WWE hinted at a potential Undertaker vs Strowman match with a backstage camera shot during The Deadman’s return

Jack Gallagher vs. Drew Gulak and Neville vs. Lince Dorado:

Two fine Cruiserweight matches, although storytelling was the focus more than in-ring action

Results: Jack Gallagher pins Drew Gulak, and Neville submits Lince Dorado.

Grade for both: 7/10

These two Cruiserweight matches were fine, although they were both squash matches that did little to excite. Jack Gallagher’s feud with Ariya Daivari looks set to continue, which is acceptable for the time being. It gives both men something to work with, and Gallagher’s entertaining character can make it work.

Neville continues to prosper as top heel of the Cruiserweight division, with his post-match attack on Dorado emphasising his new attitude. Rich Swann gaining revenge on Neville was a nice touch, as they look set to clash for Swann’s title, possibly at the Rumble.

Still, the matches here were nothing special, but at least the story development after each match was good.
