 #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week's edition touches upon a variety of topics including:

 Elektra Lopez def. B-Fab in a No Disqualification MatchHit Row hyping up what was to come in the rest of the show before the bout was interesting. It's been rumored that Hit Row could be Raw bound soon, which scares me. I can't shake the feeling Vince McMahon would have no idea what to do with them before breaking them up within a matter of months. As for the match itself, it was pretty rough at certain points because both women are still green, especially B-Fab. I appreciated that they did what they could with the stipulation (it was more "extreme" than what we got at Extreme Rules on Sunday), but it just wasn't very good. The key was furthering the feud between Hit Row and Legado del Fantasma, so at least it accomplished that.
 Thunder Rosa def. Nikita KnightIt was noted on commentary that Rosa is currently ranked at the top of the AEW Women's World Championship power rankings. Could that mean we'll be getting Rosa vs. Britt Baker for the title sooner rather than later? Personally, I'd hold off on that until 2022, but I trust AEW to do the right thing. She's super over and always does a nice job of helping elevate her unknown opponents like she did here. This was a well-worked opener.
 Nick Aldis Saved Tim Storm From Strictly BusinessStorm has a rich history with Strictly Business that dates back a few years, so it was no surprise that his interview with the faction (sans Aldis) went sideways quickly. I liked how Storm didn't back down and instead challenged them to a fight in the ring. Other interviews could take notes from Storm, though I don't expect May Valentine to square up to Kamille. Before they could jump him, Aldis made the save. I was half-expecting Aldis to turn on Storm, and while it didn't happen here, I feel it's inevitable to set up Aldis vs. Trevor Murdoch III.
 WWE Champion Big E vs. Bobby Lashley Ended in a No ContestThe six-man tag team match that opened Extreme Rules was what set this match up. I was skeptical of it starting the show, but it was ultimately the best decision they could have given how it ended. It was a hot match that the crowd was into and I'm all for action actually kicking off Raw. That should be commonplace, of course, but it just isn't and hasn't been for years. Here's hoping we're getting a Hurt Business reunion because it was stupid for WWE to break them up in the first place.
