Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka
In case anyone forgot why Zelina Vega and Michin would be fighting Iyo and Kairi just as Asuka is making her entrance. Let’s go back to War Games, when Bianca was searching for a fourth member, she wanted Michin and Zelina, but they were found beaten by Damage Control. So, this is revenge. A sweet, sweet thing. Have fun, ladies.
It became even more entertaining when Shotzi and Bianca Belair helped corner Iyo and Kairi. That upset Asuka. Ha! Ha!
The bell rings, and the Empress goes after Charlotte as fast as she could with striking kicks to the legs until Flair retaliates with a back suplex. Later on, Asuka moves out of harm’s way as Flair chops the post instead.
Flair drops the Empress spine first against the barricades then follows that up with a Moonsault. She didn’t get all of it, but she got some. A slight miscalculation.
Charlotte struggled to lock the Figure 4 on Asuka, and somewhat got it, but Bayley interfered once again. Asuka almost collides with Bayley, yet she ducks out of the way as Flair delivers a right hand to Bayley then Asuka rolls the queen up and secures the victory.
Winner: Asuka
Retired Captain Florent Groberg received the nation’s highest honor back in 2015, the Medal of Honor for saving countless of his fellow men. Although, he lost four of his friends to a suicide vest recipient, survivor’s guilt came soon after, the 34 surgeries he undergone, he continued to push on and live for himself and those he cherished.
Next Friday, the person who’s rarely here, Roman Reigns returns. As we continue with the US Championship Tournament, Grayson Waller will be facing a Superstar from NXT, handpicked by Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. And despite having a broken hand, KO versus Austin Theory in the Round One is still happening.
Randy Orton & LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso & Solo Sikoa – Tag Team match
Jimmy sure took his time to wrestle against Randy, I can tell he was frightened. Ha! Well, don’t be surprised when you know what you did is what I always say. Orton has Jimmy cornered as he delivers a couple of striking blows to his challenger’s head.
Has anyone noticed that Jimmy has become the human punching bag since Jey left The Bloodline and SmackDown? His skills are deteriorating everyday. Damn, damn, damn.
Orton and Knight are doing great work out of Jimmy, but they can’t seem to agree on the tagging situation since whenever one gets too close to their respectable corner, the secondary partner tags themself in, potentially ruining the momentum.
As Solo and Randy have a stare down, Jimmy takes that opportunity to strike Orton from behind before being told to return to his corner… like a toddler being deprived of their cookies. Ha!
Randy tags LA Knight while Jimmy tags Solo. The legal competitors are now brawling it out inside the ring. A swinging neck breaker to Sikoa from Knight was beautifully done.
A distraction from Jimmy gave the retaliation Sikoa needed to plant Knight down on the mat extremely hard. The power of this man was staggering to watch. Jimmy is so good at cheap shots, it’s sad that he enjoys himself doing that.
A double team against LA Knight crushed him in the corner of the ring. A tag is made later on as Randy delivers clothesline after clothesline to Jimmy then he takes out Solo with the help of Knight.
A vintage Randy Orton DDT has been initiated against Jimmy, and rightfully so. Alas, it was a shame that Orton couldn’t finish Jimmy Jim off with the RKO because Sikoa intervened.
Solo was looking to Samoan Spike Orton, yet LA Knight blocks with a DDT. He ventures to take out Jimmy with the BFT, but he gets outshined by Randy’s winning RKO.
Winners: Randy Orton & LA Knight
