I’m not sure what to expect from this show anymore but they tried something a little different last week with three matches instead of the usual two. I don’t know if that is going to solve things around here, but the recent shows have not been as dull as the ones in the last few weeks before. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Ariya Daivari vs. Tehuti Miles
Daivari hits him in the face to start and says he’ll be Miles’ veteran. More right hands put Miles down and Daivari shouts about Miles being a piece of trash. That’s enough to fire Miles up and he unloads in the corner with some rights of his own. Miles goes to the apron but gets kicked into the announcers’ table to put him back in trouble. Back in and Daivari hammers away, setting up a neckbreaker for two.
The chinlock goes on for a bit, followed by a heck of a clothesline to put Miles down. Back up and Miles grabs a DDT for a breather and there’s a spinebuster for two. Miles misses something off the top though and Daivari runs him over again. The hammerlock lariat misses for Daivari and Miles rolls him up for two more. Daivari is back with a superkick though and the hammerlock lariat finishes Miles at 6:18.
Result: Ariya Daivari b. Tehuti MIles – Hammerlock lariat (6:18)
Old vs. New:
Post match Miles pulls himself up and Daivari teases a handshake before pulling the hand away. Makes sense.
We look at Isaiah Scott pinning Santos Escobar on NXT.
Mansoor vs. Colby Corino
That would be Steve Corino’s son. They run the ropes to start until it’s an atomic drop into a clothesline to drop Colby. A middle rope bulldog connects and we hit the chinlock to keep Corino down. Colby gets back up and sweeps the leg to drop Mansoor off the middle rope. A seated abdominal stretch doesn’t last long as Mansoor fights up and hits a hanging TKO. The One Winged Angel into the Death Valley Driver finishes Corino at 3:18.
Result: Mansoor b. Colby Corino – Death Valley Driver (3:18)
I could go for more of this:
We look back at Ever Rise failing to cheat to win against Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch.
Ever Rise vs. Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch
Rematch from last week and Ariya Daivari joins commentary. Before the match, Ever Rise yells at Vic Joseph for having a big mouth. Lorcan and Parker start with both guys taking turns dragging the other into the corner for tags. Burch gets taken into the corner for some alternating stompings but it’s quickly back to Lorcan to run people over.
Martel breaks it up with an elbow to the head and it’s Parker stomping away against the ropes. Parker gets two off a snap suplex and we hit the seated armbar. Lorcan fights up with a running shoulder but a drop toehold into an elbow to the back cuts him off again. Parker gets kicked away though and the hot tag brings in Burch to clean house. A German suplex into a running clothesline gets two on Martel but here is Legado del Fantasma to hit Parker with a chair for the DQ at 5:30.
Result: Ever Rise b. Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch via DQ when Legado del Fantasma interfered (5:30)
The bigger match feel:
Post match Legado destroys all four of them, including duct taping Ever Rise’s mouths shut to end the show.
