Roxanne Perez def. Indi HartwellHartwell has been teasing a heel turn for weeks now, so Perez was the clear babyface here. Some of Hartwell's last few matches haven't been the best, but I don't fully blame Hartwell for that because she hasn't been working with the most experienced women. However, Perez is obviously great and these two had terrific chemistry. Perez will be a part of the women's Iron Survivor Challenge match at Deadline, whereas Hartwell will have to earn her spot in a Wild Card Triple Threat match next week.

Becky Lynch and Damage CTRL BrawledLynch's return was one of the top takeaways from the weekend, so opening Raw with her made total sense. It also makes sense to have her feud with Damage CTRL since they put her on the shelf in storyline over the summer, not to mention it's a non-title feud and WWE needs more of those with the women. Damage CTRL have zero heat right now coming off their many losses, but the brawl in the arena concourse was well done. It's so great to have Lynch back to being a babyface for the first time in over a year since it's the role she's best in.
The Bunny def. Blair OnyxPenelope Ford is back to accompanying Bunny. They'll be losing tag team matches on Dynamite and Rampage in no time! I kid (but not really). I don't think I've seen a single memorable match from The Bunny in the near four years she's spent in AEW, so it was for the best that this was kept short and sweet. I'm not sure how much these wins mean for her if they're not amounting to anything, though.
Da Pope and JTG def. The Miserably Faithful (Gaagz The Gymp and Judais)Pope and JTG were on the same team on the Hard Times 3 pre-show, so them teaming wasn't completely random. They work well together, but what happened to JTG's team with Dirty Dango? Meanwhile, Miserably Faithful are terrible, so I'm glad the right team won here. I also appreciated that they largely kept the silly shenanigans to a minimum. They're telling a story with Gaagz taking another loss and the rest of Miserably Faithful being frustrated at him, but I wish the whole faction would disband.
