Anna Jay vs. Deonna Purrazzo

[4.0] "For the most part, this is okay, but lands on a bizarre finish that just doesn't add up. The work beforehand is more fine than anything notable in either direction yet conceptually, that finish is baffling enough to suggest otherwise. *3/4"

[4.0] "Generic beginning for the Zero Hour, it was still very short but it the action didn't get good either. It's a pity considering Purrazzo was involved but She simply didn't have the opportunity to show up as She would do in IMPACT. It could have still been worse. **"

[4.0] "Might be an idea to send Anna Jay back to Japan for another year. Deonna has been immediately lost to the lower card purgatory which is a shame as she is actually good but needs a partner to tango with but has mostly been knocking about with the dregs of the division."

[4.0] "A rather mediocre match, but above all an embarrassing finish. Jay may be making some progress, but I wasn't really convinced by this match. In-ring quality: 1.25/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification 0.5/. Place on the card: 0.5/1. Suspense: 0.5/1. Bonus/Malus: -0.5 for inconsistent refereeing. Total: 3.75/10.Match seen on AEW's YouTube channel."

[4.0] "This was pretty sloppy, even for a PPV buy-in. Anna is improving but I'm just not convinced that she'll ever be much more than what she is now. Taya as a valet instead of wrestling is just not a good book."

"It was a solid match overall, with Anna Jay showcasing noticeable improvement since her time in Japan. She seemed to be the one carrying the bulk of the match, with Purrazzo appearing a bit off at times, almost clumsy in her execution. Despite this, Annas growth as a performer was evident, and she took control of the pace. I also enjoyed Taya Valkyries presence at ringside; she added a nice layer of intrigue to the match, whether through her interactions or the added tension she brought to the overall dynamic."

[2.0] "I found the match was sloppy considering the talent involved, I was confused when Taya speared Anna Jay Infront of the ref and Purrazzo wasn't immediately disqualified but Taya was just thrown out, 2/10 for the simple fact it was short, and didn't seem to hurt anyone in the long run."

[7.0] "Really enjoyed this match. Deonna is one of my favourite workers in AEW and Anna Jay has improved significantly. This was hindered by a empty crowd but the action was there and Id like to see them run this back with more time and more narrative behind it."

[4.0] "Anna Jay has improved since shes been to Japan. Really? She was walked through this match move by move by Deonna and it was plain to see. Nice roll up finish though."

[5.0] "this was a pretty good opener, both good wrestlers, but maybe could've been a bit longer. Enjoyed Taya at ringside."
