Lyra Valkyria vs Ivy Nile

We haven't had 3 new matches on Main Event sometime before 2021. Lyra comes out with Bayley and Ivy comes out alone.

They lock up and Ivy throws her down by the hair. They do a double knuckle lock. Lyra bridges. Ivy trips her and Lyra kips up. Lyra northern lights suplexes her for 2. Lyra cartwheels out of a monkey flip and does her taunt. Lyra backrolls her for 2. 

Lyra rocking horse's/campana's her. Ivy catches Lyra's crossbody and drops her gut first on the top rope. Ivy running lariats her. then pounds on her. Ivy fallaway slams her then flying kicks her in the corner.

Ivy suplexes her for 2. Ivy stomps on her, snapmares her and does just facelock. Lyra hits lariats and kicks. Lyra cartwheels off of her and enzugiri's her. Lyra dropkicks her through the ropes. Lyra top rope crossbodies her for 2. Lyra snapmares her and Ivy hits a corkscrew kick for 2. Ivy does an over the back neckbreaker. Lyra hits a cradle shock and pins her.

Thoughts: It ended at about the right time as they lost some of the momentum at the end. It was the usual match with Lyra doing all her usual offense. I can't say Ivy really stood out here or added much to this. It was just average.

Overall thoughts: We got 3 new matches here which is something that hasn't been seen since prior to 2021 on this show. That was nice. Frazer/Fenix was the match of the night and the girls' match was the weakest bout on here. There was nothing must see but the show is easy to watch and not a bad way to spend around 30 minutes. This was fine for a throwaway C-show.
