 CM Punk def. Max CasterThis match was totally random, but I really enjoyed it for as long as it lasted. If Caster is going to be doing his own thing for the time being, I'm all for him getting more singles opportunities against notable names like Punk. This was worth it for his pre-match rap alone. It's clear Punk is racking up wins ahead of an eventful opportunity at the AEW World Championship, which I would save for Double or Nothing.

 Imperium (Gunther and NXT Tag Team Champions Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner) def. LA Knight and MSKThis was a nice preview of what to expect at Stand & Deliver when Gunther faces MSK while MSK (along with The Creed Brothers) challenge Imperium for the NXT Tag Team Championship. It was all action and fast-paced. I'm fine with keeping Imperium strong, but I do question booking Knight to lose multiple times leading up to Stand and Deliver. He came up short against Grayson Waller twice, then Dolph Ziggler, and now Imperium. He's probably not winning on Saturday, either, so it's pretty clear he's on his way up to the main roster imminently.
 The Factory (Aaron Solo, QT Marshall and Nick Comoroto) def. Invictus Khash, Adam Priest and Gus De La VegaKicking off any show with The Factory is never a smart move. As I've said before, they're perfectly passable in the ring, but it's been a dead act since they were made to look like losers against Paul Wight last year. They took turns beating up their opponents, and that's pretty much all I can say because there was nothing else remotely interesting about it. Also, Solo using the Pedigree as a finisher is still so stupid.
 NWA World Women's Champion Kamille def. Madi (Non-Title)Kyle Davis made it a point to announce Madi as "just Madi" and not Madi Wrenkowski. I have no idea why, but that's apparently her new gimmick. She had a really impressive outing against Melina several weeks ago and it's cool she had the chance to face off with the champ here. It had an odd dynamic with Kamille having to fight from underneath despite the significant size difference, but Madi had a solid showing nonetheless and I was pleasantly surprised she scored as much offense as she did. Are they turning Kamille babyface?
 WWE Champion Brock Lesnar Addressed Universal Champion Roman ReignsAs Lesnar's likely last promo before his championship clash with Reigns at WrestleMania 38, I didn't feel this hit the note it needed to. I've been thoroughly entertained by Cowboy Brock and it was cool seeing him in such a jovial mood here, but his promo felt off. Either he forgot his lines or was going off the cuff because this was all over the place. The crowd was into him, but this wasn't Lesnar's best work in the buildup to his bout with Reigns.
