ROW Women's Tag Titles - The Money Birds (Gigi Rey and Monica Monroe) (c) vs Spark the World (Maya World and Kaylia Capri)

From what I can find, Maya has another partner that makes up Spark the World, but she's not here and I guess Capri is taking her place. Monroe is also being called Monica Monroe here and not Ladybird Monroe like in the NWA.

Maya superkicks Rey then Rey takes a blade runner + neckbreaker for 2. Monroe breaks it up with a top rope swanton. Monica tornado ddt's Maya and Rey jackhammers Maya for the win.

Thoughts: They had a sloppy move or two but I liked it. The Birds are good faces and their opponents were fine. The crowd was hot for this as well which helped out things. 

Danny Limelight does a promo outside with Rudy Garza and Alex Gracia. He has a hammer. Danny says he has his mind on The Island Boyz. He says he has a tag champ with him. Rudy says they will come into and step into the spotlight. Danny says to get ready as they aren't on the island but in the limelight.

Thoughts: It was fine. Again, there was nothing great here but the heels were heels and the faces were decent faces. Danny's pedigree finisher was interesting. 

Zilla Fatu hits punches on Gaspar Hernandez in the back then drops him with a chair shot. Booker T and Edge Stone then walk in and wonder what happened. Booker tells Edge to go take out Fatu and says he will stay back here.

Thoughts: It was a decent match. Zilla was a good face here showing some fire and Edge did what he was supposed to do. The crowd was super hot for this and really helped this out. Zilla continues to look like the next Fatu in line to be a big star in WWE. 

Booker yells at Zilla after. Zilla says he has a surprise and says he will be in the Last Stand Rumble and will win. Booker says he will be in it but he will be coming in at number 1. 

Overall thoughts: As usual, it was a solid show from ROW. I don't think I've ever seen a bad episode of this show. We had four matches here. All were about the same level quality wise and all were acceptable and okay. The main was the best thing on here. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 and I liked it.
