[8.0] "I felt Sammy was overhyped since his debut, but through the couple of years he's been in AEW, he's grown so much and since they've stopped the ridiculous Eddie Guerrero comparisons, I started enjoying him more. Miro is a monster heel and I felt he didn't hold his title long enough, but it is Tony Khan's toybox and I'm just here to try and enjoy it."
[8.0] "Very good David vs. Goliath kind of match: Miro dominated in the first half of the match and looked like a monster. Sammy had a great comeback and even hit a crazy dive over the top rope. Miro hit his signature kick and started to take off the protections to the turnbuckles and that give Sammy some time to recover, get back in the ring, hit a knee strike, a tornado ddt, the g.t.h. and the 630 senton that got him the win. I'm a Sammy Guevara mark, I'm proud to say it and this was a beautiful moment. Miro had a great reign but Sammy (at the time) was the right man to put an end to it. 8/10 - 4*/5*"
[8.0] "A fabulous main event contest to wrap it up. It followed the tenet of a David vs Goliath storyline. Miro has the strength and power built in physique like a brick house. In contrast, Sammy is the smaller man but faster and athletically superior who looks to change the course of this match using his resiliency, tolerance, and tenacity. He would also look to create enough momentum with his moves in order to take down Miro by damaging his base and taking him off of his footing. It had a vivid presence of hard-hitting intensity and an electric crowd atmosphere. They hit each other with all they had, firing all cylinders. Miro had begun to get frustrated due to his inability to finish Sammy early as he had originally desired. The overconfidence had waned away and he had turned more aggressive. Sammy at this moment showcased his iron will and heart of a warrior, kicking out at almost everything dished out at him by the redeemer. My favorite spots were Sammy leaping over the turnbuckles for a beautiful aerial maneuver and the ending as well. Miro had blown a fuse and tore off all the top rope turnbuckles on all four corners only for Sammy to send him face-first onto the turnbuckles. Sammy had worked the neck before which was his known weak spot. Sammy then connected with a series of moves ending with the 630 senton to ensure the victory and crown himself as the new face of the network. Great stuff, felt relatively simple and rustic but delivered big time, and thats what matters.****"
[4.0] "Not a fan of this one. I didn't think either guy offered anything interesting here. Some cool counters here and there but everything felt either basic or forgettable. Sammy's Burning Hammer into Facecrusher finisher always looks terrible. Pretty cool to see Sammy win as he's over and I usually enjoy his matches. But this one didn't click. **1/4"
[8.0] "Sammy really excels in matches with bigger opponents. Miro really excels at being a great presence and is bigger than Sammy. Neat story touches from the Fuego vs. Miro feud and the Miro vs. DDT's feud too."
[8.0] "Starker Main Event. Miro war zum großen Teil natürlich dominant, aber man hat schnell gemerkt, dass Sammy nicht so leicht zu schlagen ist. Dessen Sieg kam ehrlich gesagt ziemlich überraschend für mich, ich hätte erwartet dass Sammy zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt den Titel holt, auch weil ich Miro gerne länger als Champ gesehen hätte. Das Match selbst war intensiv und spannend und das Finish passend. Ich freu mich für Sammy und bin gespannt was da so kommen wird"
[8.0] "A really good title match for the TNT Championship. Miro and Sammy performed. Miro's weak spot was taken advantage of and Sammy finally wins his first championship."
[5.0] "That was a weird finish, as it looked like Sammy hit Miro's knees with the move. Glad to see them finally pull the trigger on Guevara, although this was kind of a weird style clash that didn't work great and Sammy's seeming knee issue didn? t help"
[6.0] "Das ist durchaus passend erzählt. Miro ist der dominante, arrogante Champ und Sammy der ebenso arrogante, aber optimistische Herausforderer, der nun die Gunst der Stunde nutzen möchte und das gelingt ihm. Matchstory hätte mehr passendes Leben verdient, aber im Kern ist das schon ordentlich. Der Pop sitzt, ich hätte mir einen besseren Run für Miro gewünscht."
[8.0] "I knew it. That was Sammy's hour. Great match to close down Miro's reign. No use of the David vs. Goliath dynamic, that helped much. Miro's performance was impactful as fuck but Sammy has the heart to do it. Great finish as well."
