Clark doubling down on his look, which was already a lot:

Yes, it’s a roll-up at a small house show, but AoP losing still bugs me.

For those monitoring Alexa’s stock, she apparently controlled the singles match, with Bayley needing to mount a last minute comeback to win.

The knee that beat John Ce... I mean, Angelo Dawkins!

That bout did not get high marks from some Twitter users, which is about the only negative reaction you’ll find about a Kentucky show that fans are praising to the heavens.

The tag title match, would probably would have been the match of the night if not for the crowd-pleasing big finish which involved the same two teams, involved multiple instances of cheating by Dash & Dawson and a big false finish where Chad Gable & Jason Jordan hit Grand Amplitude on Scott but Wilder placed his foot on the ropes. American Alpha celebrated without realizing what happened, and a roll-up with a handful of tights beat them.

One of the great parts of the main was covered elsewhere, but the really cool stuff happened after the good guys & gal won. Last night, Danilo got to do the pose. Tonight, there were too many babyfaces, so the referee got to be a rope:

Also, the Lasskicker called, she wants her pun back...

Jokes aside, if this was goodbye for him or anyone else, what a way to go!

What's next?

Lakeland, Florida on Thursday... for those who aren’t on Tuesday’s SmackDown.
