It was fairly even throughout, though Purrazzo definitely looked more in-control and polished with her moves. I would have liked to see this match go on longer, because as it is it felt kind of short. Even so, I liked it, and it was a good first match for Purrazzo. Seeing her emotional reaction after the match was nice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nProfiling Aerial Monroe and Zeuxis.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nNatalya is in the crowd.

Monroe and Zeuxis never really felt like they got completely on the same page. Some moves didn&#8217;t look like they quite came together, they both ducked when they were running the ropes, and shoulders weren&#8217;t pinned down completely most of the time. I think Monroe is fun and Zeuxis has at least one good move I saw, but hopefully we&#8217;ll see more in the next round.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nGetting to know Reina Gonzalez and Kacy Katanzaro.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSarah Logan and Liv Morgan are in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mae Young Classic 2018 First Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kacy Catanzaro vs Reina Gonzalez<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Tom Castor)<\/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_69e6182daa4a6','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_69e6182daa4a6\" 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_69e6182daa4a6\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kacy Catanzaro wins via pinfall with a wheelbarrow victory roll<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:46<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. Kacy Catanzaro can do some very fun things. I&#8217;m not sure what she can really do as far as putting together a match though, because this match mostly just featured Catanzaro getting beat up until she managed to find space to do a dive or flip. It worked for her this time, but I feel like it might wear thin. I think Reina Gonzalez did well for her role in this which was to play Goliath to Catanzaro&#8217;s David.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nGetting reacquainted with Mercedes Martinez and Ashley Rayne.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Undisputed Era is in the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Mae Young Classic 2018 First Round Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Ashley Rayne vs Mercedes Martinez<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Jessika Carr)<\/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_69e6182daa4fc','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_69e6182daa4fc\" 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_69e6182daa4fc\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Mercedes Martinez wins via pinfall after a fisherman buster<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:32<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Martinez looked good in this. Rayne was fine, but it looked like she was doing her best to keep up with Martinez at times. There was one move early in the match that felt like it didn&#8217;t go as planned, but it still worked really well for the match. Late in the match it felt a little strange when Rayne hit a diving cross body but didn&#8217;t go for the pin, but that was really the only thing I could nitpick. I liked this, and I&#8217;m very much looking forward to the second round match for the winner of this one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nI think week one was better, but there was still some fun to be had on tonights show.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ashley Rayne vs Mercedes Martinez<\/strong><br \/>\nUnsurprisingly, this was the most compelling match of the night, and it had the best action.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Official Results:?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/maeyoungclassic\/2018-09-12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/maeyoungclassic\/2018-09-12<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mercedes Martinez, Deonna Purrazzo, Ashley Rayne and others begin their journey in the 2018 Mae Young Classic in first round action!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2116,297,622],"tags":[648,2138,2141,345,718,786,1660,678,549,1478,671,1929,2139,1149,719,677,2117,2118,2121,2212,87,294,2136,2140,451,801,170,1481,1133,1761,1477,7,2137],"class_list":["post-3983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mae-young-classic","category-show-results","category-wwe","tag-adam-cole","tag-aerial-monroe","tag-ashley-rayne","tag-beth-phoenix","tag-bobby-fish","tag-cedric-alexander","tag-da-brewer","tag-deonna-purrazzo","tag-eddie-orengo","tag-florida","tag-full-sail-university","tag-jessika-carr","tag-kacy-catanzaro","tag-kayla-braxton","tag-kyle-oreilly","tag-liv-morgan","tag-mae-young-classic","tag-mae-young-classic-2018","tag-mae-young-classic-first-round-match","tag-mercedes-martinez","tag-michael-cole","tag-natalya","tag-priscilla-kelly","tag-reina-gonzalez","tag-renee-young","tag-roderick-strong","tag-samoa-joe","tag-sarah-logan","tag-tom-castor","tag-undisputed-era","tag-winter-park-fl","tag-wwe","tag-zeuxis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3983"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3983\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3986,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3983\/revisions\/3986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
