Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes def. GuntherThis was along the lines of their original encounter from Crown Jewel two years ago in that I thought it was great. It was well wrestled throughout and the crowd was into the action. Of course, my biggest nitpick was the finish, specifically the execution of it. I know what they were going for, but it came off terribly. I get protecting Gunther in defeat, but if they're going to extend the feud anyway, why not just have Gunther take the title here?

AEW World Trios Champions The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly) def. The Don Callis Family (RPG Vice and Lance Archer)I hope the AEW World Trios Championship continue to get defended regularly now that The Conglomeration have them. It's not like AEW has a shortage of stables. Granted, RPG Vice and Archer weren't legitimate threats to the titles in the slightest, but it was an enjoyable opener for what it was. This is probably the best spot for Cassidy, Strong and O'Reilly at this point.
Shotzi Blackheart def. Priscilla KellyIt's been so long since MLW ran shows regularly that I don't remember most of the storylines, but I do remember these two starting a feud and me liking it because of their history as partners in WWE NXT. It was smart to start the show with two familiar faces. This was a nice opener. Post-match, Blackheart called out MLW Women's World Featherweight Champion Shoko Nakajima, who she'd challenge later on in the show.
Kyle Davis Interviewed The Southern SixThis was a logical follow-up to Kerry Morton nearly costing Silas Mason the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship last week. We only heard from Mason and Alex Taylor, so I like that they're keeping viewers in suspense with Morton's explanation. It was a solid segment. The dissension within Southern Six feels like the top story in the NWA right now and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out.
WWE Women's Champion Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss Confronted Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab; Cargill def. BlissCargill got great heat from this crowd, and Ripley was super over when she came out. In fact, this crowd is responsible for making an otherwise standard segment more enjoyable because of their energy. It was nice to get a fresh match between Cargill and Bliss immediately afterward and I thought it was decent. The win obviously gives Cargill more of a momentum boost going into her WWE Women's Championship rematch with Ripley at Clash in Italy.
