FedExForum – Memphis, TN – Wednesday, January 16, 2019
Tom Phillips and Percy Watson are on commentary.
~MATCH #1~
Zack Ryder & No Way Jose defeat Curt Hawkins & Tyler Breeze. Hawkins comes in at 0 for his last 255. I don’t quite understand the three babyface/one heel dynamic but let’s see what we get. Jose’s Conga Line tries to encourage their boy, but Hawkins and Breeze keep him grounded in their half of the ring. Ryder gets the hot tag and the referee loses control. Jose throws Ryder in the air, and Ryder comes down on Breeze with the Rough Ryder to get the pin. Spirited little tag team match there.
Rating: **½
~MATCH #2~
Mickie James & Alicia Fox defeat Ember Moon & Dana Brooke. Moon and Brooke control the early going, showing impressive teamwork for a duo that hasn’t really worked together before. That carries into the commercial break. Back from the break and the Moon/Brooke duo still has the advantage. That doesn’t last too long before the veterans Fox and James take over. Fox manages to screw up a snap mare, which is just tremendous. After several minutes, Brooke gets the hot tag and she’s a house afire. James survives though, and connects with the Mick-DT to get the pin. Okay tag team match here, with good work from Moon and Brooke. Alicia Fox continues to stun with her level of ineptitude.
Rating: *¾
JZ Says
The Raw and SmackDown highlights are nice, but the matches were certainly nothing to see this week. Alicia Fox has no business being in the ring, so if you want to watch someone forget how to do a snap mare, check out that match.
