The Rock Confronted Cody RhodesRhodes' promo was nothing of note as he was basically having fun with the Chicago crowd until Rock showed up. And it was an unannounced appearance, so the place came unglued. What a reaction. I love how he milked it for as long as possible before leaving without saying anything into the mic. He did mutter something to Rhodes (which would lead to what we got at the end of the show). This was perfectly executed.

Tavion Heights def. Saquon ShugarsThis marked Shugars' first match on Level Up. He had a pretty impressive performance and putting him there with someone who also has a collegiate wrestling background in Heights was smart. He also seems to have a presence about him, so if he can continue to hone his skills, he'll be one to watch in due time. The key is ensuring he doesn't disappear after this. This was a nice match from him and Heights.
Santos Escobar def. Rey MysterioThis was the match I was hoping would be saved for WrestleMania 40, and considering we got an actual finish, it's pretty clear we're not getting it again there. Instead, it looks like they're setting up some sort of a tag match with Escobar and Dominik Mysterio (who cost his father the win here) against Rey and possibly Andrade. The matchup between Escobar and Mysterio was very good and a hot way to kick off the night despite getting off to a slightly rough start.
Jake Something def. Jason Hotch, Leon Slater, Chris Bey, Alan Angels and Kevin Knight in a TNA X-Division Championship No. 1 Contender's Scramble MatchThis was referred to as a Rebellion Referendum, as organized by Mustafa Ali. It served as a nice showcase for the X-Division with it being all action as you'd expect. It didn't last very long, so not everyone had a chance to do much, but it was fun for what it was. Something winning was a slight surprise but not completely shocking. He was receiving a steady singles push for a while before losing to Frankie Kazarian a few weeks back, so this helped get him get back on track.
