Rob Van Dam def. Komander, Isiah Kassidy and Lee Johnson in a High-Flying 420 Elimination Four-Way MatchHaving RVD in action on 4/20, despite him not being a regular on the roster, felt like a must. He also made the most sense to win here, especially with there not being anything at stake. This wasn't much different than the last four-way we got on Rampage a week or two ago, but the elimination stipulation made it stand out a bit more and it was fun for what it was, also serving as a comedown match following the chaotic Collision main event. Yuka Sakazaki def. Emi SakuraThis was quite the random match to do on a pay-per-view weekend. Sakazaki recently beat Trish Adora on Collision, so I assume she's being built up for something. Meanwhile, I couldn't tell you the last time Sakura competed on AEW TV. I would have held off until next week because it felt out of place on this show. This was decent for the time it was allotted and didn't overstay its welcome. Kyle O'Reilly, Rocky Romero and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard def. The Undisputed Kingdom (AEW International Champion Roderick Strong and ROH World Tag Team Champions Matt Taven and Mike Bennett)I don't think it was wise to headline this show with a six-man tag team match when Collision was headlined by a six-man tag team match right beforehand, but it didn't make much of a difference because this was a treat, too. It was well wrestled and O'Reilly picking up the win for his team gives him a momentum boost before he challenges Strong for the AEW International Championship at Dynasty. Overall ShowFootage also aired of Ruby Soho telling Angelo Parker that she's pregnant and apparently that's legitimate. Congrats to the happy couple. The rest of the show wasn't anything worth writing home about. With Collision airing right beforehand and Dynasty being tomorrow night, this was a waste of an hour, but I wouldn't say it was bad necessarily. The crowd enjoyed themselves and the matches were serviceable. An adequate episode on the whole.
