[@aricgarcia8482]

I like how rich swann and shane strickland have the same energy when they do their entrances it's awesome

[@The-Assassin-From-Hell]

I do tend to get their names mixed up...

[@rnan1999.]

Is that guy Killshot from Lucha Underground?

[@sandraandrews9907]

Rønan Yes, it is.

[@SunkenTreasuresGames]

Really love the way you guys filmed this. I would purchase this on Blu-ray/DVD. Looking forward to attending our first DEFY event in May!

[@yamipost6706]

Defy definitely needs more recognition they have some WWE quality content and with the same rotation of wrestlers (free agent or signee) they could do numbers on a big network

[@GordonSlamsay]

dang, I really love the low lighting

[@roycuffee8387]

This is one of the best wrestling matches I’ve never seen!

[@jbasti227]

These 2 have some of the best entrances themes in wrestling

[@jgeorge2693]

Adrenaline in my soul, welcome back Cody Rhodes

[@DaVinciNoir]

The cinematic shooting style of this is fantastic. I wish bigger companies would adopt this to give a fresh look to their content which basically looks the same as it did in the 90s.

[@XAmericanRenegadeX]

Man all of these promotions who are attracting such top notch talent. I am really impressed and loving all of the variety these days. Cody is my favorite of today for sure.

[@djnation408]

Haha the crowd was great calling out that dude who shouted stardust

[@XoloOfficial]

I love the camera cuts. The production value is amazing!

Out of all GFW titles, the next Gen vanished from Impact LMAo.

[@TheNerdySportsGuy]

please upload Shane vs Morrison!

[@Backpackfiles]

This week in pro wrestling and sports entertainment brought me back here.

[@DimJongUn]

Got to meet Swerve a few years ago when AEW didn't know what to do with him. Amazing person, hard worker, glad he's on top now. Also, I'm a shameless Cody fan. That guy loves this business more than anyone and I'm glad he finished his story. Not to ramble, but lastly, if you ever have an opportunity to go to a DEFY show, do it! Amazing atmosphere, and great local and national talent at each event.

[@ethand1429]

Gone from this to the main event of wrestlemania

[@Eszakamrnaija]

[@alexanderharper6572]

AEW gave him the world title like he rightfully deserved, and while I love WWE as well, they teamed this man with Top Dolla
