What caught our eye?

Bing apparently does look quite as ready when he’s asked to work one-on-one, not surprisingly.

Crawford looks to be the breakout star of his new team, which was likely the plan.

Nikki loses due to TOO MUCH ASS-KICKING (actually, because Wolfe pulled the ref out, but you know eventuall she would have been DQ-ed for excessive violence).

Austin Aries’ injury caused some juggling of the card, but it gave fans this hard-hitting piece of excellence:

Mr. Jose, as Paul Ellering calls him, gets it...

Meanwhile, Roode has a GLORIOUS staredown with a small child, and loses!

The former Total Divas star has been missing for a few shows, possibly due to a social media controversy, but she’s back and still getting good reviews:

Possibly because of reports stuff will be taped for TV in LA, Ellering (and William Regal) are on the Cali tour.

Of course, while Joe’s team gets a win in the record books, got to send the fans home happy...

What's next?

Jacksonville & San Jose
