- Thea Hail vs. Jazmyn Nyx
- Josh Briggs vs. Duke Hudson
AEW:
– Yuta Injured: Wheeler Yuta was pulled from a multiple man tag team match in CMLL, where he would have teamed with the rest of the BCC. His injury status is a bit worrying now.
– AEW Collision Move: Just a reminder for fans that AEW has moved Collision on April 6, so they don’t conflict with WrestleMania.
