Match 1
Bayley & Finn Balor vs Alicia Fox & Jinder Mahal w/ Sunil Singh
(referee: John Cone)
Result: Bayley pins Alicia Fox after a Bayley to Belly
Time: 9:26
Match Thoughts
Good match. There wasn’t as much goofing around as previous matches in the MMC, but I liked it that way. There were some more problems within Mahalicia which cost them, and B’n’B looked quite good as a team.
Backstage
Monster Eclipse is ready for B’n’B next week.
Backstage
Kayla Braxton asks B’n’B about their match next week. Bayley says they’re ready, and next week they’ll do exactly what they did this week. Win.
Match 2
Jimmy Uso & Naomi vs Lana & Rusev
(referee: Mike Chioda; watching in the back: Asuka, The Miz)
Result: Naomi pins Lana with a schoolboy (after a distraction from Jimmy Uso)
Time: 8:49
Match Thoughts
For a dancing competition, this was a pretty fun wrestling match. I definitely smiled when Jimmy Uso pulled out the sunglasses for Rusev.
Selfie Promo
AJ Styles and Charlotte will show Fabulous Truth why they are phenomenal.
Selfie Promo
R-Truth and Carmella are still confused.
Show Impressions
As much as the first match focused more on wrestling than probably any MMC match so far, the second match tonight was the complete opposite. Still, they were both entertaining in their own ways.
Match of the Night
B’n’B vs Mahalicia
Though I liked both matches, I’d definitely watch this match again before Day One Glow versus Ravishing Rusev Day.
