Baszler says Belair might be the fastest and strongest, but she&#8217;s not the smartest. It&#8217;s clear that Baszler is going to rip off Belair&#8217;s strong arms at Phoenix. Belair says the only things her arms will be doing is holding up the women&#8217;s title. Baszler dares Belair to fight her, but she says Belair is afraid.

I really liked what Jaoude did in this match. He frustrated Dijakovic early in the match with a lot of mat wrestling, and it was fun to watch. Jauode never hit any big moves, but he kept Dijakovic on the mat and off his game for a good part of the match. Dijakovic, on the other hand, did hit some big moves. He hit almost exclusively big moves. Jauode couldn&#8217;t survive the power of Dijakovic very long.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe War Raiders say that they respect Undisputed Era.

Ohno spent most of the first half of the match hitting Lee really, really hard. Lee absorbed the punishment and dealt some of his own with some agile and powerful offense. This was a good fight between two big guys. There were some shenanigans at the end, but I think it was necessary not only to continue the feud, but also to help keep Ohno as a dangerous and credible part of it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Matt Riddle runs down to the ring, but Ohno leaves the ring before Riddle gets there.

It felt a little like a character building episode, and that&#8217;s fine.
