Yep, that's Natalya from WWE. She comes out with some security guys I guess and has a different outfit on than usual.

PB foot chokes her and drives her heard into the mat with her knee. PB does an octopus. PB pump kicks her then bodyscissors her. PB grounded sleepers her. Nat hits mounted shots then PB grounded guillotines her. PB meteora's her from behind for 2.
They trade shots. Nat hits punches and takes a knee to the gut. Nat headscissors her into a russian legsweep. Nat STO's her for 2. PB misses a corner charge then is dropped butt first on the mat. Nat running boots her for 2.
PB hits a doctor bomb for 2. Nat spinning lariats her for 2. PB sharpshooters Nat, taking her move. Nat rolls her out of it. Nat then gives her the finger and sharpshooters her. PB passes out and Nat wins.
Thoughts: It was good. The crowd was into it. Nat worked harder than usual and did completely different offense. PB stepped up as this was a big one and looked on par with Nat I liked PB stealing Nat's sharpshooter at the end and then getting put down by it. This did what it was designed to do and it was a success. Nat won as expected.
Nat offers to help her up and PB gives her the finger.
Overall thoughts: It was a good show. The opener was probably the weakest link on this but it wasn't awful. We had 5 matches here and none were bad. The main and the semi-main were the best things on here. It was a special show with only women's matches and we got two special matches here with The Moneybirds fighting each other and Natalya coming in to fight Promise Braxton. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 overall.
