Thoughts: If you were looking for an epic, this wasn't it. Things were picking up some then the match ended. It was very even early on and Gun didn't really get to beat down Cody as expected. What we got of this was alright but it was disappointing and unfulfilling. 

Gunther complains after and argues with the ref. Gun walks off mad.

LA Knight and Montez Ford are in the crowd having snacks and looking like geeks. The Judgment Day girls are also in the crowd.

Thoughts: Rhea thankfully won here. B-Fab had one drop and she botched it, leading to a situation where Rhea had Jade down for the pin but the ref didn't count it. Jade didn't add a lot here though she took more bumps than she ever had taken before. It was just average at best.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout. It wasn't much but F-5's and kimura's. It was basically a sprint. I didn't love it and I thought Oba kicking out of all the F-5's devalued that move some. Brock wins here and it surely will set-up another bout between them. 

Brock says "1+1, you're done b!tch".

We see Bron Breakker and Austin Theory sitting in the stands. We also see Giulia and Santino Marella.

They show us clips from last night's incredible El Grande Americano vs El Grande Americano mask match.

Thoughts: Sol winning was a surprise. I don't think they did a good job getting Sol into this spot as she hadn't won a single match yet on the main roster. It was a faster paced bout and they didn't waste a lot of time. This was an okay match. I assume we are getting a rematch off of this.

Page, Iyo, Lyra and Evans are in the crowd.

Thoughts: Roman won here definitively and talked a bunch of trash while doing it. There were no run in's and it hurt Fatu. There was no real need for this to be done the way it was, but this is why I dreaded Roman winning the title again. Roman does not help people out all that much by beating them and Fatu in particular needed protected since he's pushed as a bad @ss. Cole also hurt Fatu here saying that Roman "neutered" him. 

The first half of this bout was very boring with some weak and slow brawling around the arena. It picked up some in the second half but really didn't compare at all to what we saw in the mask match night before. There was no blood, only one table spot and the most painful spot was probably Fatu getting the steps launched at his head. It was an acceptable to maybe okay main but it was not the classic showdown it could have been. Fatu's also now totally dead in the water coming out of this.

Jey Uso puts the ula fala on Roman. Jimmy comes out with him and they congratulate Roman. We see The MFT's in the crowd looking at Roman. Roman tells The Uso's he's got something for Solo. Jey tells Fatu to come with them. Fatu is hesitant and Jey tells him to hurry up like he's a little b!tch.

Overall thoughts: It was a weak PLE. We had two matches with sketchy finishes to start things. Cody/Gunther was shorter and didn't get to be anything great. Rhea/Jade had a botched moment near the finish that really hurt things and that match was average. Oba/Brock was short finisher spam. Becky/Sol had a faster pace to it and it was okay. Sadly, I'd say it was the best match on here. The main was slower, longer and buried Fatu. It was acceptable but was nothing memorable. I thought this show was a waste of my time. It's a PLE. These are supposed to be big shows where everyone goes all out and we get definitive conclusions to various feuds. We didn't really get that and this was clearly there to build up other shows down the line. I thought it was also lame that they had people like Bron, LA Knight, Liv and others literally eating popcorn and drinking soda instead of wrestling. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 overall and I thought it was below average. I don't recommend this one.
