Drew McIntyre def. Sami Zayn in a Steel Cage MatchThis show was immediately taped after last week's SmackDown, which was headlined by the Lumberjack match between McIntyre and Zayn. That would mean this crowd sat through two back-to-back Zayn vs. McIntyre matches, hence why the crowd noise sounded more piped-in than usual. This was a well-worked Steel Cage match with Zayn attempting to escape multiple times only to be thwarted by McIntyre. It told a simple story, but I'd be content not seeing these two have another match for a long time.

Heath and Rhino and The Briscoes Confronted Impact World Tag Team Champions Violent By Design; Briscoes def. Heath and Rhino in an Impact World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's MatchI don't think I've ever seen Rhino as fired up on the mic than he was during that opening segment. It made sense for him to be that intense given he was once a member of Violent By Design before they kicked him out last year. It makes all the sense in the world for him and Heath to eventually dethrone them as Impact World Tag Team Champions, but I would save that for Slammiversary at the earliest. In the meantime, it's cool that we're getting The Briscoes challenging for the tag titles at Under Siege. They had a fun match with Heath and Rhino and will are excellent addition to the IMPACT tag team ranks assuming they're here for the long haul.
Arez, Gino Medina and Mini Abismo Negro def. Aramis, KC Navarro and MicromanThe Microman stuff doesn't do much for me personally, but there's no doubt fans are into it, especially in Dallas. That was where he made his MLW debut to begin with. Much like his premiere appearance on this show a few months ago, this match lasted a little longer than it probably should have, but again, the crowd was invested in the action and it was fun while it lasted. That said, no one in particular seemed to stand out other than Microman.
Mark Andrews and Wild Boar def. Symbiosis (Primate and T-Bone)Andrews and Boar have known each other for a long time, so I probably should've expected that they'd work well together as partners. I liked that they wasted no time in taking the fight to Symbiosis. This was a nicely-paced opener and a good win for the babyfaces. They chased Eddie Dennis around afterward, so he clearly this feud won't be over until he gets his comeuppance. On a side note, I was wondering where Flash Morgan Webster is until discovering that he's currently injured.
