The ROH TV title fight was the first match of the pre-show. Cage dominated Atlantis for most of the fight, while the luchador played the underdog.

It was a fun, but semi-predictable match. Both guys looked good, which is the most important thing in these Zero Hour battles. Cage ultimately won and became the new ROH TV Champion.

Result: Cage defeated Atlantis

Cameron and Jay clashed in the second pre-show fight. For once, Jay came into a match with a significant experience advantage.

They put a lot of effort into their performances, but the bar is high for AEW PPV matches. Jay got the win, but it looked like the referee had to help push Cameron’s shoulder down. It wasn’t something we should have seen.

Result: Jay defeated Cameron

Rico joined Mason Madden and Mansoor as their surprise guest to take on Max Caster and Anthony Bowens, who were joined by Billy Gunn.

Gunn referenced his history with Rico before the fight started. This played out like a normal match with many comedic moments. Some worked, some didn’t.

Gunn eliminated Rico to set up The Acclaimed to win with a Mic Drop.

Result: The critically acclaimed defeated MxM

A very random eight-man match concluded Zero Hour as Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly teamed up with The Outrunners to take on The Premier Athlete and Dark Order.

This was exactly what you would expect. It had some comedy spots, some double-team moves and plenty of tags so everyone could get some calling time.

Mark Sterling, Josh Woods, Evil Uno and Rocky Romero all got involved before the babyfaces got the win.

Result: Outrunners and Conglomeration win
