Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair, Asuka, Alexa Bliss, Mia Yim and Becky Lynch def. Rhea Ripley, Nikki Cross and Damage CTRL (Bayley and WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and IYO SKY) in a WarGames MatchThis followed the same formula as most WarGames matches we've seen in recent years (specifically the women's ones) where they rely a little too heavily on the weapons. A few chairs and tables here and there is fine, but when they start bringing ladders and kendo sticks into the mix, it gets a bit ridiculous. All in all, this was entertaining, though the crowd didn't really come alive until Lynch entered the fray at the end. I thought the heels had to win in order for Damage CTRL to salvage some of their credibility, but alas, they lost again. I'm not sure how Damage CTRL can possibly be taken seriously coming out of this.

Xyon Quinn def. Tank LedgerQuinn continues to spin his wheels on Level Up and I don't see that changing any time soon. As for Ledger, I'm loving his energy and believe he has a ton of potential if he can develop his skills some more. He once again had a solid showing for himself in this match before Quinn picked up the victory as he should have. They made the most of the time they had and worked a more hard-hitting style than we're typically used to seeing on this show.
Becky Lynch Returned as the Fifth Member of Bianca Belair’s WarGames TeamAlthough announcing ahead of time that Belair would reveal the fifth member of her WarGames team on this show was a nice hook, I'm not sure why this couldn't have happened on Raw considering SmackDown already got the Kevin Owens return last week. Either way, this was a strong segment and I liked how it was kept short and sweet. I was worried the fifth mystery woman on Belair's team would be underwhelming, but Lynch was a worthy surprise and she makes perfect sense considering it was Damage CTRL who injured her in storyline over the summer.
ROH/IWGP/AAA World Tag Team Champions FTR def. Top Flight (IWGP and AAA World Tag Team Championships Were Not Defended)The ROH World Tag Team Championship isn't defended often because Ring of Honor is still without a proper platform, but this was still a cool attraction for Rampage and both teams delivered. Their styles meshed exceptionally well and Top Flight looked good in defeat. I heard coming out of this show when it was taped on Wednesday that Dante Martin may have been hurt, but hopefully it was just a scare and nothing serious. That would be a third injury for Top Flight in under two years.
