MAIN EVENT — Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton. In progress

The opening match featured strong performances from all three men. Yachty, Corbin and Trick did exactly what was needed to pull off an entertaining match and a half. Yachty’s work at the Performance Center paid off. He wasn’t spectacular, but he was plenty good enough to push his way past five minutes in an entertaining manner. Shout out to Corbin who was cut in the Yachty match, but still showed his normal solid work in dropping the title to Williams.

Williams beat Corbin in 11:14 with the Trick Shot for his second reign. Femi went 14 minutes with Breakker before the chair shot, and Bleacher Report graded that match a B-plus. Cargill pinned Flair with Jaded at 9:35 after B-Fab kicked Paxley into her. Reed hit four Tsunamis on Femi, split by two Breakker spears, before officials stopped it. Cathy Kelley asked Paul Heyman about the attack later in the night. He took a phone call and walked off.

The Breakker-Femi match was great, and the best part was there wasn’t a definitive winner. I felt it was too early to have either man go over cleanly, and clearly, WWE felt the same way. Instead, the biggest story from this exchange was the return of Bronson Reed. The Vision is now almost back to full strength as Logan Paul nears a return. Reed is noticeably leaner and looks like even more of a monster than before. The Vision decimated Femi and overall, it will be great for everyone involved.

Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab came out in attires that paid homage to the legendary R&B group TLC. They looked great and it was even better that they went over. The match wasn’t spectacular, but it wasn’t terrible. Here’s a tidbit: Jade Cargill is undefeated at Saturday/Sunday Night’s Main Event. She’s now 3-0 including winning the WWE Women’s Championship over Tiffany Stratton on the show.
