#AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews (and special guest Alexis!), 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:

NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov Called Out Carmelo HayesThis was the biggest thing being hyped up coming into this episode, so I was surprised to see this segment to start the show, but then it became clear this would only be a small preview of what we'd get from them later on in the night. It was similar to Hayes explaining his betrayal of Trick Williams a few weeks ago. They kept it short and sweet and established that Hayes wouldn't agree to step in the ring with Dragunov until Dragunov drew up a contract for a championship match between the two.
"Bulletproof" Blake Troop def. Joe Alonzo by Referee StoppageNo reason was given as to why this match happened, but it did mark the return of both men to NWA programming after not being featured for a few months. Troop's matches haven't been overly exciting, but I understand NWA wanting to build him up a bit because of his MMA background. I would've preferred to see Alonzo go over, but I thought this was good for the time it was allotted.
Becky Lynch Confronted The Judgment Day Before Being Attacked by Nia JaxWe've already seen Lynch and Rhea Ripley interact quite a bit this year, so this wasn't anything new from them, but it did set the stage nicely for their WrestleMania match that is now official. I'd actually like to see Lynch against Dominik Mysterio before then coming off their confrontation here, but WWE obviously doesn't do intergender stuff very often. Jax attacking Lynch was logical seeing as how their rivalry last month was never resolved.
Powerhouse Hobbs def. Sammy Guevara in a No Disqualification MatchAlthough I find nothing remotely interesting about Guevara's character at the moment, the guy can obviously go and he had a hell of a match with Hobbs here. Yes, AEW does Street Fights/No Disqualification matches way too much, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one and thought both guys excelled in the extreme environment. I'm glad Hobbs went over as well. He needs the aggressive push, so hopefully this isn't leading to Guevara avenging the loss.
