Match 1
Alicia Fox vs Dana Brooke
(referee: Rod Zapata)
Result: Alicia Fox wins via pinfall after a scissors kick
Time: 5:11
Match Thoughts
This wasn’t great. Whenever Dana Brooke had control (which was more than half of the match), the match dragged. Alicia Fox brought the energy up when she took control. The wasn’t super exciting, but I liked the outcome.
Video
From RAW, Paul Heyman got speared by Goldberg.

Match 2
Jinder Mahal vs Curtis Axel

Match Thoughts
This was okay. Axel brought a lot of energy to last part of the match.

Show Impressions
This wasn’t a great show. Pretty forgettable if not for Curtis Axel getting a rare victory.
