Megan Bayne def. Anna JayIt's cool that Bayne got her original entrance theme from the independent scene back. I remember her using that when I first saw her in Northeast Wrestling a few years ago. Her against Jay has been a fine feud while she's away from the title picture. Their match was perfectly passable and it didn't need to last any longer than it did. Bayne winning decisively was the right call as well.

Tensions Rose Between Solo Sikoa and United States Champion Jacob Fatu Before LA Knight Attacked JC MateoAs was believed to be the case when it was reported that WWE had trademarked the name JC Mateo, that will be what Jeff Cobb will be known as going forward. I suppose it could be worse. Meanwhile, Sikoa and Fatu continued to tease tension. Hopefully their split isn't as drawn out as A-Town Down Under's. Knight going after Mateo was logical after Mateo playing a part in him failing to win the United States Championship at Backlash.
Victoria Crawford and Tessa Blanchard def. TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich and Nikkita Lyons by DisqualificationAlthough this was a logical match to do with Crawford and Slamovich set to clash for the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Under Siege, this is at least the third tag team match I can remember that Slamovich has lost as champion. It's becoming a lazy way to build toward her next title defense. Thankfully, she wasn't pinned here, but her getting intentionally disqualified was also lame. The matchup itself was decent albeit nothing out of the ordinary. On a side note, I'm genuinely shocked Lyons is still under WWE contract considering she's barely been around this year.
Wheeler Yuta def. Matt MakoIt's almost impossible for me to take Yuta seriously as a threat to any of the top stars in AEW these days, and it doesn't help when he has a competitive match with a nobody like Mako. To be fair, it was mentioned by the commentators that Mako is a former MMA fighter, but that was the only shred of credibility he had. This was fine, but it lasted longer than it needed to considering it should've have been a quick squash for Yuta.
"Hangman" Adam Page and Will Ospreay def. The Don Callis Family (Josh Alexander and Konosuke Takeshita)You put four wrestlers of this caliber in the ring together and you can't expect anything less than an awesome match. Unsurprisingly, this was exactly that. They got a ton of time and delivered some excellent action. Page and Ospreay nearly came to blows during the bout, but they still managed to pick up the victory. Ospreay did accidentally strike Page afterward, but it didn't escalate beyond that.
