Match 1
American Alpha vs The Vaudevillains
(referee: Dan Engler)
Result: Chad Gable pins Aiden English after Grand Amplitude
Time: 4:00
Match Thoughts
Good match, but short. Jordan started, Gable came in and dominated for a little while before getting in trouble, then Jordan came in to clean up. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

Match Thoughts
Pretty good match. It felt uneventful, but Crews had some impressive moves.
Video
From RAW, Seth Rollins had to face both Jericho and Owens in a triple threat match.
Show Impressions
A pretty average show. It wasn’t bad, but if you miss this one you wouldn’t be missing much.
Match of the Night
American Alpha vs The Vaudevillains
I wanted to like the main event more, but I just couldn’t get invested in it. Crews is an impressive athlete, but his matches aren’t necessarily as good as one would hope. This tag match wasn’t anything special, but it was solid and entertaining.
