The show started with a... Swerve?? Not surprising since Joe vs. Dustin was more likely going to be the headliner of the show over Cope vs. Penta.
One interesting thing about Swerve is that he is absolutely not a white-meat babyface. He is a babyface in the Eddie Guerrero tradition, someone who got cheered despite being somewhat of a dirtbag. They're leaning into it quite heavily here, and that's smart.
