The girls then head to the back to fight which never happens. Pink is sent into a table. Linds hits Swag with a cone in the back and the match is ruled a no contest. The girls fight backstage and refs break it up as the show ends.

Thoughts: It was hard to follow with so much going on and it was a bit hard to structure since anytime someone was thrown out, they had to be thrown back in. We had our first brawl to the back in WOW here as well. I thought they did a good job putting over that this was a wild feud that can't be contained.

Overall thoughts: The opener was average and went a bit longer than expected. I liked Animal Instinct vs The Mighty Mights. The Classmaster and Holidead didn't really click. The main was indeed a wild lumberjack match with the four fighting and never really letting off. They ended up brawling to the back and the match was ruled a no contest. I don't know where things go from here but it sure seems like a cage match is being set up. I liked the show overall and they really made me want to see what happens with the Swag/Pink vs MSH feud. We still have no word on what happens with the WOW Title though and I'm thinking we will have to wait until the next set of tapings to find out. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10, mostly for the main and The Mighty Mights tag.
