The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso) def. The Street ProfitsThe Usos still haven't formally interacted since they defended the SmackDown Tag Team Championship on the February 10th edition of SmackDown. Jimmy said nothing new during the pre-match promo, but the match itself was enjoyable for what it was, even though the outcome wasn't really in doubt. I want to see WWE capitalize on Montez Ford's standout singles showing at Elimination Chamber and not continue to compete in random tag matches, but it was business as usual for him and Angelo Dawkins here.

Emi Sakura def. Rachelle RiveterSakura's role has been firmly established as someone who can work with the younger women on the AEW roster and lend them experience. Her recent match on Dark against Billie Starkz was a perfect example of that. As I always say, she wins these matches so it means more when she's eventually beaten. That's why we get as many squashes as we do on the Dark shows, but at least she's been showing more personality this past year and thus I don't mind her matches as much.
Joe Alonzo def. PJ HawxJamie Stanley just debuted as Alonzo's new manager, so it made sense for Alonzo to go over here and start building momentum. Alonzo has always been skilled in the ring, but Stanley should be able to add some personality to his act. This was a basic, well-worked match designed to give Alonzo a win. My only nitpick is that Alonzo's finisher is basically The Miz's Skull Crushing Finale and that was all I could think of when he used it. I know people share finishers all the same, but Miz has had that move for almost 15 years and it will forever be synonmoous with him.
AEW World Trios Champions The Young Bucks def. Aussie OpenI couldn't believe it when Aussie Open said recently that hadn't been booked by any promotion in several months. They're a terrific team and I hope they find a permanent home somewhere soon. Having them eliminated from the tag team Battle Royale on Wednesday's Dynamite in anticlimactic fashion didn't bode well for their chances of beating the Bucks here (even with the lights going out briefly due to House of Black), but it was a very entertaining opener as expected and they were given plenty of time. House of Black attempted to attack them afterward but disappeared when the lights went out again. I'd be surprised if that Trios title match wasn't added to Revolution.
