Thoughts: I wasn't a fan. OC had to do his usual screwing around here with a guy who doesn't like him as a partner that much and opponents who are cheating against him. The logic was just very poor for that stuff and it's a shame as the work was okay otherwise.

RS says he owes OC an explanation. He says a change needed to happen when Kyle O'Reilly got injured. He says the change had to happen with him. RS says he's officially a Conglomeration member.

Vip and Alex have their backs banged together and they take fallaway slams and corner splashes. Meg and Alex then knock them down together. Vip takes a double chokeslam and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was all squash here and not much of note. I really don't get Vipress. She had a good look at one point and she seems determined to hide and change that.

Tommaso Ciampa vs. Lio Rush

Lio has weird eye contacts on and he kind of crawls his way to the ring acting all spooky. He also has new scary music.

TC is amused by Lio's new personality. Lio runs all the ropes and sends TC out. Lio handspring kicks TC off the apron. Lio low topes him. TC is sent into the rails. TC facekicks him, lays him on the rail top and knees him in the face.

Lio superkicks him in the knee then takes a dropkick to the knee. Lio stunners him twice. Lio blue thunders him for 2. They trade forearms and bite each other's fingers. They then slap each other. Lio spin kicks him in the face. Lio is thrown hard into the buckles and goes out. TC then powerbomb backbreakers him inside for 2. TC pumping knees him and wins.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time and maybe too much. Lio's got a new persona but he didn't win here and that hurt whatever he's doing here. TC was kind of a face at times here which is also an issue since he's a heel. This was something and we'll have to see what they do with Lio's new gimmick.

AEW World Trios Title Match - JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey) & Mistico (c) vs. The Don Callis Family (El Clon, Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita)

Thoughts: I wouldn't say it was anyone's best work here. Mist and Clon did most of the work here while he saw little of Josh and Takeshita. Josh supposedly got injured so that was likely why. It was okay overall. Mistico's team won here since they just won the titles.

Overall thoughts: I thought it was average overall. Nothing was too great here and all 3 of the full length matches had some parts that could have been better. The squash was what it was. Like I said yesterday, AEW had a chance to get some new viewers here due to the NCAA Tournament, but they didn't put out their best card and I really doubt they hooked anyone en masse here. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and wouldn't recommend it.
