Looked good: Hideo Itami
Brian Kendrick had his moments, but Hideo Itami quickly put him away. The crowd was actually decently into the contest. The bout ended with a GTS that Cory Graves took pains to remind us was "invented and popularized" by Itami rather than another superstar he wouldn't name.
Out of the title picture, for now, expect Itami to collect scalps as he heats up for contention at WrestleMania.
Looked bad: Finn Balor
Finn Balor had a competitive match with the guy that hasn't won a match in over a year. That says it all.
Already defeated, Vince McMahon now seems intent on sowing Finn Balor's fields with salt so that he can never rise again.
What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
