5. PAC Is Back!

It's great to see PAC back on AEW programming.

He scored a routine win over Aaron Solo on Collision, then cut an ominous, to-the-point promo begging for "trouble". According to the jacked Geordie, he'll go looking for that trouble if Tony Khan doesn't start giving him some proper competition. This is the kind of easy storytelling people can get behind.

Fingers crossed this turns out to be a more sustained run from PAC too. He could use that, because some of his prior stints on AEW TV have petered out a little and become less memorable because of that. Give him this kind of promo time weekly, and start building better and better opponents to meet the challenge. Simple!

Solo was never going to cause an upset here, but he bounced around well for PAC and even got a few licks in himself. That helped, but PAC didn't over-sell anything and galvanised for the final push before taking Aaron to school and stretching him.
