Opening sequence.
Hideo Itami vs. Mustafa Ali
Ali is from the Cruiserweight Classic. Itami starts fast with the strikes and sends him to the apron for a baseball slide. Back in and Ali takes him down for a chinlock followed by a kick to the head for two. Itami is tired of playing around though and starts firing off the strikes, capped off by the running knee for the pin at 3:20.
Video on Bobby Roode. Any excuse to hear GLORIOUS is worth it.
Music video with footage of Aries vs. No Way Jose, Roode vs. Almas and the Tag Team Title match.
Carmella/Liv Morgan/Nikki Glenncross vs. Alexa Bliss/Mandy Rose/Daria Berenato
Rose is from Tough Enough, Glenncross is from Scotland and Berenato is from New Jersey. You can tell Rose is glorified eye candy in the vein of the early days of Eva Marie. Graves: “Mandy Rose is only second to one person in my heart: Eva Marie.” Berenato (a newcomer just like Glenncross) is dressed like a boxer. Ten seconds in and Graves is reaching Jerry Lawler levels of drooling over the women.
Regal tells security to keep Joe and Nakamura apart during their interview.
Ember Moon is coming.
We run down the card. I miss that happening on the main shows.
One last Takeover ad ends the show.