[7.0] "Starker Main Event der auf dem selben Level des Openers ist. Mir gefiel die Dynamik bei den 2 stark verschiedenen Gewichtsklassen. Miro bringt mehr Powermoves und stiffe Schläge, während Sammy sich an seinem explosivem Highflying bedienen muss. Das haben die wirklich gut rüber gebracht und so ein realistisches und packendes Ende vollbracht. Crowd hat auch recht gut für Stimmung gesorgt(***3/4)."
[8.0] "Für mich ein Ticken schlechter als der Opener, aber trotzdem sehr starkes Match zwischen Sammy und Miro. Miro dominiert gefühlt das ganze Match, bis Sammy zum großen Comeback zurückkommt. Sehr stark erzählt, auch starker Moment mit den Titelwechsel am Ende."
[9.0] "Great match from two of AEW's most engaging talents, and the thing is I really do believe they have an even better one between them. Both guys pulled out some really impressive moves, and there was some nice story and intelligence both around the background of the feud and Miro's infamous weakness for head attacks. I was surprised the crowd was not hotter but that's how it goes sometimes."
[6.0] "I am not happy. Sammy is talented but immature, Miro was a great champion, he needed to continue the reign. Good match, but disappointing ending."
[5.0] "There were some neat spots, but to be honest, I really wasn't feeling this match. Felt maybe it was a touch premature to put the belt on Sammy, there were times where the crowd didn't seem to be super into it. Though, once he hit his finisher, and got the 3 count, there was a nice reaction from the crowd."
[7.0] "Dieses Match lebte sehr von der David vs Goliath Dynamik und wesentlich komplexer wurde es auch nicht aber das konnte mich in der Umsetzung vor Allem gegen ende raus schon mitnehmen und schließlich wurde das ein stimmungsvoller Titelwechsel und ein mehr als anständiges Match, welches in meinen Augen 7 Punkte verdient."
[7.0] "Felt like this match could've been a bit better maybe. It just lacked something but anyway it was still good. The ending sequence was very well done. Even though I liked Miro, I think Sammy will do a good champion."
[7.0] "Solid main event between Miro and Guevara to conclude a pretty average episode in terms of action, I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best match of the night as for me the opener between Adam Cole and Jungle Boy was slightly superior but overall it was just some good shit all around in this TNT Championship match. There's nothing better than competitive matches for this title and in this kind of setting too, the match had a similar write up to the one between Miro and Darby Allin a few months ago but with the good guy winning this time so the happy ending makes the match even better. The action wasn't flamboyant though but it was simple and effective, a sober dynamic with a perfect heel and a perfect face, all with a crowd that played along and was invested from start to finish. All that is simple in wrestling and on top of that, a result that makes you happy, great for Guevara."
[9.0] "9.5 - Given I'm not a Sammy fan, it's interesting to see I'm in the minority with how much I loved this match. Miro is genuinely one of the most captivating performers working today. He does all the simple stuff, like striking and headlocks, so effectively. Sammy also bumps and sells like a god. I know AEW don't do rematches often but these two need more. Top 5 Dynamite MOTY."
[8.0] "A very good, simple dynamic executed well. Powerhouse champion with a weak point vs fast high flier underdog. The Fuego del Sol angle that built to this gave it good heat, and the way they built up the neck targeting by Sammy was great, especially Miro's selling which was exceptional as it got across that he was nearly unstoppable if the neck wasn't a problem. It makes the win feel earned and monumental while keeping Miro looking strong for the future. Crowd loved it too, and that always helps face title wins. ***3/4"
[7.0] "Good match. The action might not have been amazing but it produced one of the best moments in AEW as Guevara finally reaches the Promise Land. And the fact that it happened on Brodie Lee's celebration day makes this moment more valuable than it could ever have been. Kudos to Miro for making Guevara shine. ***3/4."
[8.0] "This match was great, it cut off Miro's reign just a little early but it was worth it to see Sammy Guevera finally getting his chance to shine. Sammy Guevera's offense in this match looked great and truly made him look like a star."
[8.0] "this was a fun match where the culmination on the miro's fucked neck storyline ended. I feel like it was only a matter of time before someone successfully exploited that weakness and Sammy did in this match. I thought the end sequence was great and really made Miro seem strong in defeat and Sammy looked v smart. which is refreshing for a babyface nowadays"
[9.0] "One of Miro's best matches yet in AEW and Sammy looked great too, both focusing on their strengths but doing well to sell too. Totally unexpected end, even with 30 seconds left I expected Miro to submit Sammy. A very well put together match and an unbelievable result as the 2nd of AEW's 4 pillars wins a title."
