SCU (Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian) def. Ray Rosas and RYZINShawn Spears sat in on commentary for this match. It was teased on last week's Tuesday night Dynamite that Spears could be headed for a clash with Sky soon as Sky came to the aid of Spears' opponent that night Matt Sydal. As for this match, it was a nice showcase for not only Sky but SCU on the whole before they challenge FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship on Wednesday's Dynamite. I'm glad Sky isn't completely separate from SCU after doing his own thing lately.

Randy Orton Interrupted WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Shawn Michaels, Big Show, Christian and Ric FlairIt would have been nice for all the legends to return at Clash of Champions, cost Orton the win and havethat be it, but WWE loves to milk things for everything they're worth. I was really hoping for the Orton vs. McIntyre rivalry to be over after Clash of Champions, but his threat to McIntyre here means it'll unfortunately continue. It makes sense to culminate inside Hell in a Cell, but Orton losing at three consecutive pay-per-views should put him in the back of the line.
Fred Yehi def. Silas Young in an ROH Pure Championship Tournament First-Round MatchYehi's pre-match vignette didn't do him many favors as he didn't really mention what stands out about him, but he was impressive during the match itself and him winning was a pleasant surprise. I was thinking about how Ring of Honor brought in several stars from the independent scene for this tourney, so I'm glad at least one of them won to show that anything can happen. As for Young, he's usually great with whatever he does and he helped make Yehi look credible.
Kickoff Show: SmackDown Tag Team Champions Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro def. The Lucha House Party (Kalisto and Lince Dorado)Every match these teams have had against each other up to this point has been well-wrestled, but I don't think there was any question regarding who was winning here. The focus was more so on the tension teased within The Lucha House Party lately. I expected that to factor into the finish somehow but surprisingly it didn't. SmackDown's tag team division is so depleted that I have no idea who's left for Nakamura and Cesaro to defend against on the SmackDown brand.
