NWA Power opened with a match right at the start of the show as the first match in the Champions Series: a team-by-team contest where the winners and captains receive open title shots or a chance to protect their title should they possess it.
Team Kamille and Austin Idol battles Team Aron Stevens and Taryn Terrell while Team NIck Aldis and Melina takes on Team Pope and Velvet Sky.
Thom Latimer (Team Kamille) defeated Marshe Rockett (Team Stevens)
Latimer went right after Rockett, showing his experience. Rockett endured the early assault and hit an armdrag on Latimer. Rockett hit a dropkick to send Latimer to the apron. Rockett got his neck pulled into the top rope and Latimer came back in with stomps and a neckbreaker.

Daniel Bryan Has Reported Signed A Contract With AEW Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Jul 21, 2021
We reported yesterday that WWE has no internal plans to bring Daniel Bryan back to the company following the recent expiry of his contract.
In an update, Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net is reporting that Bryan is locked in and signed a contract with AEW. In addition, I was told that Danielson was wanting to work less dates for comparable money, he wanted the ability to be able to work in Japan, and wanted to have creative input on his character, which he got.
