World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso and Sami Zayn Saved from CM Punk from Seth Rollins and Bron Breakker

This was Punk's first promo since WrestleMania 41 and I appreciated that he acknowledged how he was betrayed by Paul Heyman once before. He and Rollins had a solid exchange on the mic, but it wasn't much different than what we've heard from them before. The subsequent brawl was was well done and set up Punk and Zayn vs. Rollins and Breakker for Saturday Night's Main Event.

MLW World Tag Team Champions Los Depredadores def. Dark Panther and Blue Panther Jr.

Magnus and Rugido (Los Depredadores) won the MLW World Tag Team Champion from COZYMAX at a CMLL vs. MLW event in Mexico last week, which they aired footage of before this bout. COZYMAX were treating those titles like paperweights, so I have no issue with giving the belts to two CMLL guys. Plus, this was better than any other tag title match I've seen in MLW in a long time. It was an enjoyable opener, though Los Depredadores cheating to retain wasn't clearly caught on camera (I'm still confused where exactly the low blow happened but that might've just been me). The post-match angle set up a rematch in Mexico.

United States Champion Jacob Fatu def. LA Knight, Drew McIntyre and Damian Priest in a Fatal 4-Way Match

Although the Fatal 4-Way we got for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 was better, this was still fun for what it was. It had a nice pace and the crowd was into the action from start to finish. The stuff with McIntyre and Priest was well done and obviously indicates their feud isn't finished yet. I assumed Fatu would retain, but I didn't think it'd be after an assist from the debuting Jeff Cobb, who has been rumored to be joining WWE for the past two months. That was an awesome moment and I'm excited to see what he'll do in WWE as part of this storyline with Fatu and Solo Sikoa.

LA Knight and Damian Priest def. Solo Sikoa and United States Champion Jacob Fatu

The booking of the United States Championship picture since WrestleMania 41 has been rather basic, but I say that as a good thing. It's been easy to follow and everyone has played their roles well. This was a solid opener that simultaneously served as a preview of the Fatal 4-Way for the U.S. title at Backlash. Sikoa eating the pinfall was logical since he won't be involved in said four-way. Drew McIntyre was absent last week, so I liked how he returned afterward to lay out Fatu.

Atlantis Jr. def. Jay Lethal

With this episode emanating from Lethal's home state of New Jersey, I automatically assumed Lethal would win here. Apparently not. Atlantis is a bright star from CMLL's roster (from what I can gather as someone who isn't familiar with their product beyond what I see on AEW/ROH TV), so the commentary team treated his victory over Lethal as a big deal (though I do question what beating Lethal even means these days). It was a well-wrestled opener to boot.
