Match Thoughts
I really liked this match. The wrestling was solid enough, but it was the antics of Alicia Fox that really made this match enjoyable. She was very talkative the entire time with the crowd and threw some nice mini-tantrums. Very fun to watch.

Time: 7:22 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good match. Fandango looked more serious than he’s been lately, and he had a very good chance to win this match. There were some good near falls in this solid match.

I liked the matches this week. One was fun and both were good. Nice show.
Match of the Night
Natalya vs Alicia Fox
I have to go with this match because Alicia made me laugh a few times. I’ll remember that match longer than I’ll remember Swagger taking on Fandango, even though that was a good match too.
