Josh "The Goods" Woods def. QT MarshallIt was a while ago so my memory might be a bit clouded, but I believe Marshall paid off Shane Taylor to attack Marshall not too long ago. I thought that turned Woods babyface, but there was no indication as to whether he was a babyface or a heel here. Nevertheless, this was a good match and an even more impressive outing from Woods. He seems to get better every time I see him in action, so with a steady push and more experience, he can be a star for Ring of Honor in time. Caprice Coleman Hosted Coleman's Pulpit with Mark BriscoeColeman's Pulpit is basically ROH's version of Miz TV, it's just not taped in front of a live audience. That said, it's a great platform for the wrestlers to further their storylines and receive some extended promo time, so I enjoyed this segment with Coleman and Briscoe. It's no secret that The Briscoes and Bully Ray have been teasing tension as of late, so this only added fuel to the fire.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore Addressed the Cruiserweight DivisionI'm still not in favor of Amore taking the title and basically becoming the new face of 205 Live (he sucks in the ring no matter what), but at least he's much more comfortable on the mic as a heel and this was a good promo from him. He rehashed what he said on Raw about being a bigger star than everyone else and that since the entire division attacked him after the show went off the air, none of them are allowed to contend for his championship. Surely, that should change somehow, but it will be interesting to see how WWE works around that. Akira Tozawa def. Tony NeseNese may have an impressive physique, but unfortunately, he's just another body on the 205 Live roster by this point. I watched most of this match and instead listened to the commentary because I knew what was going on in the ring wasn't going to be anything of note. Of course, I was right and it was a decent albeit forgettable match. Drew Gulak, on the other hand, is an entertaining heel with his PowerPoint presentations and stole this segment with his post-match promo.
Sami Zayn Confronted Kevin OwensOwens is awesome no matter what, but as I discussed in last week's SmackDown Live review, he is so much better when he's super straightforward and serious as he was here. It's well-documented that his dynamic with Zayn is incredible, so it wasn't surprising in the slightest that they had an enjoyable exchange on the mic here. It was probably Zayn's best promo since coming to SmackDown, and Owens played off him well. The build for their bout throughout the night was great with Zayn saying he wanted Owens for himself and that Shane McMahon can get his hands on him at Hell in a Cell. Baron Corbin def. Tye Dillinger by count-outIt's cool that while he won't be involved in the United States Championship match at Hell in a Cell (at least not yet, anyway), Dillinger is still lingering around the Corbin and AJ Styles feud. He and Corbin had a pretty basic bout, but Dillinger wasn't squashed like I thought he would be, and he was even protected by the count-out finish. Styles vs. Corbin hasn't been lighting the world on fire so far, but perhaps a memorable match at the pay-per-view would change my mind.
Rhyno def. Dash WilderThis is the third straight episode of Main Event that Wilder has been a part of, so it's good that WWE is utilizing him as much as they can while his partner Scott Dawson is out with an injury. He and Rhyno actually faced off two weeks ago and had a decent match, though this wasn't much different. The crowd was into it because they recognize both guys, but they didn't do anything that was too much out of the ordinary. Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik def. Drew Gulak and Tony NeseAt this point, I honestly think Gulak is better off by himself than being paired with someone like Nese. Gulak actually has a character now with his PowerPoint presentation gimmick, while Nese is an impressive physique and nothing more. Nevertheless, this was a fun little match while it lasted and it was cool to see Dorado and Metalik showcase their skills more than usual. They'd be a great tag team if they weren't relegated to the Cruiserweight division.
