Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to. It was a little slow towards the end and there were the usual issues with the girls not being strong enough to do some of the spots. The match was fine overall, but it had some room for improvement. Naomi winning didn't make a lot of sense and it felt like there was some non-wrestling factors going on in that pick. She hasn't been pushed much and lost to Jade recently. It's really hard to see her winning the title when there's so many other people who are being pushed ahead of her...and most of them were in this match.
Vikingo, Mr. Iguana, Psycho Clown, Konnan and El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. are in the crowd. They put Iguana over and it's clear he's getting fast tracked to the main roster.
WWE Intercontinental Title - Dominik Mysterio (c) vs Octagon Jr.
This was made on World's Collide earlier. Why? I don't know, but it's a good day to be Oct.
Oct ducks a lariat. Oct walk up the buckles and tornillo's Dom. He then backflips into a spinning headscissors on him. Oct asai moonsaults outside. Oct is dropped crotch first on the top rope then Dom ties Oct's mask to the bottom rope ala Fuerza Guerrera and Octagon Sr.

Dom misses a 619. Oct slingshot tornillo splashes Dom. Oct spinning fisherman neckbreakers Dom. Liv Morgan distracts Oct. Dom dropkicks Oct into the ropes then 619's him. Dom top rope splashes Oct's back and wins.
Thoughts: Oct went down pretty easy here but just being here is something that was unimaginable at the start of the year for him. Even I don't really believe I'm seeing it. It was a short one and it was fine with Oct getting to do his flying and Dom having someone who fits his style.
American Made talk in the back. Chad says it didn't go his way during World's Collide but needs to make sure Grande Americano has a good day. They talk about a "Fireball" sponsored ladder, which is a type of whiskey. Chad says to put the ladder under the ring where Grande can find it. He then says to tell him too where it's put.
WWE Women's Intercontinental Title - Lyra Valkyria vs Becky Lynch
Lynch can't challenge for the title as long as Lyra is champ if she loses. Lyra has to raise Lynch's hand if she loses.

They trade shots. Lyra rolls her up out of a ruanage then BL rolls her up and grabs the tights to win.
Thoughts: They did what they were supposed to here and were extra aggressive with each other. Becky winning by pulling the tights also gives Lyra some credibility to keep this thing going. But I'm not that invested in this feud and I think Lyra is getting pushed above her level.
Becky forces her to raise her hand after. Becky makes her do it again and Lyra flips out on her, hitting her with a german and a nightwing.

Thoughts: Seth was the obvious winner by just looking at the line-up. It made the most sense as he was by far the biggest star. Fatu turning on Solo was the big story here though. The match was okay but we kind of had seen everything earlier already so this didn't stick out as much. It did go longer than it needed to and was a little boring at times.
Seth then poses with his crew after.
Wrestlemania is officially set for Las Vegas next year after we were told it was going to be in New Orleans. I don't think it's a big deal but I feel bad for the people who spent money assuming it would be in New Orleans and got screwed.

Thoughts: Truth returning was the big story here. He was "fired" in the last week. I don't know if it was a work all along (and if it was, what did it accomplish other than some short term fan takeovers and bad press?) or if WWE realized the backlash and fixed it (which I think is more likely), but Truth is back and everything is good again. Him jumping Cena also fit the story here. I watched this after it happened due to being worn out from World's Collide, so sadly, I kind of got spoiled by his return. The match was a good main but it did go a little long and could have been sped up a bit. What does this main event result mean in the long run? On paper, not very much, but I expect Cena/Cody to be the Summerslam main and I'm sure this will play into it.
