AKIRA def. Alec Price, Nolo Kitano, Brett Ryan Gosselin, J Boujii and Love, Doug in a Scramble-6 MatchThey should have put a title shot at stake to make this match worthwhile, but it was fun for what it was and well paced. Doug and Gosselin got to further their feud and AKIRA winning allowed him to bounce back from his recent loss to Rickey Shane Page. Post-match, AKIRA addressed The Calling and brawled with Page, so hopefully this is building to him dethroning Page as MLW National Openweight Champion.

AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy def. Rocky RomeroI could've sworn that we saw this match during Cassidy's original run as International champ, but maybe not. Either not, they worked well together as you'd expect and had an enjoyable opener despite the outcome never being in question. Cassidy isn't on the same hot streak that he was prior to All Out, but at least he's still delivering good matches whenever his gold is up for grabs.
Axiom def. Damon KempDespite defeating Nathan Frazer on the Deadline Kickoff show, Axiom has zero direction at the moment, so him showing up on Level Up wasn't entirely unexpected. Kemp actually gets more television time than he does as part of Drew Gulak's group. Both of these guys are damn good and had a nice match here in the time they were allotted. It was a cool clash of styles and they had quality chemistry.
AJ Styles, LA Knight and Randy Orton Staked Their Claim at an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship OpportunityStyles was definitely giving off "lone wolf" 2013 vibes with what he was wearing and how he came across. I really hope that's the direction he's taking his character in because that would be such a breath of fresh air. All three of these guys cut pretty basic promos and made their case for why they should face Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble, leading to Nick Aldis announcing they will face off in a number one contender's Triple Threat match in two weeks on the New Year's Revolution edition of SmackDown. It was a solid segment to start the show.
