 The Dogs (Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors and David Finlay) def. JetSpeed and Mistico to Win the AEW World Trios ChampionshipThe Dogs aren't exactly off to a strong start in AEW, so I was shocked when they won the Trios titles here. I'm not at all against it, but JetSpeed and Mistico just captured the belts at Revolution and barely had a run with them. Oh well. The match itself was very entertaining and served as an exciting opener. Here's hoping the booking of The Dogs improves now that they're champs, assuming they win their match against Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and their partner at Dynasty.

 Top Flight def. MxM CollectionIt was the battle of directionless Ring of Honor tag teams. Top Flight are higher up on the totem pole than MxM Collection, but not by much. They had an acceptable outing, but this would've been better if we knew Top Flight were actually gunning for the ROH World Tag Team Championship, or the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship with Scorpio Sky. Otherwise, their matches are meaningless.
 RPG Vice def. TMDK (Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste)It seems like TMDK are here to stay in Ring of Honor's tag team division and, as I've said before, they're a welcome addition. Granted, it's not an encouraging sign that they lost to RPG Vice who are routinely positioned as enhancement talent on AEW TV, but I thought they had a good match. What's wild is that we get so many meaningless tag team matches on this show that rarely have anything to do with the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
 United Empire and Alex Windsor Attacked The Death RidersKicking off the show with a big brawl in the parking lot was refreshing. Granted, I had no idea who any of those guys were who helped out Will Ospreay at first until it was said that they're members of United Empire (I don't regularly follow New Japan Pro-Wrestling and thought the group disbanded years ago when Ospreay left), but it did set up the night's eight-man tag team main event. It was also cool seeing Ospreay link up with his wife Windsor on AEW TV for the first time (if I'm not mistaken).
 NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion "Thrillbilly" Silas Mason def. Bryan Idol in a No Limits MatchThe graphic called this as a No Limits match, it was announced as a No Disqualification Anything Goes match, and at one point a few weeks ago they were billing it as a Falls Count Anywhere match. All the stipulations are the same, so I suppose it didn't matter. At any rate, this was honestly underwhelming. What we got was good, but it was too short for what was supposed to a big time world championship clash.
