On the latest episode of his My World podcast, recorded live less than 24 hours after AEW Redemption in Montreal — a show Jarrett worked as part of the kickoff panel — he broke down the card, the Rougeau family tribute, and the standout performers. You can check out his comments below:
“As we got into the buy-in show, if I could tell you how many different moving parts were going on. I stumbled over myself, but what I meant to say was nobody does PLEs or pay-per-views like AEW does. Stacked cards, a lot of Omega — such a unique character. Jay Lethal was super entertaining, but the Montreal crowd brought it. The Rougeau brothers, 80 years — me and Ray were catching up backstage, and his uncle got into the business the same year as my grandmother Christine, 1946. So 80 years of professional wrestling with the Rougeaus and the Jarretts. The French Canadians bring it loud and proud. They always have.”
On the match that stood out, Jarrett pointed to Kyle Fletcher and Bandido:
“I expected Omega to tear the house down, and he did. Kevin Knight is a super athlete — it did him a world of good to be elevated for the night, getting a main event against Omega the month before All In at Wembley. But Bandido and Fletcher — in the words of good old JR, blue chippers, those two never disappoint. The Bucks don’t have a bad match on pay-per-view. That ladder match was a car crash, like I thought it would be. But I land back on Fletcher and Bandido. We’re beginning to see his body of work. He’s really, really good.”
On the Young Bucks setting up a title match with Christian Cage and Adam Copeland at Wembley, Jarrett said the story writes itself:
“The Bucks showing up at the end of Cage and Copeland was simplistic but super powerful. I’ve heard many old-time bookers say the story’s already there, don’t screw it up. Don’t overthink it, don’t over-promote it, don’t over-hotshot it. My dad used to use the term — you don’t need to spice it up. Just let the story play. Two veterans, a tag team of one generation facing the tag team of the next generation — it’s there. When you get a chance to face the guys you literally grew up watching on TV, and you’re going to have a highly competitive match in a stadium, it’s special.”
On Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay, teased by the post-match angle:
“Veteran versus hometown boy. It’s not as big a generation gap as Cage and Cope and the Bucks, but it is somewhat a handing off of the baton. Omega’s style of wrestling really came into prominence — you can look at the handoff through the years, AJ Styles and then Omega. Omega and Will, to me, that’s going to be the passing of the baton. But the big deal is, I’m not sure Omega’s ready to hand off that baton just yet.”
