Thoughts: I was surprised by this one. This ended up being pretty good. Rox's comeback was really good in this one and she brought the fight to Pink. She hit her offense well in this one and looked far better than I expected. Pink might have won this one but Rox really stepped up here and upped her stock.

Overall thoughts: The main was good here and easily the best thing on this show. I was really surprised by Roxxy Fierce's performance and thought she did a good job. Gigi vs Holly was a rare heel vs heel match and wasn't bad. I also was fine with the Top Tier promo. This one was all about the battle royal qualifying matches and we still have a lot to go. I thought it was a good show overall and this season continues to show that WOW has really upped their game in Season 5, though the wrestlers aren't quite as talented as Season 4's were. I liked this one and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
