Catanzaro started for her team, and she showed off her unique set of skills with a strong start.

The Street Profits had a great plan of attack that started before the opening bell. The Street Profits nearly won this match in seconds, and I would&#8217;ve been fine with that. However, after a fantastic start for Ford and Dawkins, the War Raiders used their size and strength to slow the match to a halt and take over control. The Street Profits fought exceptionally well, and Ford in particular stood out, but the champs are hard to beat when the odds are even. I really enjoyed this match and hope it&#8217;s a sign of good things to come for the Street Profits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Undisputed Era talks about stuff.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nJohnny Gargano prepares for his match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMia Yim says Shayna Baszler seems unstoppable.

I knew this would be a good match between these two guys, and they didn&#8217;t disappoint. In the last few minutes, Adam Cole came to the ring followed by Fish and O&#8217;Reilly. That stated some shenanigans that also involved Matt Riddle coming down to try to even the odds a bit for Gargano. The stuff towards the end of the match made the finish in the ring more of a storyline finish than anything else, but it was still interesting and well done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Matt Riddle and Johnny Gargano leave.
