Last time in action: Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley defeated Fatal Influence (SD, May 22), Flair and Alexa Bliss defeated B-Fab and Michin (SD, May 15), Jade Cargill lost to Ripley (WrestleMania 42)
Michael Cole welcomed us to the show before WWE aired a video to hype the event. The first match on the card was the six-woman tag with Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss taking on Jade Cargill, B-Fab and Michin.
Cargill opted not to face Ripley at first, so she tagged in B-Fab to start the match. The women’s champion took control and tagged in Bliss for a quick double-team. The heels were able to take control once Flair tagged in by cutting the ring in half with quick tags and double-team moves.
The crowd popped when The Eradictor got the hot tag late in the match. It looked like Flair and Ripley finally found common ground and had a nice moment with Bliss before it finally came to an end with Cargill hitting Ripley with Jaded for the win.
It was probably smart to start the show with this match. There were no titles on the line, and it didn’t really matter who won, but it had enough action to get the crowd excited. In fact, it’s safe to say this bout exceeded expectations.
Result: Cargill, B-Fab and Michin defeated Ripley, Bliss and Flair
Notable Moments and Observations
The video package showing highlights from past SNME shows was great.
Flair’s gear was covered in friendship bracelets she has received from fans over the years. Jade’s team wore gear paying homage to Michael Jackson.
It was nice to hear Cole mention some of Michin’s previous accomplishments, especially since WWE has never booked her to win a title.
Michin’s poison rana was a nice spot.
B-Fab has clearly made some improvements, but she still feels a little out of place on the main roster.
