 Kelani Jordan def. Lola ViceJordan hasn't done a whole lot of winning since losing the NXT Women's North American Championship, so this was a necessary victory for her. She and Vice had a good match in the time they were allotted. Cora Jade inadvertently cost Vice the win and the three of them brawled afterward along with Stephanie Vaquer (who beat Jade on last week's episode). They'll all fight in a Fatal 4-Way next week for a future shot at the NXT Women's North American title.

 NWA World Tag Team Champions Knox and Murdoch def. Blunt Force TraumaAt the request of Aron Stevens, Eric Smalls was locked in a shark cage at ringside. As you'd expect, there were plenty of shenanigans down the stretch, including outside interference. Thankfully, Knox and Murdoch retained their titles, so that should the spell the end of this long-running rivalry, or at least I hope so. Most of Blunt Force Trauma's matches are plodding and boring, but honestly, this was decent. Perhaps all of the nonsense helped with that, even though I thought it'd have the opposite effect.
 Jey Uso Confronted The New Day and Was Attacked by Drew McIntyreUso was a logical person to confront New Day over their betrayal of Big E given his extensive history with them. It never got physical, but I can totally see Uso feuding with them once he's done with McIntyre. McIntyre's latest attack on Uso was basic yet well done as it put more heat on McIntyre. They're being kept busy with each other for the time being, but I'm curious what they do heading into WrestleMania season. The Bloodline interrupted Uso before McIntyre attacked him, so is Uso's future alongside the rest of O.G. Bloodline?
 Zero Hour: Toni Storm def. Leila GreyIt's possible Grey will start to get more in-ring opportunities now that Top Flight aren't with Lio Rush and Action Andretti anymore. She's improved from where she was a few years ago but is still several notches below the rest of the women's division in AEW. This was another extended showcase for Storm, who we found out a little later on will face Deonna Purrazzo on next week's Collision.
 Layla Diggs, Carlee Bright and Kendal Grey def. Lainey Reid, Wendy Choo and Kali ArmstrongI couldn't tell you the last six-woman tag team match we got on this show (if ever), so it was cool to get all of the Level Up regulars in one match for the finale. This was good stuff from all involved and I liked that Diggs finally gave Reid her comeuppance by pinning her for the win. I'm curious if we end up seeing any of these women soon on NXT TV (not counting Choo because she's obviously established) or if they'll remain on NXT's live event circuit for now.
