Thoughts: I thought Zar had a shot here as it would help her and she won. It didn't get a ton of time which limited some of it. Zar overdid the spears a little here and TP did a lot of flying with her busting out a new coast to coast dropkick. What we got was fine and I'm curious as to where things go here for both girls.

Overall thoughts: The wrestling kind of evened itself out here with some good, bad and and average matches. We got a big title change at the end with Zaria winning the Women's North American Title. The Hill/Angels pageant was what you would expect and both guys did alright with that. I'd give it a slight 6 out of 10 overall and the show was okay.
