Orange Cassidy def. Trent BerettaI appreciated that they made this feel like a grudge match instead of any ordinary singles match. The crowd hated Beretta and was behind Cassidy. It was well worked and I didn't mind the finish because Cassidy just barely got the better of Beretta. What I did mind, however, was Cassidy getting back to his feet right after taking a piledriver from Beretta on the steel steps. That was completely ridiculous. I understand Cassidy has had Superman-esque qualities in the past, but that was too far.

#AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week's edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
Wes Lee def. Josh BriggsBriggs was the perfect opponent for the returning Lee as they had a nice dynamic together due to the size difference. They had quality chemistry and the crowd was behind Lee throughout. The pre-match video package highlighting his NXT run, injury and return was well done. Briggs and Ivar interacting at ringside seems to indicate those two will be going one-on-one again soon. I'm happy Ivar's NXT return run isn't over yet despite losing to Oba Femi last week.
A.J. Francis def. Bryan Idol in a No Disqualification MatchI give Francis a lot of credit. Despite being subpar in the ring, he's become more relevant since leaving WWE the second time with his runs in TNA and MLW. Now he's arrived in the NWA, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be sticking around or if this was just a one-off. He did a nice job of eliciting heat with his pre-match promo. They benefited from the stipulation, which was added right before the bell rang. Aside from a few messy moments, this was decent and the crowd was into it.
