz and Hager will be on hand to try and tip the scale in their favor.
(Josh’s Analysis: I have been consistently impressed by AEW’s ability to build stars that I care about over it’s relatively short existence, and can think of no better examples than Darby Allin and Sammy Guevara. Allin and Guevara are absolute superstars in the making, and putting them in the ring with Moxley and Jericho is a great move by AEW. Expect Moxley and Allin to go over to a massive babyface reaction.)
