Match 1
“The Magical Girl” Yuka Sakazaki & Riho vs Penelope Ford w/ Kip Sabian & Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.
(referee: Mike Posey)
Result: Britt Baker submits Riho with Lockjaw
Time: 7:45
Match Thoughts
Good match. Sakazaki was looking for revenge after Baker recently broke one of her teeth in the ring. Sakazaki and Riho had tons of energy and took the fight to Baker and Ford, but Kip Sabian ended up stalling their momentum multiple times throughout the match. This was fun.
Show Impressions
This was a fine show. It felt like a bonus episode since there was already a Dark after this past week’s Dynamite, so having only one match tonight wasn’t a problem. Plus, the match was good.
