After the match, Toni Storm picks Mina up and they.. well, they make out in the ring and then Mina drops to her knees and shows the champion respect.

Rating: ****3/4. Listen, it wasn’t Savage/Steamboat, but holy cow did I enjoy this. Was it entertaining? Yes. It was nuts, over the top, hilarious, terrifying, all the adjectives you can attach to it. The storylines inside of the match were good, the action was great, you couldn’t take your eyes off of it. I expected an Eddie Kingston return here, too, but we didn’t get it.

Page celebrates and heads to the back, only to turn around halfway up the ramp and come back to the ring. Page extends the hand to Ospreay, and he shakes it.
Final Thoughts: This… this was a long one. Four and a half hours is a lot to ask from the fans, but they were alive and with it until the very end. Go out of your way to see Page/Ospreay, Okada/Bailey, Mercedes/Hayter, and of course, Anarchy in the Arena. The entire show delivered, but if you don’t have four and a half hours, make sure you check out those two. There was nothing even remotely close to bad on this show, but still, we could have probably trimmed a match or two and have been fine. Regardless, AEW continues to bring the heat when it comes to PPV. 9/10.Â
