⭐️Kayhan: Nothing about Solo? I mean, Im impressed with Jacob, but they just punted away on this night. lots of time for this on this show but no story progression…. LA Knight disrespecting Jacob & Tama and then getting attacked was better for me. I didn’t mind that part of this story. But a lack of continuation and explanation for Solo’s faction is bothersome to me.
⭐️Vlad: Lots here. most I liked.
(2) Chelsea, Michin, Piper
-Chelsea pulls the tights to defeat Michin to retain US Title. Piper, who also tried to interfere in the match but didn’t figure into the finish, prevented Michin from attacking Chelsea post match.

⭐️Kayhan: I’m actually impressed that this lower card match actually had something of a story. In Vince era WWE, this would have just been a match.
(5) Tiffany, Nia, Candice, Bailey, Naomi, Bianca, Aldis
-Tiffany is interviewed in the ring. Tiffany claims she only acted like a dumb blonde to get Nia to let her guard down and take the title. Nia comes in and calls Tiffany an ungrateful little shit. Bailey comes out followed by Naomi and Bianca who all stake claims to deserving a title shot. A scuffle ensues between everyone in the ring. Aldis comes out and makes a match between the four women in the ring for a shot at Tiffany’s title. Match starts right then and now.
-Backstage Bailey is interviewed and asked about next week’s title match with Tiffany.

⭐️Kayhan: Tiffany putting herself over saying she was actually a genious the whole time waiting for Nia to let her guard down😆. Ok. I’ll buy it.
(6) Jimmy Uso, Carmelo Hayes
-Carmelo walks up to Jimmy Uso. He holds what happened last week (when the usos bullied Carmelo 3on1) in his heart but tells Jimmy he’ll let it slide, though tension there is tension.
