Mahalicia might be my favorite team in the tournament so far. Alicia Fox makes everything entertaining, and her interactions with Mahal and Singh were great. Singh and Rush also got involved late in the match which I enjoyed. Lashley was probably the weakest part of the match, but he&#8217;s big and strong so he at least had a good presence. My favorite part might have been the push up contest though.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Selfie Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nBayley and Balor say they will make Mahalicia&#8217;s luck go from bad to worse.

The match started off fun and kind of funny with R-Truth and Carmella pausing for a dance break (which Asuka joined), but after a while it got more serious. Miz and R-Truth were pretty even throughout the match, but Asuka dominated Carmella whenever they were in the ring. I liked the finish here, and I liked how even though Miz was the only person people didn&#8217;t like, his team still got cheered whenever Asuka was in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Selfie Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRusev and Lana will crush Day One Glow next week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Selfie Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDay One Glow will bounce back next week and prove they are the strongest married couple in WWE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBoth matches were fun tonight.
