3. All Of This Stuff

AEW's seventh-quarter match announcements are always a fun part of the show, as the promotion typically uses that spot to unveil droves of bouts for upcoming Dynamites and Rampage. Last night was particularly ridiculous. The sheer volume of stuff put together on this show is worthy of special commendation itself because good lord, just look at these cards:-

RAMPAGE (17 SEP)

World Tag Team Titles: The Lucha Brothers (c) vs. The Butcher and The Blade

TNT Title: Miro (c) vs. Fuego del Sol

Anna Jay vs. The Bunny

DYNAMITE GRAND SLAM (22 SEP)

Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson

Women's World Title: Britt Baker (c) vs. Ruby Soho

Cody Rhodes vs. Malakai Black

FTR vs. Darby Allin and Sting

MJF vs. Brian Pillman Jr.

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston vs. Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer

RAMPAGE GRAND SLAM (24 SEP)

CM Punk vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

The Young Bucks and Adam Cole vs. Christian Cage and Jurassic Express

Chris Jericho and Jake Hager vs. The Men of the Year

Each of these matches was either announced or built towards last night, which highlights that there isn't another promotion that uses its limited television time as efficiently as AEW at the moment. What they accomplished across two hours was remarkable, booking-wise.
