Thoughts: It got a lot of time and was also a slower paced match. I was expecting a bit more flying and craziness. Kevin did win as expect. It was acceptable but not quite the junior dream match it could have been.

Thoughts: I wasn't that interested in this. I like both guys, but the outcome wasn't in doubt and it took a long time to get there. Both guys could have been more effective here. Jake should have thrown him around more and AP should have been stiffer and shown more spirit.
Maya World does a video. She says she's been waiting her whole career to face Mercedes Mone. Mone says she knows she was on her poster. She says she's her boss.

Thoughts: Ath and Mone's team won as expected. Maya's team got some offense in before going down. They tried and it was acceptable but this didn't do a lot to sell me on Maya winning tomorrow.
Ath beats up Hyana after like she always does. Mone puts her in a crossface and Ath grabs a half-crab. Maya sends the heels out and asai moonsaults them.
Overall thoughts: I didn't like this show at all. It was basically nothing but random matches with predictable outcomes. This was the definition of filler and it was boring to sit through. There was also almost no starpower on this one. Dez/Knight was the match of the night. I'd give this a 4 out of 10 just for the complete lack of effort or care put into this show. This was below average.
