EC3 dominated with his size and strength, but a burst of offense late in the match led Alexander to a nice finish. The match was short, but it was probably at least as good as it would have been on RAW given the amount of time they would have been given on the main show.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of Reigns returning to RAW and of Vince McMahon making up the wild card rule.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of Reigns versus McIntyre from RAW.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of Kingston versus Bryan from RAW.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThis week&#8217;s Firefly Fun House is played again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Nikki Cross vs Peyton Royce<\/strong> w\/ Billie Kay (Women&#8217;s Tag Champs)<br \/>\n(referee: Darrick Moore)<\/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_69e73808e00b7','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_69e73808e00b7\" 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_69e73808e00b7\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Peyton Royce wins via pinfall with a bridging fisherman suplex<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 6:17<\/strong> (1 break)<\/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. Nikki Cross got some good offense in the middle of the match, but Peyton Royce looked strong in this match. Royce brought together some nice strings of attacks that we don&#8217;t get to see too often on the main shows. There were surprisingly no shenanigans in this match. I liked it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA replay of a portion of the triple threat main event from SmackDown Live.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThe matches were fine.
