Ariya Daivari vs. Lince Dorado and T.J. Perkins vs. Brian Kendrick:
Trending
Grade for both: 7.5/10
This match was forgettable and short, and the crowd was completely dead for the action. That was, until, Jack Gallagher interfered. Stating his intention to interfere and give Daivari a ‘good thrashing’, Gallagher got a strong reaction from the crowd, and his unorthodox, unique character seems to catch fan interest.

Instead of letting Cruiserweights outside of the title picture flounder, it was wise of WWE to capitalise and give Gallagher and Daivari a mini-feud of sorts here. Overall, a forgettable match but a strong showcase of Gallagher, who seems to be increasing in popularity as this feud with Daivari continues.
This was a solid match, although once again, the crowd was incredibly quiet. TJ Perkins has unfortunately lost a lot of momentum as a babyface, and the fans have not been behind him in recent weeks. A clean loss here to Kendrick didn’t help matters either, and a heel turn that was teased with Rich Swann in a backstage segment would be a wise choice.
Kendrick’s character is still entertaining even with him not as Champion, and he picked up a solid win here. The triple threat for the Cruiserweight title between Swann, Perkins and Kendrick will be a strong match, but the crowd may not be into it. Overall, a solid match, with Swann, Perkins and Kendrick set to clash at Roadblock.
