Vega rolls her up for 2 and tries a bridge pin. SB then does a grounded choke and wins.

Thoughts: It was a decent match with Shayna doing various submissions and Vega doing various escapes before getting caught. Vega didn't botch anything here and this was better than I thought it would be.

Alpha Academy (Otis and Akira Tozawa) vs No Quarter Catch Crew (Tavion Heights and Myles Borne)

Thoughts: It was a solid match here with them getting good stuff out of Alpha Academy. The heels didn't get to do that much here though but what they did do looked good.

Overall thoughts: We only got two new matches here but both were fine matches. Other than that, we just had some recaps as usual. It was a decent 15 minutes or so of wrestling but nothing must see.
