Sounds like the pre-show will begin at 8:30pm for our NSW/Victoria contingent, with the main-show beginning around 9pm, so that 5am East Coast time slot seems accurate. I can't see too many of you waking up nice and early to watch this.
I think Perth got absolutely shafted on the card, but still it'll be nice to watch a live show right on prime-time.

This morning Austin Theory got into it with the editor of The West Australian for calling wrestling fake.
How long before an Australian reporter gets the taste smacked out of their mouth?

I'd speculate both were works. But that editor looked like a smart ass, so there's every chance it wasn't.

I know Chambers by design are long, but is that really the whole card?

Gonna happen soon as one of the AEW guys I think got into it too recently with the Aussie media for the same reason.

Aussies naturally take the piss, but I'm sure if an Aussie reporter said to Taylor that she's got a trail of dead as long as Jason Voorhees, it would be an outrage.

Theres a live presser on right now, I'm not sure if it's shown in the US. It's also on Facebook.

None of the pressers are on US TV. All online only here at least.

Imagine holding a press conference at midday during the Australian summer.
Stuff. That.
I caught a glimpse of it and they handled it pretty well. Unfortunately the crowd butchered the Cody entrance and Hunter had to have them do it again.

Five hours away. Going to crash and get up at 4AM to watch.
There is a rumor floating around. If true. I won’t miss this for nothing.

Pre-show tag match was what you'd expect it to be. Lots of heat on Candice, they built to the hot tag for Indi. Indi got a near-fall and then they quickly went to the finish with Kairi intercepting Indi on the outside before coming back in with the Insane Elbow for the finish.
The crowd gave Indi a standing ovation after the match.

OK, they seriously wouldn't do the Naomi entrance and have her go inside a pod, right? I still can't believe they sent Tiffany all the way down under, and her first impression is Perth.
Imagine going all the way to America only to wind up in Delaware!
Here comes Liv, time to Barry Horowitz myself.
Could be worse, I could have Pee Wee'd myself.

Nearly 50,000 in Perth tonight. Not bad. Considering two months ago wrestling Twitter ran wild on a bad report that they had only sold 7k tickets.

She's still a little raw, but business just picked up with Tiffany in the ring.

For someone coming off return the week before, it’s not good that Raquel looks like the weak link in this match. Not sure I see her being a serious title contender soon?

Wait, has that pinfall/submission always been the case? Or is that just a recent rule?
Damn, Tiffy just eliminated Naomi! She's been getting a strong showing here, she just endured a disarmher against the cage.
Here comes Raquel.

You do have to wonder what assurances Naomi was given to come back? Because she's just no on the level of being a top star in the WWE, so I'm assuming she knows that but is happy to be back and respected and travel with her husband.

That was a pretty sick Super Blockbuster. Didn’t look overly contrived and loved how Tiffy took advantage.

At the moment, she just seems happy to flex her back and slap hands. That's not going to get you far in the business.
