 Kickoff Show: WWE Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors def. Candice LeRae and Indi HartwellI have no idea why this wasn't advertised for the card prior to Thursday's press event, but I'm glad it got added at all with Hartwell being from Australia. Granted, there's no excuse for Bronson Reed, a fellow Aussie, being left off the show (update: he's since revealed his child was born early and he got to be home for that, so that worked out well), but I'm happy for Hartwell. You could clearly tell she was having a blast out there. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary about the match itself, but it was well worked and the outcome was expected.

 Penta El Zero Miedo, AAA Cruiserweight Champion Komander & "Bounty Hunter" Bryan Keith def. Matt Sydal & Private Party and Action Andretti & Top Flight in a Three-Way Trios MatchI know Top Flight and Private Party have exchanged wins in the last month, but everyone else's involvement in this felt random. Why do a three-way trios match? Don't get me wrong, it was a fun affair and the action was chaotic, but I don't know what purpose this was supposed to serve, especially with Penta's crew going over. Could they potentially be next in line for an opportunity at the AEW World Trios Champioship?
 Karmen Petrovic def. Brinley ReeceReece's cheesy enthusiasm automatically makes her annoying in my book, but it is an encouraging sign that she's been featured on NXT TV quite a bit already in segments with Edris Enofe and Malik Blade. Despite being green, she's certainly green and has potential. The same can be said for Petrovic, so I thought this was a nice match that exceeded my expectations. They made the most of the babyface vs. babyface dynamic.
 Tiffany Stratton def. Liv MorganThis stemmed from Stratton striking Morgan during that Raw segment on Monday. Morgan is fresh off returning from from injury and Stratton just made her main roster debut, so neither should've lost here, but Morgan is such a strong babyface that she'll have no issue bouncing back from this loss. Plus, this was a fun, well-worked opener, so Morgan hardly loses anything in defeat. I remain confident there's a chance we get Stratton vs. Bianca Belair at WrestleMana 40 based on the interactions they've had in the last month.
 Pre-Show: The Rascalz def. "Speedball" Mike Bailey and Trent SevenThis was a rematch from Final Resolution in December. Bailey and Seven won that encounter, so it was logical for The Rascalz to avenge the loss here. Steve Maclin interfering and aiding The Rascalz to victory protected the babyfaces in defeat and seemed to set up a six-man tag team match (also involving Nic Nemeth) for an upcoming edition of iMPACT!. This was the good match you'd expect from these two tandems.
