Result: Tyler Breeze wins via pinfall after a Supermodel Kick

Match Thoughts
Another good match between these two. It built on last week’s match and kept a very high pace throughout the entire duration.

Clips of Charlotte and Jericho confronting Sasha and Enzo, as well as part of the mixed tag match they had on RAW.
Match 2
The Ascension vs The Hype Bros
(referee: Mike Chioda)
Result: Mojo Rawley pins Viktor after a Hype Ryder
Time: 6:49 (1 break)
Match Thoughts
Good, fun match. This was a lot better than I expected it to be, and I thought the finish was great. The pace steadily grew, ending with a bit of a frenzied final few moments. I’d like to see a lot more of this.
Video
Replay of Orton hitting an RKO on Lesnar at RAW.
Show Impressions
Not a bad show. Both of the matches are definitely worth watching.
Match of the Night
The Ascension vs The Hype Bros
I’m not a big fan of either team, but this was a really good match. If they both start to do more stuff like this, then my opinion on them will have to change.
