Jessie Jones and Big Rig Betty vs The Alliance (BK Rhythm and Gigi Gianni)
BK insults her opponents with a rap.
Betty and Gigi trade wristlocks. Betty side headlocks her then Gigi reverses it. Betty shoulders her over. Betty misses a corner euro then facebusters her. Betty kicks her in the back then superkicks her. Gigi takes a changing lanes.
Jones hits back elbows on Gigi. Jones snapmares BK then kicks her in the back. Jones sliding lariats BK for 2. BK takes corner hip attacks for 2. BK takes a double back elbow and a double elbow drop. Jones is thrown into the ropes and Reina del Rey pulls the ropes down, sending Jones out hard.
Jones pulls BK's hair then Gigi pulls BK's hair. Gigi walks on Jones then elbow drops her for 2. Gigi kicks Jones in the back for 2. Gigi and her crew pose on Jones on the 2nd rope. Jones is tripped into BK's knee, gut first.
BK cobra twists Jones. BK misses an elbow drop. Jones eye pokes her then hits a stroke. Betty comes in and hits shots on Gigi. She rainmakers her then uraken's and superkicks BK. Gigi takes a russian legsweep + lariat and is pinned.
Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It was acceptable but nothing too great. Jones and Betty won as they are one of the top face teams right now and the champs are a heel team.
Lindsay Carlson talks to Holly Swagg in the back, Laurie Carlson talks to Penelope Pink. Pink and Swagg both tell them the other said they would be an easy win. Pink encourages Laurie to go kick Lindsay's @ss.
Genesis vs Scout Parker
Gen backs Scout up in the corner. Gen's head is banged off the buckles and Scout top rope dropkicks her. Scout hits a corner meteora and a pendulum double knee. Gen hits knees to the gut and misses a leg drop. Scout does a short headscissors spike on her.
Scout stomps Gen. Gen sweeps her for 2. Gen does a sharpshooter variation and Scout ropebreaks. Scout hiptosses her then straightjacket chokes her. Gen then reverses it on her. Gen full-nelson slams her and wins.
Thoughts: It was a shorter one. What we got was average and acceptable but they just didn't get enough time to do anything great here.
Genesis gets on the mic after. She says David McClane is a piece of work. She says she was put back in Exile for losing in the three way. She says she used to call Scout "Ice Cold" in Exile, who she said had to be exiled for incompetence. Gen says the match was a slap in her face. She asks when she will get her title shot or asks if Dave will exile her again.
We get a video on the recent history of The Carlson Twins and The Fab Four.
Lana Starr, Holly Swagg and Penelope Pink come out. Lana says tonight is about the future of The Fab Four. She says we've seen the whispers of betrayal with The Carlson's. She says this is about the legacy The Fab Four has built. Lana says they need to settle this once and for all. Lana says she's doing this for them and the greater good. She says they fight tonight.
Lindsay Carlson vs Laurie Carlson
Laur side headlocks her then takes her over. Laur side headlocks her. Linds headscissors her. Linds hammerlocks her then Laur headlocks her. Linds armdrags her then side headlocks her. Laur armdrags her then straightjacket chokes her.
Linds takes her over then armdrags her. Laur snapmares her three times. Linds armlocks her. Linds trips her and side headlocks her. Laur trips her, ties her legs up and pulls on her chin.
They trade front facelocks. Linds backslides her then cradles her for 2. Lind hits a lariat and questions what she did. Laur back elbows her then hurricanrana's her. Linds spinning headscissors her. They double clothesline each other down.
Holly Swagg and Penelope Pink try to hand Linds and Laur chairs. They sisters tease hitting each other but then nail Pink and Holly instead. The sisters then hug. The calls this a "No Contest" and the match is over.
Thoughts: This told a great story with the sisters being put against each other and turning on the people who put them against each other. They mostly just wrestled and traded holds. Linds regretted lariating Holly and they knocked each other down. They were ready to chair each other but then chaired Holly and Pink instead. It was really well done and easily one of the better moments WOW has put together. This was great. This also appeared to be a rare double face turn.
Next week's show has Paola Mayfield vs The Classmaster for the WOW Title.
The sisters get on the mic after. Laur says blood is thicker than water. Laursays they are more than blood, they are family. She says she's her sister and twin. She says she sees herself in her. She says they are never in competition as when one wins, the other wins. Laur says they have been a team their whole life. Laur says you can't break this bond.
Linds says they came into this world together and will go out of together. Linds says they are stronger and better together and are unstoppable. Linds says that's why everyone breaks them apart - because they can't beat them when they are together. Linds says Holly can't even break them apart. Linds says they took Holly out of the trailer park and treated them like family. Linds says the lies eventually catch up and they caught onto them.
Linds says they knocked down all the competition in the tag division together and became the best team together. Linds says they will continue to dominate. Linds says they need to settle this in the ring in a tag match. Linds says Holly knows the belts belong to them.
Overall thoughts: It was one of WOW's best episodes with Miami's Sweet Heat going at it, nearly going too far then doing a double faceturn on Pink and Holly. This one had been built up for a bit so it meant more and it made sense. It was easily one of the best stories WOW ever told and it was just a great moment. You definitely have to see that and the stuff that lead up to it. The opener was average and acceptable and Genesis/Scout Parker wasn't that much. I'd give this one an 8 out of 10 almost solely due to how well the main and the angle around it was done. Bravo WOW!
