Skyler says his fingerprints are on it and he might want to check for more. Dijak asks why he's helping him. Skyler says his partner has outlived his forgiveness. He says he likes starting fires and watching them get bigger until nobody can stop it. Dijak says he's sick and Skyler says he's been sick his entire life. He says he has an itch in the back of his head that won't go away. He says when he sees the WXM Title, the itch goes away. Skyler says he'd hurt anyone to wear it and would burn everything. Dijak says he has work to do.

The Zamindar Gang head to the ring and Lady Katherine is asked why there's so much security. Katherine says they saw how weak security was and don't want to take chances in case Raj shows up. 

Kaptaan and Veera vs The Burner Brothers (Ricky and Scotty Burner)

Ricky is the bald one and Scotty has the long hair.

Rick shoves Veera down then side headlocks him. Rick shoulders him over. Veera jumps up and is powerbombed down. Rick chops Veera hard then slaps him. Rick gorilla press throws Veera into a Scott open hand shot.

Veera's head is banged off the buckles and he is chopped. Scott knocks Kap off the apron. Veera hits shots on Rick then Rick lariats Veera down. Veera is thrown into a german from Rick. Rick gets a 2 count on him.

Veera chops his opponents. They try to sandwich him but hit each other. Kap comes in and hits forearms and kicks on Rick. Kap basement dropkicks him. Kap hits a corner spear, an apron enzugiri then a springboard diving lariat. Kap facekicks Rick. 

Rick blocks Kap's springboard and slams him on the floor. Veera is double thrown into a neckbreaker + sitout powerbomb and Veera is pinned.

Thoughts: It was a little one-sided but the faces got a comeback in before going down. The Burner's aren't the prettiest but they hit hard and do come across as tough guys. Veera really got thrown here. I was fine with this.

Jeet wants to talk to Fateh and muscles his security guards around. Bobby B interrupts and says to let the guards go. Bobby says Fateh says he wouldn't come unless he could have his own security. Jeet says WXM has turned into a circus.

The interviewer talks to Zack Sabre Jr. Zack says he's having a great time and says WXM is impressive. He says the fans have been amazing and he will come back.

XWM Heavyweight Title Tournament - Guru vs Mecca

Mecca has Fateh's guards with him. 

They lock up and Guru is pushed back. Mecca pulls him down off the next lock up. Guru side headlocks him. Mecca shoulders him over. Guru spin kicks him in the head and corner dropkicks him twice. One of the guards gets in the ring. Mecca gains the edge off of it and drops Guru with a punch.

Mecca foot chokes him then corner hip attacks him several times. Mecca corner splashes him for 2. Guru hits shots to the gut. Mecca pop up samoan drops him for 2. Guru hits leg kicks and punches. Guru hits forearms. Mecca headbutts him. 

Guru corner euros him then bulldogs him. Guru backdrops him. Guru topes Mecca and the guards outside. Guru dropkicks Mecca into the steps. Guru top rope elbow drops him and pins him.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. Mecca threw him around and squashed him with splashes. Guru did some flying and eventually picked up the win. It was acceptable but it went a little long and I think the first half of this needed more.

Kanji does a problem. She says her dad is Indian and his family liked wrestling. She says she watched wrestling with her family and her and her cousins said they wanted to be wrestlers. She says her dad passed away before she started wrestling but her grandparents were happy to see her wrestling. She says she's so proud to be here. She says she wanted to come here and show that everyone an unknown wrestler says is wrong about India.

JD Lee is laughing at stuff on his phone. He sees Ikemen Jiro dancing with people. He tells Jiro to stop and says this is stupid. He says Jiro's here for a fight. Jiro dances again and he says he's still stupid. He pulls Jiro away.

Thoughts: It was a decent tag bout here with Jack and AG trying to be friendly towards each other and Robbie X being a bit more heelish. Akki wasn't bad as the undercard face and I thought this worked out well. 

The four stand in the ring after. Akki offers a handshake and X shakes his hand. Jack and AG shake hands. Jack kicks him in the nuts. X dropkicks Akki out. X then takes off Jack's protective face mask. Zack Sabre Jr. comes out and saves AG. Zack euros the heels and throws AG out. Venomous then attacks Zack.

Skyler is told Samuray del Sol is looking for him. Neel then grabs Skyler and throws him into chairs. He chokes him and demands he tell him who the masked man was. Skyler tells him to ask Dijak as he already told him. Neel leaves and Skyler laughs.

B2B (Regner & Suraj) vs Fateh The Zamindar and Dev

Suraj is the smaller one with the braids. 

Fateh has his whole crew and guards with him. Dev and Fateh attack B2B before the bell rings. Fateh drops Suraj. Suraj cartwheels out of a wristlock and is tripped. Suraj headscissors Fateh then corner splashes him. Suraj rolls Dev into Fateh. Suraj dropkicks Dev.

Suraj top rope plancha's Dev and overshoots a bit. Reg's tope is caught by Fateh then Fateh superkicks him. Suraj is sent into the rails. Fateh flying cutters Reg and pins him.

Thoughts: Dev's gotta work on his work a little as he comes off a bit clumsy. It was acceptable but nothing too special. B2B needed to do a little more here and the finish could have been better.

Raj gets behind Dev and Fateh while wearing security gear. He clears them away with a night stick and beats up the guards. Raj cobra clutch slams a guard and Raj stands tall as the heels yell at him.  

Overall thoughts: The wrestling was fine here. Nothing was bad. The tag title match was the best match on the show and had some good stories in it. Raj returned at the end despite being banned which wasn't too shocking. As always, they have some decent in-ring action along with some good storylines and they just get wrestling. These shows are always easy and fun watches and this was no exception. I'd give it a 6 out 10 and I thought it was good.
