AEW Interim World Title Eliminator Match
Jon Moxley vs. Mance Warner

A mediocre brawl at best. Mancer in AEW is sweet but this was a very tame and lackluster brawl type match. Didn’t get crazy and didn’t showcase Mancer well. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Ryan Nemeth (w/Peter Avalon) vs. Konosuke Takeshita

A squash for Takeshita. 

.5 / 5

Singles Match
Madison Rayne vs. Leila Grey (w/Stokely Hathaway)

A fine match but nothing special. Rayne is good in ring but I don’t see her making a change in ring as a wrestler for the division. Some good stuff here and the crowd was into some of it though. 

3 / 5

Non Title Tag Team Friday Night Street Fight
Josh Woods & Tony Nese (w/Mark Sterling) vs. Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland)

Not a bad match but a pointless one. A weapons based brawl match so we didn’t get much wrestling. Nese and company never win anything important so we all knew where this was going. It was fine but just entirely unneeded. 

3 / 5
