Candice LeRae vs. Jacy Jayne (w/ Fatal Influence)

-Nice to see Candice getting some ring time. Lockup and Jayne backs Candice into the corner and tries to intimidate her. Doesn’t work obviously. Jacy gets a knockdown and plays to the crowd. Vic notes that Candice is the most underused talent in all of WWE. You can make a case. Dropkick from Candice and Jayne slides to floor and asks for a time-out. Like Chris Webber in 93 that doesn’t work out for her as Candice hits a baseball slide. Fatal Influence gets involved and that lets Jayne hit a kick from the apron. Back in the ring, Jacy gets a neckbreaker for two. She chokes Candice on the ropes and then again in the corner with her boot. Reid lands a left hand from the apron behind the ref’s back. Jayne throws elbows to the top of the shoulder and hooks a reverse chinlock. Candice breaks, but gets run into the corner and more playing to the crowd from Jayne. Candice uses the waste of time to start her comeback. She lands a step-up enziguiri and then a back Senton for two. Fatal Influence gets involved again so Candice dives on them with a cannonball from the apron. Back in she gets a roll-up for two and hits a modified Code Breaker, but Jayne is only staggering and catches Candice with a rolling encore for the pin at 5:00.

Winner: Jacy Jayne via pin at 5:00
-This was fine, but seemed to be more about getting Jayne’s character and group out there with the crowd more than it was about having a good match. I keep hoping they find something more for Candice, but it doesn’t seem like it. I’ll take her appearing on Main Event anytime though. **

-SummerSlam! Minnesota! Tickets still on sale!

Sol Ruca vs. Nattie

-Rare appearance by something holding a Championship. This is not for Ruca’s IC Title. I saw the news earlier that Nattie will be working a show for the NWA. That’s cool! Send her to kick down The Forbidden Door. Nattie attacks before the bell and gets a take down. Ruca slams Nattie down on her face and then hits a superkick for two. She lands a running elbow in the corner and follows with forearm strikes. She kicks Nattie so she goes head first into the middle buckle. Sol Snatcher, but Nattie slides out of the ring. Sol with a kick through the ropes and sends Nattie back into the ring. Nattie hides in the ropes and uses the ref to land a punch over her back. The crowd starts a chant for Ruca. Suplex from Nattie and she pushes Sol away with her boot. I appreciate the new attitude and look. Another suplex from Nattie! She hooks a surfboard in a funny spot. I see what Nattie did there! Sol escapes and hits a basement dropkick for two. Nattie up first though and hits a clothesline for two. She runs over Sol’s back and delivers a kick to the face. Nattie heels to the crowd, and that costs her as Sol catches her with a kick to the gut. She starts rolling with elbows and then a leg trip. Running knee gets a two count. Sol Snatcher is countered again, as Nattie slams her down. Sharpshooter, but Sol goes to the eyes and gets a roll-up. Nattie counters into an arm-bar and Sol counters back to a pin for two. Backslide from Sol gets two. Nattie counters a throw with a Side Russian Leg Sweep. Nattie gets caught in the corner and after a head kick, Sol hits The Sol Snatcher for the pin at 5:52.

Winner: Sol Ruca via pin at 5:52
-This was getting good by the end so props to them for getting me invested. Working with Nattie should be easy for anyone and it should help every woman on the roster when it happens. I like the new gimmick for Nattie and I would take her popping up on this show on a regular basis against the kids. **3/4

-Nattie offers a hand after the match and Sol accepts, but Nattie makes sure it’s an aggressive handshake.

-Shop WWE for Championship Belts. Love wrestling, but can’t justify paying that much money. My wife would lose her mind. Just need to win my Fantasy Football League so I can hold The Big Gold Belt for a year.

LWO (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) vs. Los Americanos

-Rayo starts with Cruz and they go through the stalemate sequence and the crowd cheers. Bravo and Wilde in and they start with a brief dance off, which pops the crowd. Bravo gets backdropped out of the ring, but makes a blind tag on the way down. Rayo in and they post Wilde balls first. More dancing from Rayo. Mexican arm-drag from Wilde and he tags in Cruz. Stereo Suicide Dives! Cruz up top but Rayo catches him with a step-up enziguiri and then brings him down with a rana. Tag made to Bravo and one to Wilde as well. Bravo with an airplane spin and giant swing combo on both men in a fantastic spot. The crowd was way into that one. Has Claudio ever done that spot? Seems like it would be made for someone like him. Cruz lands a series of kicks and comes off the top with a missile dropkick. Rayo takes him out with a kick. Wilde rolls into a basement dropkick. Bravo off top with a splash for the pin at 4:20.

Winners: Los Americanos via pin at 4:20
-Too short as I wanted them to get a little more time. Some fun spots but really that was all due to getting only four minutes. These two teams could give us more, but this is Main Even and doesn’t happen often. Maybe in AAA. **1/2

-Thanks for reading!

7.0

The final score: review Good

The 411

I enjoyed the show overall as we got some different styles and each match was solid at worst. Nattie/Sol take match of the night honors as they worked well together. The Main Event was fun, but would have benefitted if given another 3-5 minutes. Show continues to be a breeze with this three-match format on YouTube.
