- Triple Threat Tag (Ace Austin & Madman Fulton vs. TJP & Fallah Bahh vs. Josh Alexander & Petey Williams): 5/7. It's always annoyed me that only two teams are legal at any given time but now that WWE's given up on that nonsense it's going to annoy me even more that other shows are still doing it.
- Chairly Legal Match (Shera vs. Hernandez): 5/7. The gimmick was supposed to be "chairs are legal", which would at least have distinguished it from a regular no-DQ match, but as usual it turned out to just be a standard no-DQ match with themed props around the ring.
- Doc Gallows vs. Black Taurus: 5/7. Given that the Good Brothers have a championship rematch coming up, the outcome of this match was pretty easy to predict.
- Mystery Crate Match (Johnny Swinger vs. Matt Cardona): 2/7. I'm never sure how ironic the "Swinger's Palace" segments are supposed to be. Is it dumb and shitty on purpose, as a joke, or is it just dumb and shitty? And does it matter?
- Flashback Moment of the Week (Rob Van Dam vs Sabu): 6/7. It was half a match from ten years ago, but it was still one of the bext parts of the show. Some creative use of chairs.
- Sami Callihan vs. Sam Beale: 3/7. Filler.
- Hardcore Blindfold Match (Bryan Myers vs. Jake Something): 5/7. Didn't mind this one. It was something a bit different.
- #1 Contender Weapons Match (Jordynne Grace vs. Susan vs. Tenille Dashwood vs. Havok vs. Rosemary vs. Alisha Edwards): 6/7. I always love some supernatural shenanigans, and the actual match was good too.
- Old School Rules Title vs. Career Knockouts Championship (Deonna Purrazzo vs. Jazz): 6/7. Good match, believable stakes.
- Eight-Man Hardcore War (Violent By Design vs. Team Dreamer): 4/7. WarGames is dumb, but you're not going to improve it by half-arsing it.
Overall rating: 5/7. Should have gotten rid of Johnny Swinger and ended on the Knockouts Championship. But mostly just get rid of Johnny Swinger.
