Tyler Breeze vs. Angelo Dawkins
Dawkins has a lot of charisma for a job guy here. Breeze is a little bit more aggressive here and as I am typing that, he quickly hits the Beauty Shot for the easy victory. After the match, he dumps Dawkins out of the ring and grabs the mic. He announces that he has submitted his music video for the Academy Awards in the documentary category and says he's going to play it again. Out comes Adrian Neville instead. Breeze makes a Hobbit joke and Neville fires back about getting a Snapchat from Breeze's mom. They start to brawl and Breeze runs to the back.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Natalya tells us that she's excited that Adam Rose is back tonight. Tyson Kidd makes fun of him and Natalya tells him to enjoy his life for once. Kidd challenges him to a match tonight.
They announce that a #1 contender's tag team tournament will start next week. Oh, and Tyler Breeze has left the building.
Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch
Becky's entrance is pretty cool. We get a quick-paced opening minute or so, with Lynch showing a lot of fire. Charlotte catches a kick and goes to work on Becky's leg. Becky makes her comeback with some clotheslines and a leg drop. Charlotte catches her leg again and is able to hit Natural Selection for the victory. I'm surprised this didn't go a little longer, as they were having a good match.
Match Rating: **
Mojo Rawley is looking for a partner is for the tournament. In walks Bull Dempsey and he says that as much as it pains him to say, he'll be Mojo's partner.
The Ascension vs. Mac Miles & Steve Cutler
302 days as the champs and I honestly can't remember one match they had. The champs hit a double shoulder tackle on Cutler. They hit Fall Of Man and that's all. We've seen this 100 times. They grab the mic and say nothing.
Match Rating: 1/4*
CJ Parker gets a vignette about saving the Earth and Xavier Woods.
Mojo Rawley & Bull Dempsey vs. The Mechanics
Hey, look it's the best tag team in wrestling. Rawley is just such a one note character and he never adapted to anything else. The Mechanics show off their trademark teamwork early on and isolate Mojo. Mojo fights back and hits a splash. He tags in Bull and he hits the Bulldozer for the victory. The Mechanics showed a lot of promise in a short amount of time here, so of course they lost.
Match Rating: 3/4*
Bayley says that she's happy the BFFs broke up because they have been mean to her. She reminds us that she has beaten Charlotte, so of course she walks in. Charlotte tells her that it would be in her best interest for Bayley not to mutter her name again.
Adam Rose vs. Tyson Kidd
I'm not sure I've ever seen a long Adam Rose match. Rose hands Natalya a sucker and she eats it. Kidd takes it away and isn't happy. Rose backs Kidd into the corner and stomps in his chest. Rose then drops Kidd off his shoulders and onto the ring apron. He follows that up with a baseball slide into the commercial break. Kidd shifts the momentum with a clothesline over the top rope. Kidd comes out and rams Rose into the ring post with authority not once, but twice. After some lengthy rest holds, Rose fires back and hits a big clothesline in the corner. Rose hits a spinebuster for a 2 count. Kidd fires back and snaps Rose's neck on the road and hits a kick to the face from the apron. Kidd gets distracted by Natalya and it allows Rose to get an inside cradle and steal the victory. Natalya goes to check on him and Kidd isn't happy. The match was just okay.
Match Rating: **
This was a pretty ho hum episode despite Becky Lynch and the future FTR looking really good in defeat. They're kind of in a holding pattern here waiting for the next TakeOver to occur.
