NWA Women's Tag Titles - Kylie Paige (c) vs Missa Kate and Ruthie Jay

KP's partner Ella Envy is out and she has to defend the titles alone. KP nails Kate on the apron to start. Jay suplexes then does a sitout gordbuster on Ken for 2. KP misses a corner charge and Kate slams her. Kate elbow drops her then rolls into a handstand senton for 2.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one. At least Kate and Jay didn't lose clean here but it was a normal match and not that great. The announcers talked about it being bogus that Paige had to defend the tag titles alone and I agree.

The ref argues with Kylie after. Ms. Starr comes down and trades with Ken.

Thoughts: It wasn't perfect but Starr tried and I was alright with this. The ending was a bit cheap with KP faking an injury to win.

Thoughts: It didn't get a ton of time. What we got was alright but nothing too special here. Knox and Murdoch won as expected.

Eric Smallz then comes out and punches Murdoch in the nuts. He then double jump moonsaults him. Knox then crossbodies Smallz. 

The Southern Six are interviewed. Silas says they don't care who they are facing on the next show as they are the most important part of the join. They suggest names for the show with their names in it. Alex says the folks in Ft. Lauderdale aren't ready for them. He says their opponents should be grateful for them.

Thoughts: It was a bit slower, didn't have much heat and maybe needed a bit more time. I thought they did a good job establishing that Jax was a lot more powerful than EC. EC's headlock drivers didn't look good here which is a problem since this was the finish.

Jax and EC stare down after and shake hands.

Overall thoughts: They had 4 matches and about 42 minutes here so they were cutting it close. All 4 matches were on the shorter end and nothing was that great. The first two matches had lame finishes and the last two matches didn't get enough time. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 as it was an average episode.
