Kassius Ohno def. LigeroOhno has been a fantastic fit for NXT UK since his debut on the brand last month, and it's cool to see him mix it up with wrestlers with different styles. Ligero was no different, as these two worked very well together and produced a very fun match to kick off the show. Ohno is so great as the bully heel, so he was the perfect foil for Ligero here. I wouldn't be surprised to see this feud continue considering Ohno won clean. NXT UK Women's Champion Toni Storm Addressed the AudienceIt was good to see Storm make an appearance during the Axxess tapings, even if she wasn't in action. Granted, she didn't really say anything of note during her promo, but she did address her recent victory over Jinny and how she's looking ahead to her future challengers. She and Kay Lee Ray had a brief face-off on the stage while she was walking to the back, so hopefully that bout isn't too far off.

#AskGSM Edition #282: Bray Wyatt's New Gimmick, 205 Live Revamping, "Avengers: Endgame", More4/24/2019 #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews 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:
Kenny King def. Tracy WilliamsKing is riding a wave of momentum coming off his Honor Rumble victory at G1 Supercard, though I believe this was taped beforehand. I didn't know too much at all about Williams when he first arrived in Ring of Honor, but it's clear he's an incredibly skilled competitor, and as expected, this was a very fun and well-wrestled match. King picked up the clean victory to continue his recent winning ways. The Bouncers def. Reno ScumI'm familiar with Reno Scum from their work in IMPACT this year as well as in 2017. Personally, I've never been impressed by them, and I wouldn't really care to see them make more appearances for ROH going forward. On the bright side, The Bouncers are getting over nicely as a babyface tag team and have become a lot of fun to watch. The duo earned yet another win here, so you have to assume a ROH World Tag Team Championship shot is in their future.
Humberto Carrillo def. Drew GulakI've been digging the storyline these two have had going in recent months as it reminds me a lot of the rivalry Ali had with Gulak back in 2017. This was a very well-wrestled match, which should come as no surprise seeing as how Carrillo is an exciting young performer and Gulak has a tendency to make anyone he shares the ring with look great. Gentleman Jack Gallagher teased going after Gulak eventually as well, so look for that matchup to happen sooner rather than later. Ariya Daivari def. Oney Lorcan in a WWE Cruiserweight Championship No. 1 Contender's MatchWith Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy now gone from 205 Live, Lorcan is going to have big shoes to fill as one of the best all-around wrestlers in the Cruiserweight division. Unfortunately, he's no miracle worker, and I don't think he was able to get an exciting bout outing of Daivari. I appreciate how strongly Daivari has been built up this year, but I personally could not care less about the dude and don't find him the least bit interesting. To their credit, this was a solid match, but Daivari does nothing for me as a challenger to the championship, even if it makes sense from a storyline standpoint right now.
