He said Javi has been here for a minute but says he has to eat and has bills to pay. He says Javi is in his way and says he will show why he is called The Young OG.

Wren takes her down by the arm then Lola euros her. Lola pulls her backwards then bangs her arm off the post. Lola stomps the hand then throws her back against the buckles. Lola corner hip attacks her and stinkfaces her.

Lola armlocks her. Wren fights back and dragon screws her. Wren hits lariats and dropkicks her. Wren backrolls her for 2 then takes a uraken. Lola then gets the win.

It was boring. They didn't do a lot here but armlocks and throwing people backwards.

JB dances during his entrance. They lock up and JB wristlocks him. JB turns it into an armlock. Evans kips up, cartwheels and flips out. Evans uses the ropes to armdrag him from behind then flying headscissors him. Evans seated bounces off the top rope and hurricanrana's him.

JB ddt's him for 2. Evans rolls him up for 2 then cradles him for 2. Evans superkicks him then double jump tornillo splashes him to win it.

It was okay. Not great or anything. Evans has a lot of energy and moves well. I liked his finisher here and had not seen that one before. 

Overall thoughts: Two of the three matches were okay. It was watchable and quick at under 30 minutes but not must see or anything. I wouldn't recommend this one.
