I loved the comic book graphics to end the opening hype video.
TONI STORM VS. ZOEY STARK
Starting off with Toni Storm and Zoey Stark so hopefully they live up the opening streak for shows lately.
A Slap from Toni to start it off and it lights Zoey’s fire and she takes it to Toni.
The Crowd, like us, is dead for Zoey and actually reacting for Toni Storm including when Toni sandwiches Zoey’s head against the steel steps with her rear end.
Jumping Enziguri from Zoey Stark leaves both women on the mat as we head to our first commercial break.
Slug fest back and forth as we come back from commercial with Zoey getting the advantage after a nice kick to Toni in the corner.
Toni is looking out on her feet until she counters into a suplex and a storm zero but Zoey kicks out before the three. Toni is in shock.
Toni Storm just hits a move that drops Zoey on her head to get the pinfall victory with a clean win.
Post-match, lights go out and Franky Monet debuts in the arena to announce her in ring debut next week.

Kross puts over how bad the stomp by Balor hurt his chest.
Balor says staying down is how you die and he isn’t dead yet.
Great to hear from Pat McAfee putting over the show instead of himself. It is when he is being used best.
Paul Heyman puts over it is too close to call to make a spoiler on who will win while still putting over Reigns. Good stuff.
JAKE ATLAS VS. CAMERON GRIMES
Who expects Ted Dibiase to distract Grimes to allow Atlas to get the win in this one.

LEGADO DEL FANTASMA (JOAQUIN PHOENIX & RAUL MENDOZA) VS. TIMOTHY THATCHER & TOMASSO CIAMPA
Joaquin Wilde sends Ciampa to the outside who just then pulls Joaquin to the outside too. Ciampa ends up sending Phoenix into the barricade.
Was wondering why some of the rules were not being enforced but then I saw who the referee was for the match. The dude only likes to follow certain rules.
Black gloves are on and the blood is really pouring out of the face of Raul Mendoza now.
We get a bleep as Thatcher pulls Phoenix into the ring so we can have a double submission spot that is countered into a double pin attempt but no count is made since it is illegal.
Everyone is down as we got to another commercial break.

Thatcher gets a hot tag and is now taking it to both members of Legado Del Fantasma before concentrating just on Mendoza.

Thatcher comes in the minute Mendoza goes for the pinfall which I like and should be done any time they can.

With the referee distracted Grizzled Young Veterans come out to take out Ciampa allowing Legado Del Fantasma to get the pinfall victory.

Loved that Johnny Gargano darts for the door immediately after the bell rings. Fits his character perfectly.
Sweet moonsault springing off the top rope by Johnny but doesn’t keep Reed down long enough.
