Charlotte vs. Mia Yim
This is the first appearance for Yim. Charlotte catches her with a knee to the midsection. She hits a neckbreaker and then Natural Selection for the extremely quick victory here tonight. This was obviously just a quick squash to get ready for her defense next week against Sasha.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Out comes Sasha Banks and she asks Charlotte to hand her over her title. Sasha says she has more Flair in her one finger than her or daddy have in their entire body. Out comes Bayley and she insults her by calling her ratchet, which I guess I am too old to know what that means. She attacks Bayley and then attacks Charlotte. She gets to hold the title over Charlotte
It's time for another Vaudevillains old timey short.
Buddy Murphy & Wesley Blake vs. Vaudevillains
The Vaudevillains isolate Blake in their corner and work on the knee with frequent tags. Murphy is able to get a tag and hits a dropkick and some double knees on English. Gotch makes a blind tag and they hit a swinging neckbreaker for the victory. This really didn't do a great job featuring the challengers.
Match Rating: 1/2*
Bull Dempsey vs. Elias Sampson
Dempsey pancakes Elias and then hits the top rope headbutt for the victory. I am all in on Bull having quick matches if they are going to make me sit through them.
Match Rating: 1/4*
Baron Corbin vs. Steve Cutler
Corbin hits End Of Days and that's all. Great, thank you.
Match Rating: 1/4*
We get a final Kevin Owens vignette telling us some of the wrestlers that they picked over him.
Tyler Breeze & Tyson Kidd vs. Hideo Itami & Finn Balor
We get a short segment before the commercial where not a whole lot happens. After the break, Kidd goes to work on Balor. Kidd hits a nice guillotine leg drop with Balor draped on the bottom rope. Balor is able to hit the Pele kick and makes the tag to Itami. He hits a big dropkick and then a boot to the face of Breeze. He then hits a running dropkick to a seated Breeze. Balor hits a double stomp off the top rope on the back of Breeze. I hated the set up to that, but the move itself looked brutal. That's enough for Itami to pick up the victory. Balor grabs the mic and says he's bringing something that the Ascension have never seen before.
Match Rating: **
Adrian Neville is out to talk about his victory over Sami Zayn and that it wasn't how he wanted to win. He says that Zayn is too nice and that it's cost him. Out comes Zayn and he's a little fired up. Neville says that he respects him more than anyone on the planet, but Zayn says that it's not about respect and he slaps him. Zayn kind of reminds me of Jason Segel here (random, I know). He slaps him in the face and says he's taking his title.
This episode was kind of what I expected, which was a lot of nothing. The big show is next week and they have done a pretty good job of building the feature matches and tonight was just showing the talent off. It wasn't horrible, but it certainly wasn't anything I'll ever remember watching.
Overall Rating: 39%
