The Dark Order (Stu Grayson and Evil Uno) def. Top FlightI feel like it isn't often that we get Grayson and Uno in action, which is weird seeing as how they're the best duo of anyone in Dark Order. Hell, they were AEW World Tag Team Championship contenders not too long ago, so I'm surprised they don't wrestle as regularly as the other members of the group. Nonetheless, this was a well-wrestled opener with Top Flight having a nice showing before eating defeat.

Drew McIntyre Attacked The Miz and John MorrisonI really, really hope McIntyre won't lose his main-event status despite no longer being WWE Champion. I hated what happened to Kofi Kingston after he dropped the title last year and thus McIntyre shouldn't suffer the same fate. He cut a pretty standard promo here addressing his defeat at the hands of Randy Orton at Hell in a Cell and Miz and Morrison also played their roles well. They did a decent job of setting up Miz vs. McIntyre for later in the night, but McIntyre getting the better of the two with ease at the end of this segment didn't do much to make them feel like threats.
ROH World Tag Team Champion Jonathan Gresham def. Josh "The Goods" Woods in an ROH Pure Championship Tournament Semifinal MatchI find Woods to be entertaining in his tag team with Silas Young, but he should have taken a more serious approach coming into this tournament. I'm happy he made it this far, though, and he had a very good match with Gresham here. I fully expected Gresham to win given it had been heavily teased from the start that he would be facing Jay Lethal in the finals, but the predictability surrounding the outcome didn't bother me and the action was enjoyable. I almost feel like it's a waste of Woods for him to go straight back to the comedy stuff after the run he had in this tourney.
Kickoff Show: 24/7 Champion R-Truth def. Drew GulakIt's crazy to think that Gulak took AJ Styles to the limit in a match for the Intercontinental Championship a few months ago on SmackDown. Now, he's been reduced to 24/7 Championship nonsense, which is exactly why I didn't want him to go to Raw in the Draft. The match itself was fine, but I couldn't bring myself to care about it whatsoever. Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik have suffered the same fate as Gulak in that they went from contending for actual gold on SmackDown to chasing the 24/7 Championship on Raw. Can we please throw the title in the trash already?
