Dave Meltzer has handed out his star ratings for AEW WrestleDream.
AEW WrestleDream will be best remembered for the shocking debut of Adam Copeland, better known to wrestling fans as Edge. Copeland came to the rescue of Darby Allin and Sting after the pair had been brutally beaten down by Christian Cage, Luchasaurus, and a newly-heel Nick Wayne.
While Copeland might have taken the headlines, the card was stacked, with the likes of Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, MJF, and Will Ospreay all in action.
Although it wasn’t the main event, arguably the biggest match on the night was the clash between Danielson and Zack Sabre Jr. The pair met to decide the ‘best technical wrestler in the world,’ and after a stunningly hard-hitting contest, it was the American Dragon who grabbed the win. Although Sabre Jr. has since called for a rematch.
