Microman def. Real1This was more of an angle than an actual match. I didn't care much for this coming into this episode, but Microman is over with this audience and Real1 gets a ton of heat, so it was a logical match to do. Real1 spent most of the time talking and bullying Microman, only for Mance Warner to get involved and aid Microman to victory. The best thing I can say about it was that it was kept on the shorter side and didn't overstay its welcome.

Damage CTRL Interrupted Trish Stratus and WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita on Miz TV Hosted by The Miz; Lynch def. IYO SKYIt was refreshing to not have Miz interacting with Seth Rollins for one week. Instead, he hosted Miz TV with Stratus, Lita and Lynch, which merely served as a backdrop for their exchange with Damage CTRL. Bayley and Lynch did a majority of the talking. Lynch mentioning that Damage CTRL have done nothing since SummerSlam and that this rivalry needs to end was a shoot, brother. I'm convinced at this point that Damage CTRL will win at WrestleMania 39, possibly with an assist from a newly-turned Stratus. The subsequent Lynch vs. SKY match was very good and a reminder of what SKY is capable of. In a perfect world, Damage CTRL would lose at 'Mania and SKY would move into singles competition, but as noted, I'm not expecting that.
Ari Daivari and Tony Nese def. Lane Summers and Campbell MyersI have no idea why Daivari and Nese continue to team if they have their own teams/factions. Just merge the groups together or have them ditch their current partners. They work well together (because of their years of teaming in WWE), so that's no an issue. I just don't know what purpose these matches are supposed to serve. This was fine but was hardly the hottest opener for this episode.
AEW TNT Champion Powerhouse Hobbs def. Penta El Zero MiedoI wouldn't put this on the same level as Hobbs vs. Rey Fenix from last week's Rampage, but it was still a solid match to kick off the show. They worked well together and it was another nice showing for Hobbs as TNT champ. More of Penta in singles competition, please. The post-match angle seemed to indicate Hobbs has unfinished business with The Lucha Brothers, but I'm not sure why considering he has now beaten both of them.
