Cora Jade def. BayleyI assumed this would be a warm-up for Bayley before the NXT Women's Championship Triple Threat at Vengeance Day, but WWE opted to go in a different direction instead by having Jade beat Bayley, essentially earning her entry into the Triple Threat to make it a Fatal 4-Way. That was an unnecessary move in my opinion, but I understand the story they're trying to tell with the four of them. This was a solid opener even if I wasn't enamored by the booking decision.

NWA World Tag Team Champions Knox and Murdoch def. Daisy Kill and TalosKill and Talos have turned into a nice team over the last year or so and I thought that was especially evident during this outing. The same can be said for Mike Knox and Trevor Murdoch as well, so this was a good opener. They didn't get a ton of time, but they didn't need to. It was fairly straightforward stuff and exactly what it needed to be. I'm not sure who's left for Knox and Murdoch to defend against that they haven't already beaten.
#AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week's edition touches upon a variety of topics including:
World Heavyweight Champion Gunther Attacked Jey UsoThe Nashville crowd was just as loud for Uso's entrance as the crowds were for Raw and SmackDown last week. I loved the shot of Uso celebrating on the commentary table when Gunther attacked him out of nowhere. Uso announcing that he'll challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 confirms that the men's Elimination Chamber will be for a Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity at 'Mania. This was a quality angle and I'm glad they're not wasting any time making that match official. Hopefully they can keep this feud interesting for the next two-plus months.
Alex Kane Confronted Eric BischoffI honestly don't mind Bischoff as much as most these days (especially if he's used in small and effective doses), but he was all over that One-Shot event in December and it was terrible. I assume he brought up the Ted Turner Lifetime Achievement Award thing to get heat, but the last thing MLW needs is another heel authority figure. Cesar Duran is better in that role at this point and even he hasn't been utilized well in a while. At the very least, his ultimatum for Kane was a fine hook for the main event.
