It tells fans exactly what to expect, gives each match a chance to stand on its own, and ultimately should leave fans wanting more instead of exhausted from a four-hour long blitz to the finish line without so much as an Arby’s advertisement to break things up. In that regard, squeezing three championship matches into an hour of action with limited commercials breaks is a pretty interesting way to push the promotion’s storytelling along, especially with the promotion’s next Pay-Per-View, All Out, a little under a month away. That’s right, after watching the debuts of Josh Woods, Mance Warner, and Madison Rayne, the dissolution of the Undisputed Elite, and a literal dumpster match that saw the Ass Boys Gunn Club Kane-d off the stage like they were Zack Ryder, the AEW Galaxy will be afforded three more big-time bouts featuring six of the best performer they have to offer, even if some may quibble ever so slightly with the matches selected – where are the Briscoes? – or the fact the show was technically pre-recorded on Friday, which takes a little bit of fun out of things if you end up getting the card spoiled on Twitter.Īnd yet, even in a sport like wrestling that is occasionally pre-taped and is (almost) always pre-scripted, the magic isn’t necessarily in the pinfall, but the story told to get there in the ring and the implications of it that linger on after the match comes to an end. After AEW Dark Elevation, AEW Dark, AEW Dynamite, AEW Dark Elevation, again, and AEW Rampage, Tony Khan’s week-long tour de wrestling will officially culminate at Battle of the Belts III, an hour-long showcase of three of the promotion’s 60 six titles, 12 if you factor in the ROH World Heavyweight, Television, Pure, Women’s, 6 Man, and Tag Team championships.
