Talla Tonga vs Apollo Crews

Talla has the MFT's with him. AC hits forearms and takes a back elbow. Talla stomps him. AC flying shoulders him twice, goes for a third and is hit in the gut. Talla stomps him and is pulled out. AC then slingshot plancha's him. Talla's neck is pulled down over the top rope. Talla lariats AC. 

Talla corner lariats him then half-nelson slams him. Talla hits chest clubs and headbutts him in the head. They trade shots. AC superkicks him in the gut. AC flips out of a chokeslam. Talla misses a corner splash and hits his head off the post. AC corner splashes him on his back. AC enzugiri's him. 

AC dropkicks him in the knee and enzugiri's him. AC pump kicks him. AC standing moonsaults him on the back for 2. AC comes off the top and runs into a big boot. Talla chokeslams him and pins him.

Thoughts: Talla got the win as expected. I was surprised it wasn't  more of a squash. It wasn't that interesting. I did like the spot where Crews came off the top and got hit with a facekick though.

We get some clips of the Rhea/Iyo vs Kabuki Warriors tag match from Raw. We then see clips of Dupri vs Lynch from the same show.

We see a CM punk interview from Raw. We also see Je'Von Evans sign his Raw contract, which happened on Raw but wasn't shown.

El Grande Americano is with his buddies. Rayo side headlocks Erik. Erik shoulders him over. Erik is pushed into an enzugiri. Erik takes a double flying headbutt. Ivar atomic drops Bravo. Ivar takes double superkicks to the gut. Ivar hits a double lariat. Los Americanos are caught off the buckles and lawn darted into each other.

We go to break and return. Rayo is put on the top rope and Ivar chops him down. Rayo falls outside. Ivar misses a corner bronco buster. Rayo knee drops Ivar's arm. Bravo hits shots on Ivar's shoulder/arm. Rayo kicks Ivar in the arm. Ivar gets his legs split twice. 

Bravo superkicks Ivar for 2 then chinlocks him. Bravo gets on his back. Erik comes in and the ref stops him. Ivar is double stomped on in the corner. Ivar fights off the 1v2 in the corner. Ivar butt drops Bravo out of the corner. Erik is tagged in. Erik hits forearms on Rayo then release half-nelson suplexes him. Erik hits a huge muso on Bravo then does a nasty looking pop-up knee to the back of the head of Rayo.

Erik knees Bravo in the face. Ivar spinning heel kicks Rayo. Rayo is popped up but avoids a slam. Grande headbutts Ivar. Ivar takes a russian leg sweep + top rope diving headbutt and is pinned.

Thoughts: Los Americanos didn't get much of a reaction here. Erik hit a nice muso and a nasty knee to the back of the head. The Raiders never really got to throwing around Los Americanos and it wasn't the most interesting of matches.

We see clips of AJ/Gunther's confrontration from Raw. We then see some of CM Punk/Bron Breakker from Raw.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual here along with various Raw replays. Neither of the 2 matches were that good and I wouldn't recommend this one.
