4. Lacking Chris Sabin

Going forward, any and all Swinger's Palace skits need to feature Chris Sabin. Yes, the segments are a major downfall for Sabin, considering he faced the AEW World Champion at Hard To Kill, but he's legitimately vastly enjoyable in the Palace.

Instead, this week's Palace skit was used to add further hype to TJP and Ace Austin's X Division Championship clash at Sacrifice. TJP had put odds on Ace to say a handful of lines, before essentially setting up a match between Austin and Chris Bey for next week. An extremely bland segment all around, especially the callback to Ace's infatuation with Alisha Edwards.

An honorary Up for Bey dubbing Madman Fulton 'Angry Boy Futon'. When something's this bad, you have to squeeze any positivity you can out of it, sadly.
