Amale def. Xia BrooksideBoth women have been in the midst of character changes in recent months and I've been impressed by them in their new roles. The match itself wasn't anything worth writing home about, but it was decent enough and they had solid showings. Brookside needs wins, but it was more important for Amale to pick up the victory to establish her credibility, especially if she's headed for a rematch with Jinny at some point.

Veer Mahaan def. Apollo CrewsThis was a rematch from last week's show, though the biggest difference is that Mahaan was a straight-up babyface this time. Maybe he was doing this last week and I just failed to notice, but he came down to the ring smiling and shaking the hands of fans. He seemed to get a decent reaction from the audience in attendance (unless that was solely piped-in crowd noise), so I wouldn't be against him being brought to Raw in that role (assuming he ever actually debuts). The match itself was decent and competitive with Commander Azeez attempting to interfere a few times only for Mahaan to win, anyway. At this point, WWE may as well save Mahaan until after WrestleMania 38 because my guess is he'll get lost in the shuffle if he debuts before then.
reDRagon Won a Tag Team Battle Royal to Advance to the AEW World Tag Team Championship Three-Way Match at RevolutionThe first half or so of this was pretty standard for a Battle Royal. I appreciated that there was so much star power involved from the tag team division, but it didn't get exciting until the final stretch when it came down to Santana, Kyle O'Reilly, Matt Jackson and John Silver. The interactions between reDRagon and The Young Bucks were the highlights of the match and O'Reilly throwing out Jackson to win further teases tension between the teams. The post-match angle with Adam Page going after reDRagon and Cole coming to their aid was excellent. Page is finally starting to feel like a focal point of the show. Also, I'm invested in this story they're telling with Young Bucks, reDRagon and Cole. I'm looking forward to Kenny Omega returning soon so he can factor into it as well.
