Alexa Bliss&#8217; personality helped build interest in the match and gave it a good focal point. No single person was given a lot to do in the match, but for me Daria Berenato seemed the most interesting. Her style seems like it&#8217;s different from everyone else. Nikki Glencross seemed good, but she spent a little too much time yelling and posturing when she should have been attacking. Mandy Rose and Liv Morgan both seem like they need more work.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nWilliam Regal gives Samoa Joe instructions to behave during the upcoming interview.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe prophecy of fire speaks of Ember Moon.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nByron Saxton conducts and interview with Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Security has to remove him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis show felt a little like they ran out of taped matches and had to fill time with video packages.
