Bryan Danielson def. Katsuyori ShibataI'm all for AEW doing more storylines and not focusing so much on packing every single show with as much wrestling as possible, but this was an obvious exception. Danielson is basically crossing off every dream match of his right now and I'm glad this was one of them. They were given a ton of time and made the most of it by having a kickass match. What a return for Shibata, who took time off from television months ago to return home for a personal matter I believe.

Lola Vice def. Carlee BrightIt's interesting that Vice is back at the bottom of NXT's women's division after winning the NXT Women's Breakout Tournament and subsequently failing to capture the NXT Women's Championship. However, I'm not complaining as she wasn't ready to be a permanent player in the title picture yet. Getting more experience on Level Up will only help her cause. There wasn't much to this match, but it was perfectly fine for what it was.
The Rock Held a Rock ConcertFirst and foremost, the Hollywood Rock entrance theme back! I wasn't watching wrestling at that time, but that's pretty damn sweet he brought it back, along with the Rock Concert. Rock's really been embracing this heel turn and it's apparent he's having a blast with it. This was a strong segment between its entertainment value and the way he flipped the switch by getting serious toward the end. The only issue I've had with the Rock stuff is that it's been overshadowing the WrestleMania 40 Night 2 main event, but thankfully, the focus will be back on Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes next week when they face off.
Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta def. The Dark Order (John Silver and Evil Uno)It's amazing how much Cassidy has cooled off since his hot (first) run as AEW International Champion last year. He just feels like another dude on the roster at this point, especially when he teams with Beretta. This was a nice match, but I just can't bring myself to care about Dark Order at this point. It served as a small taste of what to expect in the upcoming AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament, if nothing else.
