We get a Lio Rush video with him acting goofy and saying "it's fine" and "let me out". 

We see an Action Andretti interview from last week. He says the match with Lio was BS. He says Lio shouldn't have been in it as he lost to AR during his title shot. Action tells Lio to take care of the title and enjoy it as he's coming for it.

Mark Sterling does the intro for his team. Mark says Beef has lost 40lbs since they whipped him into shape. Mark says Beef will never look like Nese and Ari but won't look like a fat slob lie the people of Cincinati. He then tries to do the cheer.

Beef takes a spinning forearm then a tazzmission and a choke. KS PK's Beef and pins him.

Sammy Guevara does a promo. He says he has been back to back with trips to CMLL and AEW. He says him and Mortos have been kicking @ss in Mexico. He says he's going back to Arena Mexico and says it's sold out because he's everyone's favorite luchador.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. Solo got most of the offense in and Mikey won here. This was random and win or lose, it didn't do a lot for anyone.

The Outrunners and Dalton Castle are interviewed. Truth says if The Lethal Twist want to ride the lightning, they better hope they don't catch the thunder. Turbo says good luck getting the title off of him as it's on him all the time and it leaks. Dalton says, "Lethal Twist, what the heck?".

Thoughts: It wasn't quite as good as it could have been and the finish feel flat. The two just mostly hit various shots on each other here and didn't really get a good flow going.

They hug after.

He says they are challenging The Conglomeration for Collision and say they won't make Forbidden Door.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Olym didn't bring a lot to this one and DP won as expected. DP mostly did arm submissions here.

They shake hands after.

Overall thoughts: It was a so-so show overall. We had a bunch of random and cold matches and none of them were particularly great or memorable. The crowd wasn't that into this and I don't really blame them. I'd say Mark Davis vs Ace was the best match of the night but that is not saying much here. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 as it was pretty underwhelming and not that good.
