Welcome to a fresh edition of eWrestlingNews Question of the Day!
We’ve completed another production of AEW Worlds End 2024, the final Pay-Per-View event of the year. It had a mix of fantastic moments and parts that didn’t quite meet the mark, requiring some contemplation.
So the question I pose to you today is “What stood out for you as the highs and lows of AEW Worlds End 2024?”
Be sure to share your thoughts and interpretations in the comment section below.
In terms of my viewpoint…
For me, this was a typical AEW event delivering engaging matches at most times. Even though there were mostly good in-ring segments, I found nothing extraordinary to discuss.
I consider the overall match-line up to be the main highlight, with special emphasis on the performance of Will Ospreay, the stand-out player of the night. While I enjoyed the fixtures between Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs, and Mercedes Mone and Kris Statlander, I must say Ospreay showing his skills against Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada gives him some bonus brownie points.
Ospreay’s consistent excellent performance isn’t shocking. He is counted amongst the best wrestlers on the roster and can presumably give a good match partnering with anyone. His chemistry with his co-wrestlers only enhances his success rate.
Coming to the less enjoying part, I found the event to be rather flat as there weren’t any surprising moments to talk about. It was the same old story with all the champions retaining their titles. The Mone-Statlander match was a repeat performance, so nothing new there. I didn’t think Thunder Rosa was worthy to beat Mariah May either.
The predictable returns were not impressive. The face-off between Kenny Omega returning and Okada was easy to guess. The appearance of Adam Copeland and FTR was also something set up during the previous month. The final event ending on that note seemed uncalled for.
But my least preferred segment was the Adam Cole and MJF match. It was not as exciting as expected and the conclusion with MJF retaining his Dynamite Diamond Ring, being defeated by Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly, followed by their show of unity with Adam Cole, Mike Bennett and Matt Taven was pretty bland. This feud needs a conclusion. The storyline seems to be stuck since its inception and has been dragging too long despite lackluster performances. Even if the conclusion isn’t satisfactory, it’s better to end it now rather than dragging it needlessly. It doesn’t seem promising anymore that it can turn around to be entertaining.
We would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to comment below!
