Finn Balor def. Trent SevenWhen Balor attempted to ambush Johnny Gargano backstage at Worlds Collide, Moustache Mountain made the save, leading to this match. Balor's newfound aggression has been a breath of fresh air as far as his matches go and Seven was his usual excellent self. It was a very hard-hitting affair and Balor went over he should have. The outcome was never in doubt, but I enjoyed this for what it was. Shotzi Blackheart def. Deonna PurrazzoBlackheart eliminated Purrazzo from the Battle Royal two weeks ago and Purrazzo vowed revenge by attacking her backstage following last week's episode. Blackheart has a ton of potential and has boatloads of charisma, but she's a work in progress in the ring. Purrazzo is the better wrestler of the two, but she doesn't stand out nearly as much. This was a decent match that gave Blackheart a nice momentum-boosting victory.

#AskGSM Edition #322: Edge Returns, Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley, Santina Marella, More1/29/2020 #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week’s edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
Vincent and Bateman def. Michael Stevens and Sal RinauroThe commentators mentioned Rinauro is a former ROH World Tag Team Champion (which I had no idea about), but I know him better from his recent run in the NWA, specifically on Powerrr. He and Stevens were fed to the new team of Vincent and Bateman. I wasn't interested in the act at all when it started soon after Final Battle, but I liked what I saw from them here. Granted, their matches aren't anything worth writing home about, but their character work has been pretty good so far. We'll see where it goes, but if nothing else, it's nice to see Vincent doing his own thing and making a name for himself post-Kingdom. Bandido, Flamita and Rey Horus def. Villain Enterprises to Win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship(From my Saturday Night at Center Stage review...) I might be mistaken, but I believe Bandido, Flamita and Horus were already teaming elsewhere before they brought their team to ROH, as I've seen them referred to as Mexa Squad in various places online. I didn't hear them referenced to as such by the ROH commentators, but maybe in time they will be. Regardless, this was a super strong six-man tag team match and easily the best thing on the entire show. The ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship feel like a complete afterthought, but props to the two trios for making it feel important in this outing and the hot crowd helped with that. It should be noted that Flip Gordon filled in for PCO here which is why they were able to defend the six-man titles. It was definitely the right time to pull the trigger on a title change.
Hijo del Vikingo def. Impact World Tag Team Champion Josh AlexanderI don't think Alexander gets enough credit for being one of IMPACT's most consistent performers, both in singles and tag team action. He can always be counted on for a quality contest and this was no exception. I'm too familiar with Vikingo at all, but he had a strong showing here as well and the two of them produced a very entertaining opener. I'm curious if Vikingo's win means he'll soon be challenging for the Impact World Tag Team Championship with a partner of his choosing on one of these shows emanating from Mexico. The Rascalz def. Pagano and Murder ClownSimilar to Alexander, The Rascalz are almost incapable of having a bad match, regardless of who their opponents are. Pagano and Murder Clown held their own and it was a fun little matchup on the whole despite not lasting long. The crowd enjoyed it and I'm all for The Rascalz winning more matches, but I'm ready for them to stop spinning their wheels and either re-enter the tag title picture or have a meaningful program with another team in the division.
