Jungle Grrrl now arrives and says Tessa is cute thinking she deserves to be champion. Tessa says she already took care of her, and bails. Havok now arrives and Tessa suggests that she will defend her tile next week, so McLane books a triple threat main event.

The Psycho Sisters defeated Princess Aussie & Reyna Reyes @ 6:30 via pin [**] This was ok, a bit slow at times and there were a few instances of standing around and looking lost by Razor in particular.

– The heels celebrate post match and claim that no one can stop them.

– We get a video package, hyping tonight’s main event.

– Tessa arrives to do commentary for the main event.

The final score: review Not So Good
The 411
WOW - Women Of Wrestling was far from a horrible show. The production is very good and clean, and the show is shot well. the wrestling was ok to solid, and has some potential based on some of the roster we saw, but I do worry about the booking going forward following that main event. It wasn’t horrible, but also wasn’t very good but has some potential.
