The finish looked great with Jade hitting the Super Jaded through the table. Belair didn’t play a bigger role during the match. Belair holding Jade’s hand but not acknowledging her was interesting and something to keep an eye on. Another solid match on the show (⭐️⭐️⭐️)

This show should be a celebration for the wrestlers on the show and not the company who put on the second Women’s PLE after seven year. Cathy Kelley would’ve been perfect here to interview Vaquer. A nice promo from Vaquer who will be a big star on the WWE main roster.

Loved the storytelling with Ripley showing frustration after having the win but the referee was out. The story here was Ripley has never beat Iyo in a WWE match dating back to their time in NXT. Iyo’s expression after Ripley kicked out at two for her Over The Moonsault was just as awesome. Naomi cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase and winning the Women’s World Title was a great moment for her. It was also a great heel move not giving the fans a winner in the Iyo and Ripley. I liked Naomi winning because she can now take Liv Morgan’s spot as the top heel for the RAW Women’s Division. We can also get another match between Iyo and Ripley after not getting a finish. This would’ve taken the lead for WWE Women’s Match of the Year if we got a winner between Iyo and Ripley. This was an incredible match to watch.

You can really see the level of friendship and appreciation both Iyo and Ripley have for each other.
