They lock up and Xyon shoves him back. He does a haka pose then Sami does one back. Sami runs into him and is shouldered over. They shove each other. Sami headbutts him then Xyon is pulled over the top. Sami clubs Xyon's chest over the top rope.

Xyon pulls Sami's throat down over the top and hits a big clothesline. Xyon hits mounted punches and chokes him. Xyon boots him and Sami gives him a thumbs down. Xyon headbutt drops him.

Sami lariats him down. Xyon puts the ref in the way and hits shots on Sami. Xyon death valley drivers Sami for 2. Xyon misses a top rope headbutt. Sami does a short piledriver on Xyon and wins.

Thoughts: It was short and nothing special. Xyon had a better outing here than last time but didn't do much outside of the basics. Sami won as expected.

Thoughts: It was fine with Masha working the arm and eventually submitting her with it. Dani's offensive section wasn't that good here though and almost brought it down.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 new matches and a new interview segment here. The main was okay and Sami/Xyon was very basic. The less said about the interview segment, the better. I wouldn't recommend this.
