Both teams started doing what they do best, but after a while the Lucha Bros. managed to make it their style of match. Rey Fenix had an extended segment towards the middle of the bout where he took on both members of FTR by himself. That led to FTR trying to get tricky and find ways to cheat, but their efforts mostly didn&#8217;t succeed. The Lucha Bros. looked fantastic tonight. This was exciting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Tay Conti &amp; Anna Jay &amp; Ruby Soho vs The Bunny &amp; Penelope Ford &amp; &#8220;The Native Beast&#8221; Nyla Rose<\/strong> w\/ Vickie Guerrero<br \/>\n(referee: Paul Turner)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f37c2311eb2','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f37c2311eb2\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f37c2311eb2\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Result: Nyla Rose pins Anna Jay after the Beast Bomb <\/b>(and a punch with brass knuckles from The Bunny)<br \/>\n<strong>Time: 10:21<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<br \/>\n<\/strong>Good match. This was really a glorified preview for Nyla Rose versus Ruby Soho, and the two of them had a nice, though short, sequence in the middle of the match.

Hook was extremely aggressive with holds and suplexes, and his had an arrogant demeanor that showed great confidence. Also, the crowd was super into seeing him wrestle for the first time. Fuego Del Sol got a few moves in, but this match was all about Hook. He definitely seems like a new incarnation of his father Taz.
