[HOUR ONE]

-Ricky Saints, Oba Femi, Hank & Tank, and DarkState were shown walking in the parking lot.

JAIDA PARKER vs. LASH LEGEND

Parker got her usual, enthusiastic response from the crowd as she made her ring entrance.  Parker shoved and slapped Legend, who bulldozed her into the corner.  Legend caught her as she flew in for an elbow and muscled her around.  Parker fought back by working over the left arm and shoulder.

Je’Von Evans was shown walking in the parking lot before Parker dove onto Lash for a two-count.  She tried her corner hip attack, but Legend caught her by the throat and chokeslammed her for a near-fall before they cut to a split-screen commercial break. [c]

After Rexulti talked about 50 side effects to their medication and Law & Order was plugged, they came back to full-screen to show Legend dominating Parker until she missed a splash.  Jaida threw some rib jabs and took down Legend with a shoulder block.  She hit a backstabber and running blockbuster for a near-fall.  Parker barely kicked out of a pin attempt.

Legend went shoulder-first into the ring post.  This time, Parker hit her corner hip attack and high-stepped.  They slid out to the floor, where Legend flattened Parker with a pump kick.  She hit her Lash Extension on Parker on the announce table, which didn’t look like much since Parker was only inches off the table before being dropped on it.  Another Lash Extension in the ring resulted in a three-count.  After the match, Parker jumped Legend as she was walking up the ramp.  She threw Legend into the ring steps, then Hipnoticed her through the barricade.

WINNER: Lash Legend at 11:41

(Miller’s Take: This was a really good opener.  It was hard-hitting and intense, especially the aftermatch with Miss Parker showing that she wasn’t done with Legend by a long shot.  I’m looking forward to the continuation of this.  Also, Legend should never do that Lash Extension on the announce table ever again.)

-In the back, Arianna Grace and Blake Monroe talked cosmetics until Jordynne Grace walked through the door.  The other ladies separated them.  Evolve Women’s Champion Kali Armstrong took offense to Grace’s presence, bringing up how she ruined her NXT debut a few weeks ago.  She told Jordynne that she had a Kali Armstrong problem now.
