Kay Lee Ray vs Princesa Sugehit
Pretty fun match to kick off the tournament. Liked Sugehit
laying in some nice kicks early, bringing the fight to KLR. Kay Lee has some
nice early touches too, loved her spinning Sugehit around on the apron to swing
her into a nice looking forearm. A sliding flatliner by KLR looks a bit off,
but this is the only glaring moment. Sugehit rolls KLR around the ring with a
cradle, and it nicely leaves Kay Lee dizzy for some big kicks to the head. A
Gory Bomb gets two for Ray, but she misses a Swanton and Sugehit locks in an
armbar for the tap.
Serena Deeb vs Vanessa Borne
Interestingly worked, as even though Deeb is the veteran,
Borne has a slight size and power advantage that allows her to control the
match for the most part. Liked her nasty headbutt that rocks Deeb. It allows
Deeb to gain sympathy and she’s really good at working from underneath. Deeb
makes a comeback, but hurls herself into the corner in a nice missed move. It
leads to a Borne swinging neckbreaker that feels like the ending, but only gets
two. Samoan Drop also gets two and Borne starts getting frustrated. This leads
to a missed splash, a missed clothesline and Deeb nailing a spear for three.
Decent story, nicely told.
Shayna Baszler vs Zeda
This only goes two minutes, but is pretty fun for it’s
runtime. They work a nice little grappling sequence before Baszler goes to the
strikes. Liked Baszler blocking a suplex, so Zeda instead locks in a standing
choke from the same position. Unfortunately for her, Shayna powers her into a
suplex, transitioning straight into a rear choke for the tap. Zeda looked
pretty competitive considering the length, it’s just that Baszler got a sudden
death move for the win.
Abbey Laith vs Jazzy Gabert
They start this really nicely, as Laith tries repeated blows
on Gabert only to get thrown away time and again. The audience reacts really well
to this. Gabert looks great dominating early, hitting some blows to the neck of
Laith and hooking in a neck crank. Loved the flurry of brutal punches Gabert
hits in the corner. Laith has some nice comebacks, including an Octopus Stretch
in the ropes. Her kicks look pretty weak in comparison to some of Gabert’s
strikes. Gabert’s lariat looks terrific. Jazzy seems to be in control, but
Laith escapes a Gory Bomb with a cradle for three. Really good match, Laith
looks great in surviving and Gabert looked like a monster in control.
