Damn I passed out during the Mox Cesaro vs Jay White Edge match

I missed the main event, is there somewhere I can watch it?

I’d rather see it than read spoilers

That main event finish sucked all the air out of that dope match for me, personally.

It actually made sense on many levels, Toni has win all of her matches that way since returning with the rookie gimmick, and during the match they used their finishers multiple times to no avail, so she had to resort to something else to win it all.

Yeah, the overuse of finishers into false finishes that led to that was kinda blah, too.

I would've taken a submission finish over a random rollup. Toni had already tried once in that match, and it would've been cool to see her lock it in again for the win.

Fightful regarding the size of the ring, it was an 18x18 ring. Amazing how just two less feet can be so noticeable on TV.

For some reason, the discourse on Twitter following AEW Grand Slam was that AEW didn't properly factor freight times properly for Brisbane and the company had to get loaned a ring. Well, as it turns out, bad faith grifter accounts usually lie, and this is another case of that.

AEW typically uses a 20x20 ring in the United States, and doesn't ship their rings overseas. There was no instance of forgetting the ring, not planning freight, or anything like that. The plan was to always use an 18x18 ring -- the same size used by TNA, and that was used by ROH, ECW, WCW and virtually every prominent indie company. Most AEW talent came up using an 18x18 ring. It was not 16x16 as claimed online.

WWE traditionally has their own rings that are stored overseas as opposed to having them shipped over. Whether or not the ring used on Grand Slam was the one they'd planned on renting, we don't know, but it was always planned to be an 18x18 ring.

AEW has also used an 18x18 ring in the United States in the past, including for the Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa cage match.

I told y'all who the lead in was was important. Remember the last time they did that Jericho was opening thus creating the memes and shots

I saw a thread that got deleted. Some dude was wilding over the opening tag.

Starting the show now. Max is dumb for listing this as a Collision episode. It should be under the special events listing as Grand Slam Australia, IMO

Opening tag match is fantastic so far. So glad that Kenny OMEGAWD is back.
