Opening sequence.
Carmella vs. Alexa Bliss
Noah Potjes vs. Andrade Cien Almas
Bayley vs. Bliss is set for next week.
Tommaso Ciampa/Johnny Gargano vs. Hype Bros
Rawley sends Gargano into the corner to start and hits a three point stance tackle before bringing in Ryder, who eats a dropkick. Ciampa comes in, drawing a PSYCHO KILLER chant, and grabs a cravate. Johnny sends Ryder to the floor and hits a big old dive, only to have Rawley get in a hard clothesline as we take a break.
Rating: B. Well that was a surprise. Who knew the Hype Bros had something like that in them? Just having them as a basic power/speed team is a fine idea and I could easily see them as gatekeepers for the Tag Team Titles. Gargano and Ciampa get better every single week and I could really go for a match between the two of them and Revival.
Results
Alexa Bliss b. Carmella – Twisted Bliss
Andrade Cien Almas b. Noah Potjes – Running knees in the corner
Johnny Gargano/Tommaso Ciampa b. Hype Bros – Running knee/superkick combo to Ryder
