Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo def. Tank LedgerI believe this was only the second match Ledger has had on Level Up, and while he's far from ready for TV, he definitely has a presence about him that should take him far in WWE if he can continue to develop his in-ring skills. Lorenzo has been around for a bit, so he was a good person for Ledger to work with. This was a fairly basic bout, but I thought Ledger held his own and had a competent showing.

Trey Miguel def. Alan Angels in an Impact X-Division Championship Tournament Quarterfinal MatchIt was cool to see Angels return to IMPACT after challenging Mike Bailey for the Impact X-Division Championship three months ago. He's a nice fit for the X-Division if he sticks around. Miguel feels like just another guy on the roster at this point despite having so much momentum at one point, so I'm glad he advanced in the tourney. This was a quality contest from two skilled athletes.
24/7 Champion Dana Brooke def. Kiana James (Non-Title)I'm convinced Triple H forgot Brooke was still on the roster and that's why the 24/7 Championship hasn't been deactivated yet. I mean, he's been running WWE Creative for three months now and it hasn't been featured on Raw once, so why is it still a thing? This was another open challenge from Brooke, and James might be the most random NXT name to appear on Main Event yet. She's far from ready for the main roster as she's incredibly inexperienced, so I'm not sure why she was even in this spot. To her credit, she did fine and the match wasn't as awful as I thought it would be, but James attacking Brooke afterward makes me worried a rematch is coming.
#AskGSMĀ EditionĀ #465: How Different Would WWE and the MCU Be If Triple H Was Cast as Thor?10/26/2022 #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:
Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) def. Jericho Appreciation Society (ROH World Champion Chris Jericho and ROH Pure Champion Daniel Garcia)It feels like a waste to have Garcia go back to being Jericho's lackey when he had so much momentum as a breakout babyface, but I understand there's a longer story at play and they want to keep the gimmick going of Jericho facing former ROH World Champions for a little longer, which is fine by me. Castagnoli has taken a bit of a backseat since losing the title last month, so I was happy to see him back in the spotlight here in what was an enjoyable opener. Him pinning Jericho should set him up for a rematch one of these days, possibly at Full Gear. I know Jericho is advertised to face a ROH World Champion next week, but if it was Castagnoli, I assume they would have just said that.
