 OTM def. Chase U (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson) in an All or Nothing MatchChase U would have had all of their debt paid off if they won here. Yes, that's a sentence I just typed. I suppose sillier stuff has been done in wrestling, but that doesn't make this storyline any less goofy. Chase U's loss means it isn't over yet, either. The match itself was fine. OTM still need more seasoning, but Chase and Hudson are two good, experienced people for them to be working with.

 The Slimeballs Won a Christmas Wish Battle RoyaleI believe the stipulation was that the winning team would get their "Christmas wish" granted, which was an opportunity at the NWA United States Tag Team Championship in the case of The Slimeballs. It was your average Battle Royal and I didn't care about most of the combatants, but the NWA doesn't do Battle Royales all that often if my memory serves me right, so it was fine and giving it stakes was a nice touch.
 Bryan Danielson vs. Claudio Castagnoli Ended in a Continental Classic Blue League Match Ended in a Time-Limit DrawI'm surprised AEW waited so long to have a Continental Classic match end in a time-limit draw, but I'm glad they did because it was the perfect finish for this bout. They had an excellent outing and I loved how they made every minute matter. Castagnoli could have easily lost since Danielson won the Blue League regardless, but what they went with instead was clever. They should absolutely revisit this eventually.
 AKIRA def. Alec Price, Nolo Kitano, Brett Ryan Gosselin, J Boujii and Love, Doug in a Scramble-6 MatchThey should have put a title shot at stake to make this match worthwhile, but it was fun for what it was and well paced. Doug and Gosselin got to further their feud and AKIRA winning allowed him to bounce back from his recent loss to Rickey Shane Page. Post-match, AKIRA addressed The Calling and brawled with Page, so hopefully this is building to him dethroning Page as MLW National Openweight Champion.
 AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy def. Rocky RomeroI could've sworn that we saw this match during Cassidy's original run as International champ, but maybe not. Either not, they worked well together as you'd expect and had an enjoyable opener despite the outcome never being in question. Cassidy isn't on the same hot streak that he was prior to All Out, but at least he's still delivering good matches whenever his gold is up for grabs.
