#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:

Tasha Steelz def. NevaehThis feud between the duo of Steelz and Kiera Hogan and the team of Nevaeh and Havoc started last week with Steelz and Hogan sat in on Nevaeh's match against Kimber Lee. I'm not sure who viewers are supposed to want to see win because everyone involved comes across like a heel. This was a well-wrestled opener and it's nice to have some new blood in the burgeoning Knockouts division, but I'm curious what the endgame here is. Deonna Purrazzo def. Alisha EdwardsIt's been a while since we last saw Alisha in action on IMPACT! Wrestling. She's talented, but she hasn't had many (if any) must-see matches since she started wrestling for the company and it's probably for the best that she's slotted at the enhancement level for now. This was a decent showcase for Purrazzo and I'm glad she was on offense for almost all of it. I've always enjoyed her work, but I hope she lives to the hype and doesn't disappoint like Tenille Dashwood did when she was brought in a year ago. Jordynne Grace attempted to get her hands on Purrazzo afterward, but Purrazzo ran off before she could.
Brian Cage def. Robert AnthonyAnthony has a history with Jon Moxley and recently called out Cage on Twitter for going after his longtime friend/foe. I'm glad we got a match with actual storyline significance and, better yet, that it was over in under a minute. This is exactly how Cage should be booked, though it is odd that it took Jon Moxley as long as it did to beat Anthony earlier this month. Either way, AEW is handling Cage the right way heading into his AEW World Championship clash with Moxley at Fyter Fest. SCU (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) def. Musa and David AliIt looks like Daniels and Kazarian will be the main tag team in SCU going forward while Sky branches out into singles competition. I'm surprised they didn't do that from the get-go, just because Sky has more to offer at this stage of his career than Daniels and Kazarian (who have always been a terrific team). This was a fun little squash that didn't overstay its welcome.
Bianca Belair def. Ruby RiottThese two have already worked together a handful of times on Main Event, and while they have great chemistry, it's starting to feel like the never-ending Dana Brooke vs. Sarah Logan rivalry from last year (albeit more entertaining). It would mean more if Belair was winning these matches on Raw where people more people could see them. Riott actually resurfaced on Raw this past week and teasing getting the band back together with Liv Morgan (sans Sarah Logan, of course), so it looks like she may be landing a regular role on the show before Belair despite her lengthy losing streak. Murphy and Austin Theory def. Cedric Alexander and RicochetRaw's tag team division needs as much help as it can get at the moment, so why the hell would WWE relegate this match to Main Event instead of airing it on Raw? It was great stuff and an absolute blast from start to finish. Ricochet and Alexander have been underutilized so far, whereas Murphy and Theory work wonderfully as partners. This was a good win for the heels and I'd love for there to be a rematch eventually on Raw.
