Booker T remains calm and lets The Revival talk themselves out.

Match 1
Andrade w/ Zelina Vega vs Humberto Carrillo
(referee: Eddie Orengo)
Result: Humberto Carrillo wins via pinfall after a second-rope inverted hurricanrana and a diving moonsault
Time: 12:38
Match Thoughts
Great match! I think these two men wanted to steal the show tonight. Andrade got his eye busted open pretty early in the match, and that gave the fight a more serious tone. It felt like Andrade was desperate at times which is something we don’t normally see. This was probably Carrillo’s best match on the main roster so far. There were some great chains and lots of quick, agile strikes and throws. Once again, Andrade has found someone he can wrestle over and over while making every match fun and interesting.
