Jey hits LA on the apron. Punk hits a go to sleep on Jey. LA tags himself in and pins Jey to win.

Thoughts: It was a shorter main and nothing too special. They have a PLE coming up and no one was trying to get hurt here. They didn't do anything too wild here and it was a pretty safe main. LA oddly got the win here which is becoming a rarity for him these days. I was shocked there was no shenanigans here from Seth's crew.

Overall thoughts: It was a longer show. They had a lot of women's action here. The crowd really liked Lynch/Max but Max had bad offense as she often does. Lyra/Perez was fine. We had a good match between Iyo and Sane that was probably the best thing on here. The trios match was alright and the main was really about as average as it gets. We also got a little more on Seth needing to beat Cody, some possible dissension between The Uso's, more of three-way Punk/LA/Jey feud and more of Iyo vs Asuka/Sane. Oddly, Rhea was not on this show and neither was Bron Breakker. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall as it was acceptable enough but not the best possible show and that was to be expected with the PLE coming up this Saturday.
