Jaxson Ryker dominated most of the match with some slow offense, then Breeze found some openings near the end of this short match. This whole match really just seemed like a setup for the post-match shenanigans.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, all three of the Forgotten Sons beat up Tyler Breeze.

Reed&#8217;s size allowed him to dominate the first part of this match. Grimes couldn&#8217;t figure out how to take Reed down, and Reed was able to do a lot of damage while Grimes tried to figure out the best way to attack. Late in the match, Grimes started hitting some strikes that built up and gave Grimes a chance at a comeback.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nEarlier today, Matt Riddle challenged Killian Dain to face him in a match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nShayna Baszler heads to the ring. Baszler says she got Mia Yim&#8217;s message. However, Yim&#8217;s attacks on Duke and Shafir are things that professional athletes don&#8217;t do. Baszler will put Yim to sleep, because street rats don&#8217;t survive long in her world.<\/p>\n<p>Mia Yim comes out to the stage and heads to the ring. Yim asks Baszler if she&#8217;s scared. Yim says she has nothing to lose and everything to gain, so she&#8217;s going to bring a fight that Baszler isn&#8217;t ready for. Baszler tells Yim that everyone is going to see that she is nothing but street trash.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nWilliam Regal tells Candice LeRae that he told Io Shirai to not show up tonight.

They was these guys wrestled, it felt like there was real animosity. They were hitting each other really hard, sometimes in messy, realistic-looking exchanges. The match went back and forth all the way to the end, and it was super fun all the way through. I question the legality of the move that ended the match, but I suppose there are worse things that have come to be legal in WWE matches over the years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Velveteen Dream sneaks into the ring.
