What caught our eye? Sending Alexa to Columbus while her boys stayed home probably isn't a good sign for Blake & Murphy, but might have just been a way to give Bliss a trip to her hometown. Interesting how many new talents who haven't appeared (or been featured) on television made the trip to The Arnold - likely because they needed bodies given the amount of time they got being an on-going attraction at the Festival as opposed to a traditional card. Mandy is said to already look better in the ring than Eva.

What's next? Thursday night (Mar. 10) and Saturday (Mar. 12) in Fort Pierce, Florida... for whoever isn't headed to Roadblock...
