Je'Von Evans def. Jasper TroyAs I've said before, I really like the idea of these two working together as it's the perfect program for both of them right now. As expected, they had great chemistry and excelled in their respective roles. My only complaint is that Evans won. I realize it wasn't decisive, but Troy already lost twice recently on NXT TV, so it's not as if he's been protected much. I'm sure the feud will continue, but they have to be careful with Troy's booking and have him start establishing credibility.

Jimmy Uso Saved LA Knight from Solo Sikoa, JC Mateo, Tonga Loa and Talla Tonga After Paul Heyman Interrupted KnightKnight's exchange with Heyman helped hype his Saturday Night's Main Event match with Seth Rollins and the rest of the segment set up the tag team match with him and Uso against Sikoa and Mateo for later in the night. This was fine, but I can't say I'm overly excited for Uso vs. Sikoa at Saturday Night's Main Event. I'm even less excited about Knight being involved with the knockoff Bloodline again, even if it's just for one night.
Zero Hour: Blake Christian def. Jay LethalAs someone who has been a part of plenty of Supercard of Honor shows, it was weird seeing Lethal involved in a random match on the pre-show for this installment. Not only that, but he also tapped out to Christian, who can't win a match to save his life on AEW TV. I understand the intent was to elevate Christian with the win, but it was just odd. I guess Lethal isn't that guy anymore and hasn't been for a while. On the bright side, these two had a really nice match together.
TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions The Elegance Brand (Ash and Heather by Elegance) def. Harley Hudson and Myla Grace (Non-Title)With it already being announced that The Elegance Brand will be defending the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship against The IInspiration at Slammiversary, this felt like a foregone conclusion, but it was a decent match for what it was. Why not build up the newcomers with a few more wins before facing the champs in non-title action? Hopefully they get more character development and aren't exclusively relegated to enhancement status.
Paragon (AEW TNT Champion Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong) def. The Don Callis Family (RPG Vice and Kyle Fletcher)With Cole and Fletcher facing off again for the AEW TNT Championship at All In, this was designed to be a preview of that, and it was a nice match. No, it wasn't drastically different than any other six-man tag team match AEW has done recently, but I enjoyed it, nonetheless. Cole winning for his team makes me even more confident that Fletcher is taking that title on Saturday as he should.
