They lock up and go into the corner. RC shoves her and wristlocks her. Gigi rolls out and headflips out. Gigi wristlocks her. RC side headlocks her then shoulders her over. Gigi flying headscissors her then running dropkicks her. Gigi sliding d's her and RC rolls out. Gigi is swept on the apron and superkicked.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and just average. Gigi kind of won out of nowhere and Chanel controlled most of this.

Josiah Jean rides in a car and goes to a house. Two guys ask the boss if he's got a minute and it's AJ Francis. AJ takes offense at him bringing a girl with him and wants the girl Tiana Sway out. AJ tells Sway to make her case. She says they should make House Money even bigger. AJ says House Money is the biggest thing in ROW and Texas. She says how about House Money Japan, Miami and New York? AJ gives them money and says it was a pleasure doing business with them. He then allows her to join. AJ asks Jean where Quentin Wynters is and Jean says he's doing the thing he was asked to do.

Matty Ice is interviewed. He says he has drawn the short straw. He says he's facing Savage King tonight, the gatekeeper of GLORY. He says King will think twice about testing The Ice.  

Matty Ice vs Savage King

Ice side headlocks him then shoulders him over. They block each other's moves and stand off. Ice side headlocks him and shoulders him over twice. King boots him. Ice shoulders him over then slams him. 

King pushes him into the buckles and lariats him. King then hits mounted punches. King suplexes him for 2 then chinlocks him. Ice headbutts him. King spinebusters him for 2. Ice hits punches. They hockey fight. 

King gutwrench powerslams him. Ice slingshots him in and hits lariats. Ice rock bottoms him. Ice elbow drops him. Ice sunset flips him and gets the pin.

Thoughts: It was a little choreographed early on the hiptoss and slam reversals. They had the go even for a decent portion of this one. King lost but he's been losing a ton lately so it wasn't surprising. It was acceptable.

King nails Ice from behind after then drops him on his chest and gut. King throws chairs in the ring and chairs Ice's back. King goes to Pillmanize him and refs stop him. 

Thoughts: King has never really gotten to do anything for as long as I've been watching so hopefully this gets him going in any direction.

Eli belly to belly suplexes him into the buckles. Eli hits a great top rope moonsault and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a super athletic match as expected with tons of flying and cool spots. The selling wasn't the best here but the action was strong. I see no reason why Eli Knight isn't on TV right now as he's on the level of someone like a Leon Slater and likely would get a ton of bookings if more people saw him. Oro did his usual stuff here along with a couple of new spots. I liked it, but had they sold a bit more, I think it would have been better.

They shake hands and hug after. 

Overall thoughts: The first two matches were about average. However, they went all out in the main and we had an athletic, high flying match with Eli Knight and Oro. The selling could have been but the action was good and it was a fun match. It might be worth a look as Eli impressed and hit some impressive spots. I'd give this a high 5 out of 10 as the main really helped this one but it still was mostly average overall. It wasn't bad or anything though.
