Thoughts: It was a shorter bout and rather average. There was nothing wrong or great about this as they mostly did basic stuff here.

Andrew Jackson talks to Promise Braxton in the back and says he had to suspend her. She gives him a bogus apology. Kiah Dream comes in. She says she's the queen of the south and lost her title. She says she needs a match and it's her show. Promise asks if she's high. Jackson says they should wrestle.

Two wrestlers walk in. they say they have finally made it to ROW. They name Fly Def then run into them. Fly Def asks if they think they can hang with them. Fly Def correct them when they are say they are 5x champs. They end up agreeing to a match and Fly def says they will see to it.

They lock up. PB backs her up in the corner. Kd wristlocks her. PB reverses it. KD kips up and down then armdrags her. PB superkicks her in the face. PB goes up and over and rolls over her.

KD hits lariats and slams her. KD legdrops her. PB overhead suplexes her. KD bottom rope cutters her. KD is dragon screwed while in the ropes. PB sharpshooters her and KD submits.

Thoughts: It was another shorter one that ended as it was starting to get going. It was fine with PB doing a dragon screw and then sharpshootering her off of it. 

PB won't let go of the hold after. The ref then reverses the decision. PB isn't happy and gets up in the ref's face. 

The female announcer hears Andrew Jackson and Promise Braxton arguing. He says we'll deal with this later. She then asks Andrew what happened and he has no comment.

Thoughts: This was fine. The heels worked over HV, Ori got in and even things up. All 4 fought and Better Together won. They did what they were supposed to and I had no issues with this one.

Trick Williams and AJ Francis vs Gino Medina and Zilla Fatu

A few shows ago, AJ interrupted Gino's match with Trick then Fatu came out and that's how we got this. Apparently Andrew Jackson came out and made this one after, though we didn't see it.

AJ backs up Fatu in the corner and is hit in the gut. Fatu hits more shots to the gut and corner enzugiri's him. Fatu belly to belly suplexes him for 2. Fatu forearms AJ in the corner and belly to belly suplexes him. Gino slingshot swantons AJ for 2. 

Gino step up enzugiri's AJ in the corner and lariats him over the top. Gino dropkicks him through the ropes. AJ's head is banged off the apron. Trick bangs Gino's head off the buckles and AJ corner splashes Gino. AJ hits Tennessee whiskey on Gino.

Trick slams Gino. Trick chops Gino in the corner. Gino takes an AJ splash then a Trick dropkick. AJ elbow drops Gino for 2. AJ chokes Gino on the middle rope. AJ chinlocks Gino. AJ blocks Gino's tag then Trick pulls Fatu down when Gino goes for the tag.

Fatu hits ridge hand chops and germans him. Trick gets his knees up on Fatu's splash. Fatu pop-up samoan drops Trick for 2.

Thoughts: I had wondered why Trick vs Gino didn't go long and it's because they were doing this after. I don't quite think they got the most out of this and they needed to speed up the last portion of it. It was fine and Zilla got put over some going at it with Trick and getting big reactions. AJ took the pin here which wasn't shocking. 

Overall thoughts: We had four matches here. None were bad as usual but nothing was great. I'd say the Fly Def tag match was the best match of the night here. I don't like how we got to Trick having a tag match on this show (his world title match got cut short to do this) but it was good to see him. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as the show was fine overall.
