Ray noted that while he “enjoyed” the JAS break-up segment, he did not like “the placement” of it on the show, arguing that The Hardys vs. The Young Bucks match should have opened the night instead of an elaborate promo segment. “There wasn’t that big match feel, there was something missing in the arena,” Ray said. “I wonder if the JAS segment just drew people down a little bit where they found it difficult to get up for The Hardys and The Bucks.” 

As the “Busted Open” crew further reviewed the show, Dreamer gave props to his old ECW rival Rob Van Dam for still performing at a high level at the age of 52. 

“I truly loved the match,” Dreamer admitted. “I loved seeing Van Dam out there — that guy singlehandedly changed the wrestling industry. And, he does get enough credit for what he did, but you may never see that ever again. 

“If I’m Rob Van Dam, I’m super duper proud to say that was my last match — and I know it’s not going to be. I’d love to see a rematch, don’t know if it’s going to happen, but I thought Rob did a great piece of business for both himself and Jack Perry.”

Finally, Ray was critical of the build-up to Anna Jay vs. AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida title match, arguing that AEW should have set up the main event with a backstage segment. “Give me a little backstage animosity for 30 seconds where Ana says something to Shida and Shida takes exception. Anything — as opposed to an advertised title match that nobody has any idea why it’s happening in the first place.”
