They say they see Swipe Right and that's why they had to watch their match in person. They say they will lay out Swipe Right if they come for their spots. They say they can't forget about TNT either. They say they don't play and didn't have to call Daddy (Devon Dudley) to call Booker to get a shot here. They say they will do what they always do - what they are supposed to do.

They say people are tired of seeing Fly Def and says they will put the Tongan flag up where it belongs. They then do a "T" hang signal with their arms and make the interviewer do it.

Thoughts: It was a decent match. There was nothing wrong with it and the heels won by cheating. MMT aren't exactly the best faces though and are better suited for a heel role rather than going up against other heels.

Overall thoughts: It was a bit shorter at only 38 minutes and 3 matches. All 3 matches were fine and Maya/Monroe was the best match of the night. That was almost a joshi style match and I liked it. The main was fine but MMT are more suited for a heel role than being the faces, which they were here. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 as it was an easy watch and it was a decent show.
