5. Will Hobbs vs. Ryzin

In which Will Hobbs flattens the nu-metal's own Ryzin.

Hobbs' squash format is yet to outlive its use. This was more of the same, with Will flexing through big power spots, though his Dark deal isn't even close to wearing thin. He's one of the most fun wrestlers to watch in AEW, his offense always looks great, and he was more vocal than ever here, talking trash en route to scoring his inevitable victory.

Good stuff. It'll be interesting to see how he does in a more competitive match with Brian Cage on Dynamite tonight.
