I'm in favor of longer matches. And the main event and the women's match definitely deserved to be longer matches. But I also recognize that they need to pay the bills. It seems like the only match they're able to commercial free is the opening segment, which is usually pretty good (Except when you need Moxley to squash someone segment to prove a point).

At least they seemed to structure the matches so that the break happens during the methodical heel beatdown/babyface in peril segments. And I have larger issues with those portions of a match in general, especially during the pandemic. But those issues aren't unique to AEW, as they happen on every televised match in every company.
