**Austin Theory vs John Cena - US Championship**
Decent opening match with the right person being put over. While this match barely had a structure, and both men throwing random moves at each other, they were able to make this entertaining enough through sheer charisma.
★★★½
**Men's Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match**
I had little to no expectation for this match going in, but they put on one hell of an entertaining match. Plenty of unbelievable spots in this, like Chad Gable giving a German Suplex to Braun Strowman, and Braun Strowman doing a splash off the top rope.
★★★★
**Seth Rollins vs Logan Paul**
Really good match, despite my hatred for Logan Paul as a human being, he still is able to put on incredible matches despite this match being his fifth overall. Very crazy spots and plenty of nearfalls.
★★★★
**Becky Lynch, Trish Stratus and Lita vs Damage CTRL**
While this match was great for the most part, it was a little bit noticeable that Lita was having problems moving around in this match. Luckily she was only in the match for a short while, and the right team won for the night.
★★★½
**Rey Mysterio vs Dominik Mysterio**
Fun match that had a great build starting 7 months ago at Clash at the Castle. Sure, the advertising they bafflingly put during this match was distracting at times, but the storytelling really outshone that one negative.
★★★★
**Charlotte Flair vs Rhea Ripley - Smackdown Women's Championship**
The build to this match was not interesting at all to me, but they delivered one hell of a hard hitting match. Back and forth offense from both parties and heart stopping nearfalls. Rhea Ripley winning was the right decision.
★★★★½
**The Uso vs Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn - Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships**
Match of the night, and I'm so happy this got top billing over Charlotte vs Rhea (despite that being a great match) because this match (and the Bloodline storyline in general) is some of the best writing and storytelling wrestling had done in a while. It being anywhere not in the main event would be a disservice to all the hard work put into this year long storyline. Plenty of hard hitting spots, and plenty of nearfalls in this. Their was so much emotion put into this match and you can feel it by its ending.
★★★★★
