Luke Hawx def. Thrillbilly SilasThis marked Silas' NWA debut. I figured he'd go over since he felt like he was someone they'd start building up based on his presentation alone, but apparently not. Then again, I'm not bothered by Hawx winning instead since Hawx is great and worked with intensity after the events of Alwayz Ready and this past week's Powerrr. This was a decent match and Silas seemed to hold his own in there for as long as this lasted.

Andrade El Idolo def. Rey FenixThis was the all-out barn burner it had the potential to be on paper. I'm actually surprised we hadn't gotten it prior to this point, but the action was exciting and the crowd was hot for it. It's such a shame neither of these guys are going to be a part of Forbidden Door due to AAA/CMLL politics. Nonetheless, we finally got the AEW debut of Rush (in person) and it looks like we're headed for Andrade and Rush vs. The Lucha Brothers. That should be stupendous.
Quincy Elliott def. Bryson MontanaElliott has been a regular on 205 Live/Level Up over the last number of months and he's even appeared on NXT TV a time or two. He's a work in progress but is improving, which is a plus. Meanwhile, Montana looks like he could be a star and he had a solid enough showing, so this was a decent five-minute outing. Elliott winning was fine since he's been around for a while and needed a win eventually. Montana will probably need to pay his dues first before he starts racking up victories.
Adam Pearce Removed Drew McIntyre and Sheamus From the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder MatchMcIntyre and Sheamus fought to a double disqualification in a Money in the Bank qualifier two weeks ago, so I thought it was weird Pearce put them both in the match without having them fight in a rematch. Pearce reversed the decision and said they'd have to beat The Usos in the main event to earn their way back in. The whole thing was convoluted, but I suppose they had to kill time before the pay-per-view somehow and play into the idea that Roman Reigns is ducking McIntyre.
