Pers headbutt flurries Lane. Lane hurricanrana's her out of splash mountain. Lane slices her on the back of the neck. Lane bottom rope springboard tornillo elbow drops her. Pers hits a big spear then hits a kneeling razor's edge to win.
Thoughts: The action was definitely a step up from what we usually get and I thought they did well for the girls. Lane's not like super athletic but what she does is enough and makes her stand out some. I didn't expect much from this but ended up enjoying it. The justification for this was funny as they said Lane beating Robyn Renegade got her this shot, but most of the roster has beaten Robyn at some point in time.

Thoughts: It was an okay bout there with Reed doing some nice flying. I liked his flying cutter off over the top spot as at least he didn't land back first on the floor from it. Reed won but these guys are tag wrestlers and it doesn't matter much.

Ath punts her and clubs on her. Ath pumphandle tombstones her for 2. Billie throws Hyan in and beats her up. Diamante gives Ath a title belt and she nails Maya with it. Ath then hit a top rope diving o-face and pins her.
Thoughts: This felt like it went over forever despite only going 19 minutes. They were having a back and forth match and then had Athena's come down which added nothing and took away some from this. I was alright with this at first but it went on and on and I couldn't buy that Maya was going to be the one to beat Ath for the title. They definitely did raise Maya's stock here and made it clear she's not some jobber though, so this was a win for her. It also seems like we are probably getting some kind of tag match out of this.
Overall thoughts: It was a long show at about 1 hour and 45 minutes. It didn't have as much random filler as usual though and I can at least come up with justifications for 5-6 of the matches happening. We had 3 champs in action which was nice. Wrestling wise the show was fine though the main definitely ran too long and got brought down with outside shenanigans. I'd say the opener was the best thing on here. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as a lot of the issues this show usually has were not factors here.
