I liked Toni/Lacey. Some cool stuff from Lacey in this. I've enjoyed her progression. Baszler/Yim was as good as I expected. And Kai/Ripley and Savoy/LeRae were fine little matches too.

Muuuuch better showing from Evers. Really good opening match. Piper's awesome. I really liked Bianca/Kairi. Some cute moments, like Kairi dissing the kiss, and great wrestling. Bianca is a future star.

Good little match with Peyton and Ruby. I can get behind the Iconic Duo as a sanitized Beautiful People.

I at least like the progression of the Lana/Tamina storyline. This might be what both of them needs right now.

Seriously. Sasha's over and can go in the ring. So, I'm not sure why they won't just give her the ball and let her run with it.

I agree. This wasn't all Marti.

I thought Candice and Renee did fine as well. Decent opener. I've liked Lacey for a while and thought she did good here. Taynara seems the most interesting of the greener women. I agree that we will see better from Nicole with other opponents. Kairi/Tessa was also pretty good. Kairi is so gonna be NXT's top face lol

I really enjoyed Santana/Piper. I've always liked Santana but she can sometimes be inconsistent. She was definitely "on" in this match though and she and Piper had some good chemistry. I thought Sage and Bianca was a good showing for both, especially Bianca. This is the best I've seen her look yet. With more training, Kavita Devi is gonna be a problem.

I really liked Mia/Sarah. Favorite match so far. I'm surprised the crowd didn't turn on Marti/Rachel. That was just sad and awkward. Miranda Salinas was alright for a last minute sub.

I like both KLR and Princesa Sugehit but they just never seemed to gel. Some nice little character work from Vanessa Borne and I dug her new attire. Glad to see Serena again. She was always a favorite. Zeda/Baszler was just sort of there. I can see why everyone was so high on Jazzy. She came out of this looking like a real monster. She and Abbey had the best match of this show.

Welp there we go. Sexy Star is a total asshole and shouldn't be booked anywhere.

It's very strange with Karen Jarrett and Grado both challenging Sexy Star to come to GFW while other wrestlers, like Gail Kim and Sienna, seem legit pissed. Smh Either way, glad to hear that Rosemary is not as badly injured as initially thought and hope she gets well soon.

I enjoyed the Bracketology too. I'm super excited to finally see these matches.

Yea I enjoyed both women's matches too and felt the same on the conclusions. I was shocked to see Nattie win but, as much as I enjoyed Naomi as champ, it's cool that Nattie gets another moment. I was expecting Carmella to pull the swerve and cash in on Sasha though. lol

I also enjoyed Ember/Asuka. Best Ember match yet and I felt like this finally moved her to the next level much like Becky's loss to Sasha at Unstoppable did her. When (if?) Asuka finally drops the title, it's gonna be epic.

I enjoyed Defenders. It wasn't great but it was decent enough. The MVP was definitely Jessica. I enjoyed all of her scenes/interactions most and the show made me eager to see the second season of her show. I also dug all of the moments with the various supporting casts. And while I didn't mind Elektra in DD season 2, I did find the writing for her here all over the place.

I liked this Sasha/Nia match too. Their latest matches have been a vast improvement over the first time they feuded months ago. I'm assuming Emma is headed to Smackdown? lol

I enjoyed the Orphan Black finale. It took me a second to really get into this season but I was all in by the 3rd episode. I'm glad the show went this route with the ending as I think the characters more than deserved it.

I love the backstage pieces too. Hell, I'd be down for a special episode of just those.

Homophobic? Oh man, now I gotta scratch Jimmy's off of the list smh lol

I liked what we got of Carmella/Naomi. When one of the women finally beat the Hell out of Ellsworth, it's gonna be awesome.

I liked what we got of the two qualifying matches although I'm not here for Sasha/Nia next week. Wish they had mixed it up and gone with a Sasha/Emma or Sasha/Mickie final. Poor Bayley.

Naomi would count as "diva period" too

Fashion Peaks was the best skit yet. The Usos are killing it. If they're not careful, they're going to be faces lol I dug the women's tag. Great to see Naomi get some ring time again and her transition of the Code of Silence into the Feel The Glow was pretty neat.
