Analysis: Fast paced women’s tag team championship match. It was definitely fun to watch everyone get their spots in. It should have been the main event, so that was a missed opportunity. Bobby Lashley and Lana are then seen walking to the ring from the backstage area as the Last Man Standing match is NEXT!
