 AEW TNT/ROH World Tag Team/ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion Dustin Rhodes Attacked Kyle FletcherThey really aren't wasting any time getting to Rhodes vs. Fletcher. I'm glad Rhodes had a chance to address becoming AEW TNT Champion at All In, but this reign doesn't necessarily need to be a long one. This was a good segment to start the show and to establish that the TNT title remains in Fletcher's crosshairs, ending with Rhodes getting the better of Fletcher (presumably this time only).

 Charlotte Flair def. WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Raquel RodriguezFlair and Alexa Bliss were announced as receiving a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam, and no, they didn't earn the opportunity with Flair beating Rodriguez by. Rather, Flair outright admitted it was because of she's who she is, which is what fans have been led to believe in the past. At any rate, this was a well-worked opener and the crowd reactions to Flair and Bliss as partners continue to be super positive.
 TNA X-Division Champion Moose def. Sami Callihan (Non-Title) In addition to Moose having a scheduled TNA X-Division Championship defense this Sunday at Slammiversary, Callihan has been directionless since his rivalry with Mance Warner ended a few months ago, so there was no reason to think he would win here. Honestly, I'm surprised this was basically booked like a squash for Moose, but I'm not complaining since the outcome was obvious, anyway. Moose humiliated Callihan on his way, which was weird if that doesn't eventually lead to anything.
 Atlantis Jr. def. Lee JohnsonIt's always weird whenever Atlantis Jr. gets booed by certain crowds yet cheered by others. I don't follow CMLL closely enough to know what the reason for that is, but hey, I like the dude. This was your usual match that didn't really matter, but it was well wrestled while it lasted. I'd say expect more matches like this with Forbidden Door coming up, but we actually see stuff like this all the time on ROH TV with Atlantis Jr. being a regular in recent months.
 AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page Addressed the AudienceI knew Page was advertised for a match coming into this episode, but I'm glad he was able to address his AEW World Championship victory from All In to start the show. He thanked everyone who attempted to take the title from Jon Moxley (like they were fallen soldiers) and played a part in the fall of The Death Riders. This was great stuff from Page and I'm happy he had his moment to celebrate instead of being immediately interrupted to set up a future program or title defense.
