Reina Gonzalez was a good matchup for Niven.

Walter had an early advantage in the match, beating up Devlin. Devlin eventually mounted some offense by going after Walter&#8217;s legs. Walter&#8217;s mouth was bloody and his knee was hurt, but the champ used his punishing strikes to push back against Devlin. At that point in the match the finish seemed inevitable. Devlin had some offense here and there, but he struggled to deal with the size of Walter, and he was repeatedly floored by Walter&#8217;s strikes. I very much enjoyed this match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Pete Dunne comes out and heads to the ring.
