MJF used the "Cult of Personality" intro as mocking for Punk, Punk did the same in 2008 while he mocked Jeff Hardy during his role as a heel.

Sting, Sammy Guevara & Darby Allin vs. Andrade El Ídolo, Matt Hardy & Isiah Kassidy in a Tornado Trios Match
Unfortunately, this match was one of the weakest matches, despite the big names participating in it. The storytelling of the match was horrible, the performance of the AHFO was disappointing, although, it was believed that Hardy would have more pushes amid his reunion with his brother and historical tag team partner Jeff Hardy.

At the End
In general, the show was very good, and there is an impressive improvement in the quality of AEW shows on the level of the weekly shows, as well as the PPVs.
Two surprising appearances were marked tonight, mainly Regal's one which will open the doors for more maturity on the level of writing that is still suffering from some issues, but AEW really did a great, breathtaking job tonight.
There are a few mistakes observed in the performances, and the card match needed to be better organized as the latest two matches were heavy for the audience.
