SV hits a double underhook backbreaker. SV hits a skytwister press off the top and wins.

Thoughts: The match was average. Fallon's limited and not super athletic. SV isn't the greatest either. I thought Fatal Influence should have been kicked out with them interfering in front of the ref. The first half of this was shockingly all technical wrestling which I didn't expect. SV got the win as expected here. Fallon really didn't get much of a reign and really was just a transitional champ.

We get a video on Briggs and Inamura.

Thoughts: I would have liked the spanish fly to have meant more but I liked this otherwise. This was a god match. Briggs and Inamura hit some hard shots and Fraxiom did some nice flying. It couldn't of worked out much better than it did and even in the loss, Briggs and Inamura got over some because of their performance.

The two teams shake hands after and get jumped by the new mystery group. Fraxiom get thrown into each other off their shoulders. Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Sayquon Shugars and one other person were involved. The crowd chanted "who are you?".

Thoughts: I think Dion has a lot of potential as a face so I don't him being a heel here. But we will see where this one goes.

Thoughts: Eddy winning was a surprise. I'm not real sure about that decision but it looks like there's a longer feud at play here. It wasn't quite your traditional strap match but they did a good job of making it look like a fight and did a good job roughing each other up. I wouldn't say there was a real format or structure to this though but they pulled it off somehow.

We get some clips of WWE LFG which starts tomorrow.

JE hits punches then corkscrew kicks him off the ropes.  JE stomps Page's jaw. JE suicide dives him outside. JE goes for an os cutter but is punched. JE's mouthpiece goes out and Page cutters him for the win.

Thoughts: The work was okay but the logic wasn't that good here. Page worked the lower leg. JE did sell it but still did his flying. Page then ended up winning with a cutter on JE's injured jaw. I thought Page should have worked the jaw here since he had injured it in storyline and it would have made sense. Instead, that spot only played into the finish. JE's tope was wild here.

JE spits up blood after.

Thoughts: It was a good match. You would think Oba would just get destroyed here until he made his comeback but they had him get a ton of offense in. I thought they did a good job of making him look strong. They of course played up Waller and Theory failing to work together. Oba got a lot of power offense in here. This was done well.

Thoughts: It had some rough moments here and wasn't that great. I guess it was okay enough but certainly nothing you'd remember. No one did anything too crazy here and we really didn't get any big spots out of this one. This didn't even get that much time. This didn't do much storyline wise for anyone except maybe breaking up the Perez/Jade pairing. This really shouldn't have been the main but they love to let the women main event when the other matches are weaker.

Stephanie Vaquer comes out after and her and Giulia hold up their titles together. Jordynne Grace comes out after and stares at both.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like the main. It wasn't anything special and was far from anyone's best work. It shouldn't have been the main event either. I liked Femi/Waller/Theory a lot more than I expected and the same could be said for Trick/Thorpe and the NXT Tag Title match. Vaquer's match wasn't that good and she won as expected. I liked some part of Evans/Page but the logic wasn't there. I'd say the Femi/Waller/Theory match was my match of the night. We'll have to see where things go with the new faction who attacked Oba and others tonight but they definitely tried to get them off to a big start here tonight. I'd give this one a 7 out of 10 overall and would recommend it. It was better than I expected and I thought it was a good show overall.
