3. A Quick Note On The Elite

The finish to their win over Private Party was embarrassing, but the body of the match was very good and the character work, again, was priceless.

Before the match, they were interviewed by Renee Paquette. After recapping their character arc - why is so much TV wrestling dialogue spoken as if the audience is comprised of infants who've yet to develop functioning memory? - Nicholas Jackson (wearing his best Tony Khan rictus grin) wondered aloud why he wasn't being interviewed by Alex Marvez when Renee pointed out that Private Party had defeated them previously. This was a great dig; he outwardly loathes Marvez, so what does that say about Renee?

In a great/horrible heel line, Matthew told Renee that she was doing a great job, but he had just one note: she should try smiling a little bit more. Women don't exist to react brightly to men, but they do in the mind of this incredible douchebag act.

After Orange Cassidy and Trent defeated the Kingdom, the Bucks ascended from their new Bucksvator just to be able to go back down. An utterly pointless and funny flex of their power, but that's what those types do.
