Mustafa Ali def. RicochetThese two feuded while Ali was the leader of RETRIBUTION and he was attempting to recruit Ricochet into the group. Not only was he unsuccessful, the angle never had a payoff if I remember correctly. Ricochet lost a majority of his matches against RETRIBUTION and we've barely seen Ricochet on Raw since then. How sad. Needless to say, both of these guys deserve so much more, but I'll take a fun match from them whenever we can get it. They're clearly capable of a lot more, but this was enjoyable while it lasted. I'd be down for more matches from them on Main Event if WWE has no plans to utilize them on Raw any time soon.

FTW Champion Brian Cage def. "Hangman" Adam Page (Non-Title)Page beat Ricky Starks in last week's opener, so it made sense for another Team Taz member to be his next opponent. Page has been rolling in singles matches for months, so I was surprised as anyone that he lost clean here. Technically, Cage brutalized Page beforehand, but he still dominated a majority of the match and won without any inference. It was an entertaining opener and, personally, I didn't have an issue with the outcome. If Page isn't getting the next shot at the AEW World Championship, it makes sense to knock him down in the rankings a spot or two until that time comes. Plus, Team Taz desperately needed a notable win and this was it.

Mercedes Martinez def. Dakota Kai by DisqualificationI don't know who is supposed to be the heel here because Kai and Martinez aren't showing any babyface tendencies. Raquel Gonzalez did for that one week, but then she threw Martinez into the barricade after this, so who knows. Otherwise, this was a solid opener from two of the best in NXT's women's division. Kai is a damn workhorse and it's nice to see Martinez back in the spotlight. The disqualification finish was disappointing, but I guess it prevented Kai from suffering a pinfall loss.
