Moose vs. Killer Kross in an Impact World Championship No. 1 Contender's Match Ended in a No ContestJohnny Impact opened the show to address his successful Impact World Championship defense from last week, only to be interrupted by Moose and Kross. So, he booked a No. 1 Contender's match between them. They took turns destroying each other here, so if wasn't already evident, the Moose-Kross alliance is officially over. Their match was cut short when Kross bated Impact into the ring and caused the contest to be thrown out. Brian Cage once again saved Impact afterward, so despite what happened at Uncaged, all four of these guys remain in the world title picture for now. The Rascalz def. Desi Hit SquadAs I've said time and time again, Desi Hit Squad do absolutely nothing for me, but at least they're somewhat tolerable whenever they're up against an exciting team such as The Rascalz. Unsurprisingly, The Rascalz were largely responsible for this being a quality contest and I was glad that they emerged victorious. They've been an excellent addition to the IMPACT tag team division these past few months and I'd love to see them vying for the tag titles sooner rather than later.

Aleister Black def. Roderick StrongBlack came to the aid of Ricochet against Undisputed Era last week, hence why this match happened. I'm surprised that these two hadn't gone one-on-one prior to this point, but it certainly lived up to the hype in being an exciting affair. The lack of interference from the rest of Undisputed Era was appreciated and they were given the time necessary to have the contest they were capable of. Ricochet saved Black from Undisputed Era afterward, so it appears their alliance is headed somewhere. Mia Yim def. Xia LiFans may remember Li from this year's women's Royal Rumble, where she had a nice little run for herself. She showed signs of potential then as well as in this match. Yim hasn't been featured much in the last few months, and while I'd love to think that this was designed to get her back on track, I assume Yim only won so it'll mean more when she faces Shayna Baszler next week (and loses). This was a decent matchup, though, as they worked a fun pace.
Gallus def. Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan WebsterAndrews and Webster are a lot of fun as a tandem, but it feels like they never win. I realize they're underdogs and can absorb a few losses, but they should be allowed to win every now and again. They had a very good opening match with Gallus and the in-ring action was entertaining. I could see Gallus entering the NXT UK Tag Team Championship picture now that Joe Coffey's WWE United Kingdom Championship pursuits are seemingly over. Trent Seven def. Shane ThorneIt's been cool to see Throne resurface recently following his recent appearances in the Worlds Collide tournament and on NXT TV. As I've said before, he's a terrific talent and has more to offer than some may believe. His tag team with Nick Miller was great, but he can be a real player on his own as well. He took Seven to his limit here and I was happy he had a solid showing in defeat.
