Raquel immediately throws Aliyah and gives her cry face.

Raquel does most of the heavy lifting here, stopping Aliyah’s comeback on the outside with a boot

Raquel hits a clothesline and her one handed powerbomb thing for 3 on Jessi

The Way interview- Johnny storms off when McKenzie brings up KUSHIDA, Austin tells her we don’t say that name, it’s like a curse. Austin tries to explain what he told McKenzie, but he keeps saying the name KUSHIDA, pissing John further off.

GYV vs. KUSHIDA/Leon Ruff

GIbson: What makes you think your five minutes of tag experience can match up with our 15 years? That cup will have one name on it, GRIZLED YOUNG VETERANS, SSSSSSoon to be Dusty Cup Classic Winners

LDF interview- Regal comes raging in, Santos says I was here the whole night, ask my best friends. Regal says you WILL defend next week, leaves. Santos giggles, then notices a tarot card on his duffle bag, freaks out, starts saying the end is near! Then laughs and says happy hour ends at ten, throws the card. Confirmed, Kross new cruiserweight champ.

Toni Storm promo:

Io, when I want something, I make it happen. NXT UK, I took it from Rhea. Io, I beat you to win the whole thing. I wanted to be the first woman to win the DC, but you took that from me, and now I want to hurt you and ruin you, but more than anything, I wanna take the women’s title from you. Io comes out, then Mercedes attacks Io, picks up the title, this causes Storm to say hey man that’s mine, they all fight over it, Storm stands tall with hip attacks to Io, picks up the title.

Swerve interview

Why did you get involved with Bronson Reed’s face last week?

Swerve says Bronson gets in my face, so when I go to check him, it’s my fault? Everyone likes to point their finger at Swerve, all my life. So here’s an experiment, point your finger at me. Now how many fingers are pointing at YOU? Then he leaves.
