Samoa Joe set the tone for his match with Nick Wayne early, when he grabbed him for a uranagi and could be heard saying "Sit your punkass down!" Nicky tried to cheat a little with some fancy flips, but Joe didn't even have to do his famous walk-away spot.

Buddy and Brody, now officially rechristened "Hounds Of Hell", have their big match against two big slabs of beef in the Gates Of Agony. I'm pretty certain that at one point GoA saved Matthews from hitting his legs hard on the safety rail during a dive to the outside.
By the way, sometimes I am the slowest on the uptake. For example, when Mariah May and Toni Storm were finally face to face "for the first time" and Toni started laying it on real thick with "I'm your biggest fan, etc" I said out loud "Maybe the whole thing's just an act!" And everyone else in the watch party was like "Uh, duh?"
The big reveal was not quite the Tomato In The Mirror moment I was hoping for, but Toni immediately turned the Gloria Swanson up to 11 and put the fear of God back into Mariah.
