 Dexter Lumis def. NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano (Non-Title)Lumis and Gargano wrestle completely different styles, but that was actually made this match enjoyable. Lumis' shtick is unique (and not for everyone), but it meshes well with Gargano's heel comedy. They had an enjoyable opener and they nailed the psychology. I believe Lumis lost to Gargano a few months ago, so I figured he would win here to set him up for a future title shot and that was exactly what happened. That said, Lumis isn't the right guy to take the title off Gargano.

 Jon Moxley def. Ryan NemethDoes anyone have a good reason why AEW continues to bring in Nemeth for enhancement matches outside of the fact he's Dolph Ziggler's brother? Because he's beyond beyond and nothing about him stands out as special whatsoever. Thankfully, Moxley beat him in short order before cutting a promo on his upcoming Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch with Kenny Omega at Revolution. I'm still not sold on the stipulation, but Moxley's delivery here was excellent and he left me intrigued to see how far they'll go.
#AskGSM Edition #378: Will AEW's Women's Division Be Better Off Following the Eliminator Tournament?2/24/2021  #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:
 Jake Something def. Deaner in a Tables Match; Scott D'Amore Interrupted MooseI liked how IMPACT wasted no time in opening the show with one of their bigger matches of the night, and I never thought I would say that about a match between the former Deaners. In all seriousness, this was a decent opener. It lacked suspense at times and wasn't terribly exciting, but it had a good story and the effort was there. Violent By Design has gotten the better of Jake at almost every turn, so he was overdue for a win. It also set him up nicely to face Moose later in the night after Moose attacked him here. D'Amore made that matchup official instead of giving Moose the Impact World Championship opportunity he was demanding.
 FTW Champion Brian Cage def. John Skyler (Non-Title)Every time I see Cage in action, I'm reminded how worthless that FTW Championship belt he carries around is. It's a pointless prop and nothing more. As for Skyler, I'm familiar with him from the many appearances he's made for WWE and NXT over the years as a local athlete. He suffered a serious knee injury last summer but is finally back. Unfortunately for him, this was all about Cage, who squashed him in under a minute here.
