Roxanne Perez’s homecoming in Laredo, Texas, got the desired crowd reaction, but the match itself left something to be desired.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria battled the Judgment Day with a future tag title opportunity hanging in the balance. Match dynamics were somewhat thrown off by the crowd cheering for Roxanne and Raquel Rodriguez, whose hometown is about three hours away.

However, the action never really clicked in the way one would have expected or wanted. Bayley and Lyra had some miscommunications that didn’t look to be part of the match story, and the match just kind of chugged along until Perez hit Bayley with a Pop Rox for the pin.

Of all the matches we’ve seen on WWE television, this certainly was one of them.
