Delmi Exo def. B3CCAI'm not a fan of B3CCA's singing shtick, so I'm glad we didn't see too much of that here like we did in her debut. She's perfectly passable in the ring, so this was a nice little opener. Exo was already in line for an opportunity at the MLW World Women's Featherweight Championship, so it made sense for her to win this match. She'll get her shot against Taya Valkyrie on next week's episode.

Candice LeRae def. Xia LiLeRae got the video package treatment on last week's Raw and won her match last week as well. That would give me hope that she's in line for a singles push, but with Johnny Gargano also getting the video package treatment on Monday's Raw, that tells me it will be more about The Way collectively than it will be about each member individually. Better than nothing, I suppose. LeRae didn't get the strongest reaction during her entrance, but the crowd was behind her by the time this was over. This was decent. It marked Li's first match as a member of the Raw roster. I assume she'll continue to be utilized in an enhancement role like she was on SmackDown.
AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy def. Swerve StricklandThe streak of excellent Orange Cassidy openers/title defenses continues. This was top-notch stuff from these two. Cassidy feels like one of the hottest wrestlers in any promotion right now (that's bound to be a polarizing opinion, I know) and I'm happy Strickland got a chance to show what he can do. Strickland was my pick to win, so for as great of a reign as Cassidy has had, I was really hoping this would be where Strickland picked up some gold. Cassidy, Darby Allin, Sting and Keith Lee will face The Mogul Embassy next week.
