Mandy Leon def. Clara CarrerasLeon was a regular in Ring of Honor for many years up until the promotion closed its doors in late 2021 and she wasn't picked for the women's division when the brand was relaunched last year. I can't say I'm surprised because she's not very good. Now, she's a member of The Calling. Oh, joy. This served as a showcase for Leon, but it always looks like she's wrestling underwater. Please don't tell me she'll be the one to beat Delmi Exo the MLW World Women's Featherweight Championship.

La Faccion Ingobernable (Preston Vance and Dralistico) def. Mark Wheeler and Vikram PrasharI believe Rush is going to be inactive for a bit, so I'm all for Vance and Dralistico being built up as a threat in the tag team division in the meantime. They work well together but need to team more consistently. This was a pretty standard showcase for them to establish what they can do. It wasn't the most exciting way to start the show (I would've swapped this with The Righteous vs. The Dark Order), but it was what it needed to be.
Katana Chance def. EmmaChance and Kayden Carter typically team up and aren't often in singles competition, so this gave Chance, well, a chance to show what she can do on her own against an experienced talent. They had a nice little match and Chance's innovative offense is always a treat to watch, though not all of it looked entirely smooth (specifically her finisher). I remain puzzled why WWE doesn't do more with Emma or her heel pairing with Riddick Moss. They were on SmackDown for a while together but have barely been featured on WWE TV since moving to Raw.
Jon Moxley def. Tomohiro IshiiI was surprised Moxley didn't bleed during the 10-man tag team match at Forbidden Door, but he did make up for it here by getting color halfway through. I never saw their original encounter from a few years ago, but this was the hard-hitting, highly physical affair I'd expect from them. I appreciated that Ishii was made to look credible in defeat and was able to show non-NJPW fans what he's capable of.
