The Lucha Brothers def. Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus) in the Finals of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator TournmentI expected a total spot-fest from these teams and that's exactly what this was. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed it as that's their specialty and the non-stop action was fun to follow. It helped that it could have gone either way, but Jurassic Express were my pick to win because of their recent issues with The Young Bucks. Thus, I was definitely surprised Lucha Brothers won, and I'm not opposed to because of the roll they're on right now. This was all over the place, but it wasn't a mess of a match. Rather, it was the perfect kind of chaos.

Grayson Waller def. Andre ChaseThe more I see of Chase, the more he reminds me of Drew Gulak, just based on his appearance and how he wrestles. Unlike Gulak, however, WWE viewers know nothing about him and thus he still bores me to tears. That said, this was a quality contest. I don't know who the crowd was supposed to cheer for, but from an in-ring standpoint, this was very well-wrestled and they worked a nice pace.
Becky Lynch Addressed Her SmackDown Women's Championship VictoryLynch may not be a full-fledged heel yet, but we're definitely headed in that direction based on how she came across here. I'm still not sold on that, by the way. We know she can play a convincing heel after what happened in late 2018, but much like back then, the crowds are going to want to cheer her regardless of what she does. That's the problem. I understand if she wanted to turn heel, but I would have waited to pull that trigger until later on. I don't think it's the same situation as Roman Reigns from last year. At any rate, she cut a good promo that brought out most of the other women in the division (except for Toni Storm and I have no idea where the hell she's been). That set up the subsequent Fatal 4-Way and I liked the back-and-forth between Bianca Belair and Lynch.
Chris Sabin def. Sami CallihanSabin and Callihan have been interacting quite a bit lately between being partners and facing off in that four-way at Emergence, so it was cool to see them go one-on-one here and have an enjoyable opener. Sabin is great and Callihan can go as well. Callihan picking up the victory was definitely a shocker, but he should be protected more than Callihan if he's going to have a rubber match with Moose soon. Speaking of whom, he attacked Sabin afterward before Eddie Edwards made the save.
