⭐️Kayhan: “I likes the intertwining of storylines here. We had the women’s Crown Jewel title here although there really wasn’t much reason for it. No interaction between Nia and Liv. But I liked how Liv & Raquel got involved with Damage CTRL here and possible Lash and Jakara. I liked the tease of Liv and Raquel stepping up to Lash and Jakara just before Rhea’s music hit.”
