Julius Creed def. JD McDonaghMcDonagh can get a great match out of just about anyone, and Creed has shown he has breakout singles potential eventually. Thus, it was no surprise these two had an enjoyable affair to open the show. They worked well together and Creed successfully proved he could hang with a star of McDonagh's caliber. WE found out afterward that it will be The Creed Brothers vs. Indus Sher in two weeks at New Year's Evil.

Angelico def. Dante CasanovaAngelico hasn't meant anything in ages, and although he apparently is a part of a new faction with Chaos Project called Spanish Announce Project, I don't see him being booked any better than he has been for the last three years. Truthfully, I'm shocked he's still on the roster while Jack Evans was let go. I feel bad saying that because he's a talented dude and there was nothing wrong with this match, but in the end, it was pretty pointless.
NWA Television Champion Jordan Clearwater def. MercurioAs I've mentioned before, Mercurio works well as a character, but none of his matches have stood out to be in a major way so far. This didn't change my mind at all, but it was solid. Clearwater, on the other hand, definitely has potential and is a good fit for the Television title at the moment. These Television title matches don't have a chance to be memorable due to the six-minute time limit, but they made the most of their time here.
Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir def. Leva Bates and KarizmaAEW is starting to put together a few different female teams, which makes me worried that we're headed for a women's tag team championship soon. The last thing AEW needs is another title and I don't have enough faith they'd be able to make it worthwhile. Rose and Shafir are a lame team, anyway. This was a standard showcase for them and I'm glad it was on the shorter side. Vickie Guerrero teasing tension with the two of them later on backstage was interesting, though.
NWA United States Tag Team Champions The Fixers def. Alex Caytal and Shepherd Lutz (Non-Title)When I think of NWA USA, The Fixers are the first people that come to mind at this point, so it was logical to have them in action on the Christmas episode. Caytal and Lutz weren't much of a threat at all and thus this was a total squash. Keeping it brief was a smart call. As much as I enjoy The Fixers, I feel like they've barely defended their tag titles since winning them (though I could be wrong). Maybe giving the tag team division another set of titles was unnecessary?
