 The Kingdom def. Darius Martin and Action AndrettiBased on what we saw from them here, I'm fully in favor of Andretti being Darius' new tag partner while Dante is out injured. They work really well together and had good chemistry with The Kingdom. That said, The Kingdom are the established team and thus them winning was the right call. I expect they'll eventually challenge The Lucha Brothers for the ROH World Tag Team Championship and I'm looking forward to that.

 Nikki Cross def. NXT Women's Tag Team Champion Isla DawnThese two apparently have history that predates WWE (Dawn acknowledged it during her pre-match promo), so I'm sure they must have loved being out there with each other. I never cared for Dawn during her NXT UK tenure, but she's been a bit better since joining forces with Alba Fyre on NXT and winning the tag titles. There was nothing out of the ordinary about this match, but it was well wrestled, if nothing else.
 AEW World Champion MJF Informed Darby Allin, "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry and Sammy Guevara of an AEW World Championship No. 1 Contender's Four Pillars TournamentI've praised the mic work of Allin, Perry and Guevara over the last month as part of this "four pillars" feud, but I didn't think any of their promos in this segment were all that great. MJF trumped all three of them when he came out and proved how he's on another level in that department. He established that there will be a mini "four pillars" tournament with the winner getting a world title shot at Double or Nothing, except he won't be involved and Allin got a bye due to MJF picking his name out of a hat. I'm not a fan of this approach as I feel like a four-way is the natural route to take and what everyone wants to see after everything they've done since Revolution.
 #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:
 MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone and Second Gear Crew (Mance Warner, Matthew Justice and 1 Called Manders) vs. The Calling (Rickey Shane Page, Akira, Delirious and Doctor Cornwallis) in War Chamber MatchBefore WWE brought back WarGames in 2017 (and AEW with Blood and Guts in 2021), MLW was still doing it after WCW closed. I remember the last War Chamber match feeling like a big deal (especially with it marking the end of Contra), but the build to this was so rushed that it was hard to care about The Calling. Hell, most of the people in this match (even on the babyface team) aren't established yet in MLW, so it was a lot of brawling for the sake of brawling with no real substance. There were some wild spots, but the actual finish was flat because it was a basic DDT (maybe as a nod to The Calling's leader Raven?). The Calling would've been done with had they lost here, so them winning was logical.
