B-Fab vs Chelsea Green
Fab side headlock takeovers her then Green shoves her. Fab waistlock takedowns her. Fab rolls into an ankle lock on her then backslides her for 2. Fab crucifixes her for 2 then rolls her up for 2. Green slaps her then headbutts her.
Fab hits a side kick and dropkicks her. Fab hits a corner spear. Fab then sunset flips her out of the corner for 2. Fab boots Green off the apron then gets swept on the apron. Green then poses.
Green hits mounted punches inside. They mess up a sliding flatliner. Fab hits her in the gut and rolls her up for 2. Green pulls Fab's arms back.
Fab hits shots to the gut and uranage's her. Fab lariats her then slaps her. Fab spinning heel kicks her in the corner and facekicks her. Fab then hits a wraparound ddt for 2. Green hits a killswitch and wins.
Thoughts: Fab tried and did a little better than usual at some points but they did botch a move and it wasn't the cleanest match ever. Green won as expected. It could have been worse but Fab is slowly improving her game.
The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik) vs The LWO (Cruz del Toro and Joaquin Wilde)
They say this is their third Main Event match. Ivar catches Wilde's crossbody. Ivar cartwheels out of his charge and is dropkicked. Ivar misses a splash. Wilde top rope crossbodies Ivar. Erik goes in and flying double knees Wilde in the corner.
Wilde is slammed then Erik slams Ivar onto Wilde. Wilde jawbreakers Erik. Wilde is popped up and he spinning ddt's Ivar off of it. Cruz dropkicks Erik then takes a big facekick from Ivar.
We go to break and return. Ivar has a chinlock on Cruz. Ivar knees him in the gut then butt drops him in the corner. Ivar is up top and Cruz cartwheel enzugiri's him. We get a tower of doom spot with Erik essentially hurting his own partner off of it.
Erik hits forearms on Cruz then he exploders him. Erik goes up and over then titl-a-whirl gutbusters Cruz. Erik knees Cruz in the face. Cruz flying enzugiri's Erik.
Wilde flying forearms Ivar then he flying headscissors him. Wilde jumps up on Ivar's back and double legdrops the back of his neck. Erik's legs are split and he takes a double basement dropkick. Ivar takes a double kick from The LWO. Wilde is hiptossed into the ropes and he splashes Ivar off of it.
Cruz asai moonsaults Ivar for 2. Cruz is lariated over the top by Erik. Ivar spinning high kicks Wilde. Wilde takes a war machine and is pinned.
Thoughts: It wasn't their best effort and I do feel like The Raiders were not 100% here. What we got was okay. We didn't really get any big Wilde dives though. The Raiders won here but it doesn't really matter.
Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches her as usual with a bunch of recaps. Fab/Green wasn't that great but Fab continues to slowly improve. I just don't know if the ceiling is that high for her though. The tag match was fine but it was not either teams' best work and I felt like The Raiders were not 100% healthy in this. As usual, there's nothing you really need to see here and I wouldn't recommend it.
What I noticed in the B-Fab vs Chelsea match is B-Fab's pacing between moves was noticeably better. She didn't rush and she didn't seem lost like she was waiting for instruction for the next spot. As for her ceiling being limited, that's hard to say. Yeah, she's not like Tiffany, Sol, or Kelani who are supremely athletic and who have gone through the entire comprehensive and intensive PC curriculum, but at the same time working consistently with Natalya has helped A LOT and, like you said, you can finally see her slowly put things together. Also, she's only had 40 matches her entire tenure despite the fact she's been in the business a decent length of time but it's only been within the last year or so that she's started to wrestle more consistently, so she's on a much different learning curve. I like to use something I call 100% where after a wrestler has worked about 100 decently length and worked matches (this kind of excludes squashes, very short matches, battle royals, and tag team matches and multi person matches like triple threat or fatal 4 ways count as partials since the distribution of work varies from limited to almost nothing at all) I have a full sense of their ceiling.
