Result: Edge chokes AJ out with a Sleeper for the win (16:25).

Rating: While certainly not reaching its full potential, this was a solid follow-up to their WrestleMania match with tighter pacing and great psychology as Edge relentlessly targeted AJ's shoulder.

It's a shame about the interference shenanigans late in the game after their Mania match had a similar finish, though, and it's also totally silly that the "banned from ringside" rule apparently doesn't apply to the entire interior arena area.

However, Rhea Ripley is definitely an inspired addition to Edge's faction, and it'll be interesting to see who AJ adds in return.

This could've gone harder, but hopefully their likely impending Hell in a Cell match will dispense with the screwy finishes and end the trio of matches on a high. 7/10
