The Golden Elite's Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page, The Young Bucks and the debuting Kota Ibushi sought to settle their differences with The Blackpool Combat Club's Jon Moxley, Ring of Honor World champion Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Konosuke Takeshita and "The Bastard" Pac in Blood & Guts.

There are going to be plenty of opinions about the match that unfolded inside the two-ring, two-cage setting.

Fans of The Golden Elite and all of the history within that particular faction will likely love it because it highlighted that group. It was yet another chapter in their story and nothing that can be said or argued is going to change their opinion of the "epic" that unfolded in Boston.

Other fans who appreciate the gritty, violent deathmatch style of wrestling will appreciate the blood, nails, glass, thumbtacks, tables, and chain that helped define this match.

In between the violence-fueled spots, there was not much to sink one's teeth into. The Omega-Castagnoli stuff early was a nice tease for a match that would be far better than what this was after it descended into chaos. From there, it was a collection of can-you-top-this violence that escalated to the point that a competitor being choked out by a steel chain seemed like a downright mild finish in comparison.

Yes, the match was called Blood & Guts and complaining about the violent content would seem silly. When it proceeds an uber-violent Anarchy in the Arena match from Double or Nothing, it is excessive.

Too much of something fails to leave the impression that one hopes for. After all, we had an exploding sneaker in their previous pay-per-view encounter, a spot that is more creative and memorable than anything we got here.

There will be an overabundance of stars assigned to this match and dialogue about its greatness, and that is fine. Every fan is entitled to their opinion and preferences. Hopefully, though, this is the conclusion of the program because there is nowhere else to go with these two teams.

With that said, Pac walking out on the heels and Callis and Takeshita abandoning ship made for interesting developments. While the latter two are unlikely to suffer any recourse, The Bastard vs. Moxley and/or Castagnoli should be a ton of fun.

B, mostly because it lived up to the name of the match, if nothing else

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Before the main event, Renee Paquette caught up with Darby Allin, Nick Wayne, Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander and Best Friends. The takeaways included the announcement of Royal Rampage this Friday and Allin asking Cassidy to defend the International Championship against his friend, AR Fox. Freshly Squeezed agreed.
• Omega and Castagnoli, arguably the two greatest workhorses in the match, kicked things off for their respective teams; a great choice to set the tone for the contest.
• Moxley introduced a fork, an ode to fellow pro wrestling sadist Abdullah the Butcher. Moments later, there was glass. And a bed of nails. "What the hell are we doing?!" Schiavone exclaimed on commentary. 
• Ibushi avenged Omega, driving Moxley into the aforementioned bed of nails to really drive home the violence of it all and, probably, to justify putting the thing together in the first place.
• Excalibur did a read for Discovery and the Red Cross' Shark Week blood donation promotion. During Blood & Guts. It popped Schiavone, Taz and even drew the approval of Don Callis. Arguably the best part of the ordeal to that point.
• Hanging from the ceiling of the cage, Pac dropped down and delivered a double stomp to Matt Jackson, driving him through a table. 
• "Fight forever!" the fans in Boston chanted.
• Dissension reigned within the BCC as Pac flipped off his partners and walked out on the match. From there, Callis pulled Takeshita out of the match to avoid him enduring any further punishment. 
• The Golden Elite choked out Wheeler with a steel chain while a handcuffed Moxley had no choice but to watch.
