 World Heavyweight Champion Gunther Attacked Jey UsoThe Nashville crowd was just as loud for Uso's entrance as the crowds were for Raw and SmackDown last week. I loved the shot of Uso celebrating on the commentary table when Gunther attacked him out of nowhere. Uso announcing that he'll challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 confirms that the men's Elimination Chamber will be for a Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity at 'Mania. This was a quality angle and I'm glad they're not wasting any time making that match official. Hopefully they can keep this feud interesting for the next two-plus months.

 Alex Kane Confronted Eric BischoffI honestly don't mind Bischoff as much as most these days (especially if he's used in small and effective doses), but he was all over that One-Shot event in December and it was terrible. I assume he brought up the Ted Turner Lifetime Achievement Award thing to get heat, but the last thing MLW needs is another heel authority figure. Cesar Duran is better in that role at this point and even he hasn't been utilized well in a while. At the very least, his ultimatum for Kane was a fine hook for the main event.
 AEW World Champion Jon Moxley Addressed CopeI was excited for the promos Moxley would cut when he went heel a few months ago because I've always felt he's more of a natural heel, but most of his mic work since the heel turn has been cryptic crap that hasn't amounted to anything. This was one of his more focused promos addressing Cope and next week's tag team match in Australia, though it was weird he barely brought up Jay White (who will be teaming with Cope).
 Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso Attacked Jacob Fatu and Tama TongaUso started the show almost exactly the same way he started Raw on Monday night. That's not a bad thing when you consider how over with the audience he is at the moment. He and Rhodes have history and they played off of that here, but I don't think a single soul actually thinks Uso will choose to challenge him at WrestleMania 41. Fatu and Tonga interrupting them set up the tag team main event for later on in the night.
 Jake Something Interrupted TNA World Champion Joe Hendry's ConcertHendry's concert was along the same lines as his other concerts, but it was entertaining enough and the crowd was hot for him as you'd expect. We also found out that his next challenger will be Something and the setup for that match was simple stuff. Obviously, this was taped before his awesome cameo in WWE's men's Royal Rumble match last weekend, but had it been taped after, I'm sure the crowd would've been even hotter for Hendry.
