KG takes her down then Lola does a guillotine choke on her. KG northern lights suplexes her out of it and pins her with the hold still on. The other ref motions that KG tapped out.
Thoughts: The finish was creative but stupid. KG had a 2 count and tapped out. The match was one of the better bouts for both girls. Lola and KG did a bunch of good amateur wrestling to start and the two meshed pretty well. They should probably run it back again as it helped both girls out.
Shawn Michaels comes out and everyone talks to him. The show goes off with us not know who won or who will go to Stand and Deliver.
Overall thoughts: They had a good crowd and they put on a good show here. All of the wrestling was good and it felt like almost like a PLE special. This was the wrong show to run before Stand and Deliver though as the focus was not as much on that as it should have. And this year's Stand and Deliver was poorly built up, meaning it needed all the help it could get. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 as it felt like a more special show than usual and all of the matches were hits.
