Kianna James vs. Jordynne Grace
-The Euro crowd has great energy for this one as they immediately start singing. James drops to her knees and offers a test of strength. Grace knuckles up and pulls James to her feet. The crowd is into this test of strength. James runs Grace into the corner and again. A third try is blocked and Grace lands an elbow. She gets a shoulder tackle and another elbow. James tries a pump kick, but gets caught and James gets a suplex for two. Grace runs into an elbow and James hangs her on the top rope. Running boot knocks Grace to the floor. Back in the ring, James gets a series of shoulder tackles in the corner for a two count. Shoulder tackle and James heels on the crowd. She lands a kick as we get a “Lets go Jordan” chant. She responds with forearms and gets a rough looking sunset flip. James shifts her weight to save it. Grace gets a series of head-butts while being tangled in the ropes. That looked awkward. Grace drops an elbow for a two count. The crowd is into this one. World’s Strongest Slam from Grace, but misses Grace Under Pressure. James with a standing moonsault for two. Superkick is blocked, but Grace avoids a strike. They trade strikes and Grace gets The Backpack Stunner for the pin at 5:39.
Winner: Jordynne Grace via pin at 5:39
-This was fine and helped by the crowd popping for everything they were doing. Sloppy a little at times, but sometimes that’s not a bad thing. **
-Night of Champions commercial!
-WWE Shop commercial!
LWO (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) vs. Los Americanos
-Just so my thoughts are out there. Mask vs. Mask ruled and I am happy to see the WWE hyping it up as must see TV (streaming, whatever). Rayo starts this one with Cruz and they do the sequence where neither gets an advantage and they both try a dropkick. The crowd applauds! Cruz snaps off a head scissors and these guys seems pumped to be working in front of a hot crowd. Wilde and Cruz both him lionsaults for a two counts. Bravo in and gets caught with a spinning head scissors. Wilde walks the ropes and gets an arm-drag. He follows with a crucifix for two! Bravo with a series of right hands. Americanos pull Wilde balls first into the ring post and then dance. This match looks like it was filmed in the same building that hosted Clash in Italy. Cruz gets the tag and comes in with a cross-body on Rayo. Tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to both Americanos. Double Missile Dropkick sends them to the floor. Wilde in and we get stereo suicide dives! Running clothesline in the corner followed by an enziguiri. Bravo comes flying in off the screen, but gets taken out with a springboard dropkick. Cruz with a brainbuster suplex on Rayo. Cruz off the top, but gets caught with a right hand on the way down. Double head-butt gets the pin for Los Americanos at 5:22.
Winners: Los Americanos via pin at 5:22
-This was fun as they went out in front of a hot crowd and did their thing. The crowd had a ball and the guys seemed pumped to be out there. Good few days for Los Americanos Familia. ***
-SummerSlam! Minnesota!

Ivy Nile vs. Lyra Valkyria (w/ Bayley)
-She is Irish but that’s Europe, so the crowd loves Lyra. Ivy attacks Lyra before the bell and stomps her down in the corner. The crowd serenades Bayley as usually happens in Europe. For her part, Bayley tries to get the crowd to support Lyra and it kind of works, though some fans still wants to sing to her. Ivy remains in control and flexes her bicep, which ticks off the crowd. No we get a “Lets Go Lyra.” chant. Delayed Suplex as she holds Lyra up for over twenty seconds. She then flexes! Ivy misses a charge in the corner. They start trading blows and Lyra wins that battle. Step-up enziguiri by Lyra. She hits a dropkick through the ropes and to the floor. Lyra heads up and plays to the crowd. She comes off with a shotgun dropkick for two. Ivy uses the ropes to snap Lyra’s arm off the top rope. The crowd lets her know that she sucks. I like Ivy! Lyra gets Night Wings out of nowhere for the pin at 4:59.
Winner: Lyra Valkyria via pin at 4:59
-This was on part with the opener,which mean sit was fine. Again, the crowd was great. **
-Thanks for reading!
