The Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds and Preston "10" Vance) def. Fodder, JR Miller and Brandon ScottVance needed something to erase the memory of last week's awful match on Dark against that joke of a wrestler Leroy Patterson. If you haven't seen it, don't go out of your way to watch it unless you want to be embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. This served as a solid showcase for three of the Dark Order guys. Thankfully, they won, unlike the other three who wrestled later in the show. This was short, sweet, and exactly what it needed to be.

ROH Women's World Champion Rok-C def. HolideadPersonally, I've never been blown away by any Holidead match I've seen, but she's competent enough and I thought she had a solid showing here. It was definitely better than the match she had against Willow Nightingale on a recent episode of MLW Fusion: ALPHA, which was riddled with interference. Rok-C had to fight from underneath and in the end she was barely able to pull out the victory and retain the title. This was a nice match to end this era of Ring of Honor's women's division ahead of the hiatus. I'm really looking forward to Rok-C popping up in IMPACT and MLW in the new year.
Kevin Owens Interrupted EdgeMike Rome announced as the show started that several Superstars were unable to appear due to COVID reasons, though he didn't specify who exactly (more on that at the end of this review). Rome wasn't even finished making the announcement when Edge's music hit and the crowd exploded. That's saying something considering the building was half empty and they weren't very lively throughout the night. Edge wasn't advertised and was only rumored to appear earlier in the day, so the fact he flew in at the last minute was really cool.
Jungle Boy def. Isiah KassidyThis was a good, well-wrestled match, but it came completely out of nowhere, especially when you consider that Jurassic Express are currently chasing the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Jungle Boy isn't doing anything on his own at the moment, but I guess I can't complain about seeing him get the singles spotlight for a change. Private Party and the entire H.F.O. for that matter have been total afterthoughts for a while now, so this just seemed to exist to get the babyfaces on the show, even though I enjoyed this for what it was.
