Standard stuff here. Nothing to write home about.
Jasper Troy vs. Sean Legacy vs. Eli Knight
Troy beats down both Legacy and Knight simultaneously. Troy gets sent out of the ring. Knight and Legacy fight in the ring. Keanu Carver spawns at ringside and chokeslams Troy through the commentary desk. Carver barks at Booker T. After the break, Troy gets back to his feet and runs over Legacy and Knight. Troy sets up Legacy for the Blackhole Slam, but Knight dropkicks Troy to break it up. Knight and Legacy land a series of moves capped with their finishes on Troy. Knight and Legacy pin Troy.
Winners… err.. Sean LEgacy and Eli Knight… I guess?
Grade: C+
Ok TV match. They managed to find a good reason to turn this into a singles match at one point, so they get points for that.
Charlie Dempsey and Tavion Heights vs. Lexis King and Uriah Connors
Midway through the match, William Regal and Fit Finlay walk out on the stage. Dempsey grabs Heights as he tries to get back in the ring and nails him with a German suplex. Dempsey turns on Heights and joins Birthright. Heights is tossed back into the ring to get pinned.
Winners: Lexis King and Uriah Connors
Grade: C+

Fine match but… not sure they have given us enough to care about any of this. Getting to see Regal and Finlay together was fun, though.
Sol Ruca vs. Lainey Reid
Reid controls much of the match, countering the Sol Snatcher at every turn. Reid manages to land a running cricifix bomb. Ruca struggles to get to her feet. Reid sets up a knee trembler. Ruca avoids it, causing Reid to crash into the turnbuckle. Ruca pops to her feet and hits the Sol Snatcher for the win.
Winner- Sol Ruca
Grade: B
So far, this is the match of the night. Reid is way better at this point than she has any business being. Ruca is solidified main roster-bound at any minute, so her having a competitive match with Reid helps Reid more than anything else.
WWE Women’s Speed Championship tournament finals: Thea Hail vs. Wren Sinclair
Sinclair taps Hail out with Cattle Mutilation.
Winne: Wren Sinclair
Grade: C+
… Speed matches. Yay.
Joe Hendry and Myles Borne vs. Ricky Saints and Ethan Page
Page and Saints are in control for much of the match after isolating Borne. Borne manages to tag in Hendry, who clears the ring. Hendry calls for the Standing Ovation. Page breaks it up to save Saints. Page grabs the NXT championship and slides it to Saints. The referee pulls the title away, and Hendry rolls up Saints for a two count. Page gets a blind tag, and Saints surprises Hendry with a spear. Page and Saints argue about Page tagging himself in. Borne dropkicks Saints. Page drops Hendry with Twisted Grin for the win!
Winners- Ricky Saints and Ethan Page
Grade: B-
Fine match. Page clearly has eyes for the NXT Championship. The only person who seemingly doesn’t see it coming is Saints. With that, what’s next for Borne if Page’s focus is on Hendry? Are we going to end up with a triple threat for the NXT Championship at Stand and Deliver?
