Result: Riott takes Billie Kay out with the Riott Kick for the win (9:00).

Rating: This was a rock solid and surprisingly competitive kickoff match, with both teams playing to their roles well, while The Riott Squad ultimately netted a much-needed win.

This could've been nothing more than a disposable tag match but the storytelling was actually effortful, and it was ultimately an entertaining mix of theatrics and decent in-ring work.

Peyton sold the hell out of that brutal shoulder stomp, and despite a few sloppy moments from Morgan in particular, it kept up a pacy, fun clip throughout. 6/10
