Reviews/Thoughts:
More "YES" signs! #yesyesyes

Yoshi and Jinder start things off. Good physicality from Mahal. Leave it to the UK to have good crowds. Big chops from Yoshi on his comeback. Yoshi misses his huge kick. Jinder with a high knee and a camel clutch for the win. Jinder's gotten several wins over the last few months. When is he actually getting a storyline and push that means something?

Divas are next with Kelly and Eve. Striker mentions Ryder on match.com. Nice plug for the online dating site. KK with her usual acrobatic moves and yelling. Oh, even a half-decent crossbody attempt. New moves from Eve, including a variation of Anderson's Mic Check. "Hoeski" chants again. Good Kelly comeback, but an abrupt rollup using the ropes nets Eve the win. Crap finish, but otherwise not bad.

R-Truth (with Little Jimmy) comes out to face Swagger. "Little Jimmy" chants at the beginning of the match. Swagger's good at the showboating. Vintage Truth legdrop with theatrics. Truth even with a resthold on Swagger? Didn't expect that. Swagger may be growing his hair out; a more pronounced side part on the blond hair now. Good lengthy match with a nice Truth comeback. Crowd definitely into this one. Solid finish.
