Akira Tozawa vs Bronson Reed 

Tozawa charges at him and is thrown off. Tozawa hits a flurry of shots then pump kicks him. Reed body blocks him and headbutts him. Reed slams and elbow drops him.

Reed back elbows him then gorilla press drops him. Reed misses a senton thne takes a corkscrew kick. Tozawa boots him out of the corner and hurricanrana's him into the buckles. Tozawa is then popped up and ddt's him.

Tozawa rips his shirt off then flips onto Reed off the top. Red catches him and death valley drivers him. Reed top rope splashes him and wins it.

It was short but made sense and was what it needed to be with the big man vs little man story. There was nothing wrong with this one.

Johnny Gargano vs Ivar

JG = Johnny Gargano

Ivar blocks a headlock takeover and an armdrag. JG jumps off the 2nd rope and hurricanrana's him. JG topes him then he pats himself on the back along with Ciampa. Ivar is knocked down from the apron. JG tries to plancha him but is send into the apron. Ivar then crossbodies him against the apron.

JG hits punches then Ivar spinning slams him. Ivar misses a bronco buster in the corner. Ivar spinning high kicks him for 2. Ivar does a double underhook sitout powerbomb for 2. Ivar hits a back elbow flurry in the corner then JG superkicks him.

They trade shots on their knees and Ivar corner spears him. JG goes up and over in the corner and wins it.

I thought they did too much here with Johnny surviving the double underhook powerbomb and getting crossbodied against the apron. I also thought it went longer than it needed to.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 matches here and neither one was must see. The opener was okay but short and they did too much in the other match and went longer then necessary.
