Nyla Rose def. Tay Conti in an AEW World Women's Championship Eliminator Tournament First-Round MatchConti's Dynamite debut was actually against Rose back in September. Conti has come a long way since then, but this went pretty much the way I thought it would with Rose dominating a majority of the match. I'm glad Conti was able to score some offense and look good in defeat, but as a former AEW World Women's Champion, Rose advancing to the next round was a no-brainer. She'll face Britt Baker in the quarterfinals.

Kickoff Show: John Morrison def. Mustafa Ali, Ricochet and Elias in a Fatal 4-Way Match to Advance to the United States Championship MatchIt was announced earlier in the day that Keith Lee wouldn't be able to compete in the United States Championship Triple Threat because of "injuries" he sustained at the hands of Bobby Lashley a few weeks ago. I'm not sure of the actual reason why he had to miss the event, but I hope he's okay. This was a fun four-way, though I'm not sure why these were the guys selected to participate. Ricochet was my pick to win so you could replace one babyface with another, so Morrison picking up the victory instead was a bit of a surprise. Even more surprising was Ali taking the pinfall loss instead of Ricochet. I guess that tells you all you need to know about how WWE views Ali and the rest of RETRIBUTION.
Curt Stallion, Jake Atlas, Mansoor and Ashante "Thee" Adonis def. The Bollywood Boyz and Ever-RiseThis new alliance of The Bollywood Boyz and Ever-Rise hasn't had a lot of luck so far. This was the third week in a row that they've lost, but at least it was an entertaining affair against four very good babyfaces. 205 Live doesn't host multi-man matches very often, so this was a refreshing change of pace. I'm still stunned that Mansoor has yet to be given a shot at the NXT Cruiserweight Championship considering he's been undefeated for almost two years now. Why isn't that being talked about more?
Universal Champion Roman Reigns Interrupted Edge; Jey Uso Attacked Sami ZaynMuch like a few weeks ago, we got another glimpse at what we can expect heading into WrestleMania 37 if Edge ends up choosing to face Reigns for the Universal Championship. This was a strong back-and-forth from them. I have no idea what purpose Zayn was supposed to serve here, especially since he obviously isn't winning at Elimination Chamber, but his mic work was good. I'm so sold on Edge vs. Reigns and it isn't even official for WrestleMania yet.
