Britt Baker's promo was the highlight of the night. Top tier babyface promo. I don't care if she's meant to be a heel or not. It was a promo in character, straight from the heart, addressing Saraya's attacks. Fine by me. Saraya's retort was fine as well. I agree - there's been enough talk. IT'S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT!
I skimmed through Toni Storm vs Anna Jay Ass. I noticed she used a rear chinlock at length. Her finish is a rear naked choke, which is basically the same thing with a small adjustment. Why are you using that resthold?
I liked Moxley's promo. I didn't like MJF's promo so much. First off, am I really supposed to believe the Firm can be ran off that easily? Second, I don't buy MJF as this badass character. Don't care how jacked he is. Promo was very generic "me tough". MJF as a white meat babyface not working so far. Match should be good though.

MJF has done the fake babyface act a couple of times now. I've never bought it. That reminds me of when Alexia & Carmella pretended to be remorseful and apologized for a dirty deed. WAIT! I NEVER MEANT THAT AT ALL! that gets old quickly.

Hopefully Saraya can just have a decent match with Britt without anyone getting hurt. A lot of Britt's moveset targets the head so even without doing a lot it will be easy to make the match feel like a good match.

I forgot to mention Swerve vs Bowens. The pre-match video was pretty cool, but I was disappointed by the match. Swerve dominated too much, although Bowens showed a lot of heart, he was completely outclassed. Should have been more even stevens.
Although you could argue that Bowens almost never wrestles singles, while Swerve has I think mostly been a singles guy before allying with Keith Lee.
Speaking of which, I really like their tag team dynamic. Swerve getting more and more heelish, Keith Lee vocally objecting but grudgingly staying along for the ride. I thought Lee would have snapped ages ago, or Swerve would have turned on him, but I like that they're keeping it going. Both guys seem to accept that they're better off with each other than against each other, which is a depth I don't expect from pro-wrestling. Even Swerve kidnapping a man and ambiguously destroying his hand with pliers isn't enough for Keith Lee to walk away. That's fascinating.
