Shotzi low topes SB outside and knocks Lady over in the process. Lady goes up top and corkscrew moonsaults SB. Lady pins SB.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Lady win in her debut. The match was acceptable. They cut away during the finish and I think Lady may have landed badly on SB. The work wasn't anything too great but it was better than it could have been.

Corinne Joy says she's making her debut and will make sure it's the only thing anyone is talking about.

We see the same video from last week of Matt Riddle telling Killer Kross he owes him. Kross asks what he owes him. Matt says he will know when the time is right. 

We get a video on CONTRA Unit.

AA flips over Joe then flying headscissors him. AA 2nd rope moonsaults Joe outside. Wolfgang distracts AA on the apron. Joe headbutts AA in the chest. AA springboards and is euro'd in mid-air. AA rolls him up for 2. Joe giant swings him.

AA is catapulted into the buckles. Joe double jump twisting crossbodies him. Joe john woo's him. Joe spinning lariats him and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a bit one-sided and Joe won as expected. What we got was acceptable with Joe's offense looking good and Alan getting a few things in before going down.

Glasgow Boys On Top are interviewed by Rich Bocchini. Rich says rumors say GBOT took out Trevor Lee. Joe says he did take Trevor Lee out. He says he has a surprise and says he's the one who beat up Teddy Long as well. Labron Kozone then comes out and security tries to stop him. Kozone pulls a chair out and GBOT tell security to keep Kozone back. Joe says it will be GBOT on top.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Kross isn't the most exciting guy and Kojima is a little bit more limited than he used to be. I think they got a decent final result out of this and it's not like it was bad or anything. Kross won as expected here.

They bow to each other after. Kross gets on the mic after and Matt Riddle comes out. Kross says Kojima has been an inspiration and it's an honor to face him. He asks him to come back. Riddle holds up Kross' arm. Riddle then says, "and remember, you owe me". Kross carries out Scarlett on his shoulder.

Overall thoughts: We only had 3 matches here. All 3 were acceptable but none of them were must see. I'd say the main was the best thing on here, but they were all pretty close quality wise. There wasn't a ton going on otherwise and this definitely could have used some more promos or backstage segments from some of the other wrestlers. I'd give it 5 out of 10 and say it was acceptable overall.
