Jacob Fatu Attacked Eric AndreAre Roman Reigns, The Usos and Fatu officially known as The Bloodline at this point? It's hard to keep track of this stuff. Either way, this segment established more tension between Fatu and the rest of the group, specifically The Usos. He got his own Ula Fala from Reigns before ripping Andre from behind the barricade and laying him out with several splashes, much to the delight of the crowd. I'm glad Fatu hasn't been completely cooled off, but I'm still skeptical of where his role in The Bloodline is going.

Charlotte Flair def. Lyra Valkyria, Jade Cargill and Women's Intercontinental Champion in a Queen of the Ring Quarterfinal Fatal 4-Way Match (Non-Title)It's a shame Cargill's wig came off near the end because it overshadowed everything that came after it. All of her spots involved her desperately trying to keep it on. Otherwise, this was mostly a well-worked, fun four-way. We've seen quite a few of them in the last two weeks because of the tournaments, but they've managed to keep them interesting. Flair advancing made the most sense. I feel bad Valkyria took the pinfall loss (especially after losing on Monday's Raw, too), but you had to see that coming.
Fraxiom def. Romero Moreno and Noam DarThis stemmed from a backstage segment these teams had last week. Nathan Frazer just lost to Moreno in a WWE Speed Championship number one contender's match two weeks ago, so this allowed him to get his win back. Hey, it's not like Fraxiom has anything else going on at the moment over on SmackDown. This was a fun, fast-paced opener. This is the sort of stuff I prefer over the Speed nonsense that feels contrived.
Adam Priest and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Dalton Castle and The Outrunners def. Dralistico and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal and The Swirl)Where was Tommy Billington? I would've taken Priest and Dralistico out to make a standard six-man tag team match because their involvement wasn't explained, but I guess they didn't want to beat Lethal Twist straight up in case they challenge for the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship at some point. Nonetheless, this was a nice match with the crowd being behind the babyfaces.
Oba Femi Attacked The Judgment DayI figured he'd be fine, but for anyone that was worried, this segment affirmed that Femi is still very much over despite losing to Brock Lesnar at Clash in Italy. He came across like an absolute star here. I'm glad we know it will be him against Dominik Mysterio in the King of the Ring semifinals next week because it allowed them to build up the bout in this segment. I enjoyed their exchange. That had to be the most crowd heat Mysterio has gotten in months.
