Result: Jax lands the Samoan Drop to retain the title (10:20).

Rating: Nia Jax's booking continues to be weird and offputting - that forced post-match anti-bullying speech sure didn't help - but at least they got the result right here, as predictable and foregone as it was.

Jax and Bliss just don't have much of a spark in the ring together, so this never rose above watchable mediocrity. There's no world where this needed to last 10 minutes, and a quasi-squash that ran half that length would've been far more effective at selling Nia as the tenacious champ.

It was a match that happened...and that's it. 5/10
