 The Young Bucks def. GOA to Advance to the AEW World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's Three-Way Tag Team Match on DynamiteI liked how this was set up by the Bucks fighting off GOA during Jack Perry's match with Ricochet on Wednesday's Dynamite. I'm glad GOA have gotten consistent exposure on AEW TV since forming The Demand with Ricochet, but they were never going to win here. Nonetheless, this was a good, well-worked opener. It will be the Bucks, The Rascalz and a "wild card" team in a three-way tag match on Dynamite next week to determine the next number one contenders to the tag titles.

 Cody Rhodes Attacked and Addressed Undisputed WWE Champion Drew McIntyreI was looking forward to hearing what McIntyre had to say in response to Roman Reigns and CM Punk from Monday's Raw, but Rhodes going after him before he could was logical considering McIntyre was responsible for Rhodes' Royal Rumble elimination. Rhodes cut an excellent, intense promo, but I really need this rivalry to be over so we can move on, even though I know they're probably locked in through WrestleMania 42.
 Kushida def. Templario to Win the MLW World Middleweight ChampionshipThis was as well-wrestled as you'd expect given who was involved. Other than with Mistico, MLW putting titles on CMLL talent hasn't made much of a difference, so I was happy with the outcome. Kushida's also a nice fit for the MLW World Middleweight Championship. In addition to the title change, Kushida joined Ikuro Kwon in attacking Templario afterward, so he's now a member of Contra Unit. I've never seen Kushida work as a heel before, so I'm curious how he'll fare in the role.
 Shane Taylor Promotions (Trish Adora and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Shane Taylor and The Infantry) def. Demo Diamond, Reiza Clarke, LVJ and Kari Jai WrightShane Taylor Promotions feel like the gatekeepers for Ring of Honor in a lot of ways, but they win a fair amount, so they were the right group of people to put in there with the Metroplex Wrestling stars. Mind you, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary about this, but it existed to give us a taste of what the MPX team can do, so it was effective from that standpoint, even though they weren't given a ton of time.
 The Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita, Josh Alexander and El Clon) def. The Death Riders (Daniel Garcia, Pac and AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley)As I've said before, I can't bring myself to care about this feud. Don Callis Family are fine, but Death Riders have never been interesting and I have no idea whether fans are supposed to be cheering them or not. I assume the answer is yes in this case, but then you have Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir acting like heels while working with Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm. It's confusing. Nonetheless, this was a well-wrestled opener. Takeshita winning for his team made sense before he challenges Moxley for the AEW Continental Championship at Grand Slam: Australia.
