– We get a Video package for Ridge Holland, coming soon.

– We get a Piper Niven video package, discussing her path into wrestling and how she fell in love with it. This really would have been more effective when she debuted, but I appreciate the effort to give her some shine with Rhea & likely Toni gone.

Isla Dawn vs. Killer Kelly: This is Kelly’s first match since June, following time of due to injury. Kelly rushes her but Dawn grounds her and takes control. The half crab follows, but Kelly makes the ropes. Dawn follows with a dropkick and covers for 2. Kelly fires back, lays in ground and pound and follows with kicks.

The corner dropkick follows but Dawn counters into a bridging German for the win. Isla Dawn defeated Killer Kelly @ 4:25 via pin [**] This was ok, but Dawn bores me to tears while they still have no clue what to do with Kelly.

– Next week, we also get KLR vs. Xia Brookside & Travis Banks vs. Ligero.

Imperium arrives and Gallus rushes the ring for the no contest. Imperium attacks and has a standoff with Gallus. Grizzled Young Veterans vs. Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster went to a no contest @ 16:00 [***¼] Even with the non-finish, they had a good main event and worked hard to get the crowd into it.

– Post match, Wolfe, Joe Coffey, & WALTER arrive. Imperium & Gallus face off as Ilja Dragunov arrives. They’ve teased him joining Imperium but he…stands with Gallus. They all brawl to close the show, which the crowd popped for. I’m not sold on Dragunov with Gallus, but maybe he can make them interesting.
