 Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Jey Uso Went Face-to-FaceThis was a definite improvement over last week's "Rules of Engagement" segment. Reigns questioned why Jey would think he could beat him, only for Jey to tell him he pinned him at Money in the Bank and he'll do it again at SummerSlam. It was what it needed to be and effectively set the stage for the SummerSlam main event. On a side note, it was teased that "Tribal Combat" at SummerSlam will essentially be a No Disqualification match, but the commentators clarified it here.

 Impact Knockouts World Champion Trinity and Dani Luna def. The CovenI must have missed something because I have absolutely no idea why this match happened. Trinity and Luna have never been aligned to my knowledge and Trinity hasn't had an issue with The Coven in at least a month or two. Trinity cutting a promo about her title win would have been more effective. It was a well-worked opener, though. Deonna Purrazzo came out afterward to inform Trinity that she'll be invoking her rematch clause for the championship at Emergence.
 MLW World Tag Team Champion Rickey Shane Page def. Matthew JusticeI'd say it looks like we're headed toward Second Gear Crew challenging The Calling for the MLW World Tag Team Championship, but it was announced later in the episode that a member of Second Gear Crew will face Matt Cardona at Fury Road. Maybe the two remaining members can get the title shot? It may not matter because Justice lost here, so we'll see. I don't care for The Calling, but this was a solid opener. I don't believe this was billed as a Hardcore match, but there were weapons at ringside and they brought a ladder into the ring at the end.
 Josh Woods def. Eli Isom in a Pure Rules MatchI was wondering why Woods had a Pure Rules match on last week's episode, but then it made sense when he had another one on the Death Before Dishonor Zero Hour pre-show. Katsuyori Shitbata was ringside for this, and post-match, Shibata accepted Woods' challenge for an ROH Pure Championship match next week. I was surprised by how long this was because Isom hasn't been positioned as anyone important in the new Ring of Honor, but it was a well-worked match, nonetheless.
 Sanga def. Akira TozawaByron Saxton mentioned on commentary that Indus Sher haven't been in action a lot lately because teams are too afraid to step up to face them. No, it's because WWE doesn't have any plans for them beyond beating enhancement teams. I think they have potential as a monster heel team, but they need to start beating teams that are over with the audience. This was better than nothing, though. It was a solid squash with Tozawa selling nicely for Sanga's offense.
