Thoughts: It was a decent bout here. Titus got his offense in early and stiffed Kofi some. Kofi then got his offense in and was able to pick up the win. Not a great, but it was a perfectly fine bout for this type of show.

Jerry Lawler interviews Kofi Kingston ever. Kofi says it feels great to win. He says WWE stars are the best athletes on the planet. He says anytime you can beat Titus, you take it. Lawler asks how it feels to put Rusev in his mirror. Kofi says he doesn't want to talk about Rusev. He asks if anyone will cook him a Southern style meal as he's hungry. He says he wants to go celebrate.

Torito is on the apron and Hornswoggle goes up to him. They argue and Horn piefaces him. Torito charges at him. Horn tries to go under the ring. Heath Slater tries to grab him, a Matador tries to grab him, Jinder grabs him then another Matador grabs him. All of them go under the ring. Everone but the midgets come out.

Torito then comes out with Hornswoggle's pants. Horn comes out without pants on and he is in his underwear. Horn is embarrassed, he runs and he trips. Los Matadores laugh. Sin enzugiri's Drew and top rope swantons him. Sin then pins Drew to win.

Thoughts: Well that was something. I didn't see that match coming. It was a bit goofy but it's Superstars and it doesn't matter. The shenanigans under the ring did take away from the match though and it did hurt what was a good looking match.

Torito puts on Hornswoggle's pants after and dances.

Overall thoughts: We had 2 new matches, 1 new interview and various hype packages and recaps. The show was okay and totally digestible. The opener was fine. The main was looking good but there was a bunch of shenanigans with people going under the ring and Hornswoggle losing his pants which took away from it. The new content was fun and this wasn't a bad watch.
