Zilla gets on the mic. He says it's once in a blue moon that he really loses his cool. He says we will handle business tonight. He calls out Ryan Davidson.

Ryan Davidson comes out. Ryan says instead of giving an answer to his questions, he will give an apology. He says he's sorry...sorry he didn't stomp him down sooner than in Las Vegas. He says ROW was built by guys like him. He says he's the greatest of all time.

He says what happened to Zilla was nothing more than street justice. He says he doesn't care about his family or bloodline. He says there's one difference between them - he's a world-traveled respected wrestler and Zilla is a social media influencer playing wrestler. He says he and Booker don't want him here. He says they got sidewalks on the street as the streets aren't for everyone. He says he's gonna put his @ss to the curb.

Thoughts: I'm not sure what incident they were referring to here but I wish they would have replayed it as it would have explained a lot.

Thoughts: The ending was clever here with Alexa faking an injury after Ice picked her up to get out of the way. It was a bit one sided with Ice getting a lot offense in. There was nothing wrong with it but it wasn't the most exciting thing.

Max then carries Alexa to the back as Alexa yells in pain.

Tiff grabs a hammer and Sharmell pulls her down from the apron. Tiff shoves her then Sharmell hits a big slap. Sharmell throws her in the ring. PB axe kicks her then doctor bombs her for the win.

Thoughts: I wanted to see Sharmell wrestle, so I was going to be disappointed with this no matter what. I get why they didn't have her do it, but they did promise something and didn't deliver. I like Braxton, but not enough to make up for this. Tiff wasn't at her best here as she was having some outfit issues and didn't hit the best side kicks. PB started off well here.

Overall thoughts: I was disappointed in this one as I was looking forward to seeing Sharmell wrestle and avoided spoilers to see it. Then we just didn't get it. The opener was okay. The 2nd match was stopped by a Zilla Fatu run in based off an incident that they either showed a long time ago that I forgot or one that just wasn't replayed. Max/Ice was a bit similar to the first match but had a creative ending. The main event was a bait and switch and even though they did deliver a surprise with Promise Braxton returning, that wasn't what I ordered. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't' recommend it.
