Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno & John Silver vs. Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn & Juice Robinson

[6.0] "This was a decent enough opener with Dark Order vs Bullet Club on this holiday filler episode of ROH TV."

[3.0] "The comedy spots did not click with the fans. Felt like a dark match. A strange match which is easily avoidable"

[4.0] "Can anyone tell me what is going on with the trios titles? Weren't they unified? I was glad I didn't have to see these belts again as they felt incredibly meaningless but apparently the only thing it means is that they have to defend at both companies?"

[4.0] "The first match involving the trios champions on an episode of this show since September 2023 only appearing on Final Battle 2023 and Supercard 2024 otherwise (and not even with the full trios set that won them with Jay White absent despite the freebird rule.) An OK match but The Dark Order feel lower unfortunately than they have ever been presented under the AEW umbrella"

[4.0] "A different type of proving grounds for a title shot. I have never been impressed with the current Dark Order's game and this certainly did not change that opinion."

[4.0] "This felt like a throwaway dark match with an even amount of comedy mixed with mediocre wrestling. The crowd couldn't care less and neither did I. Nobody stood out in this as a highlight. **"
