MEYERS, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Byron Saxton, Wade Barrett<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>REASONS TO WATCH\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can Apollo Crews win his fourth match in a row?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>(1) GIGI DOLIN vs. ELEKTRA LOPEZ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dolin snap mared Lopez to the mat and applied a chinlock. Lopez imediately escaped and reversed into a wrist lock. Dolin somersaulted to break the hold, then swept Lopez&#8217;s leg and applied another chinlock on the mat. Dolin ran the ropes, ducked a clothesline, and hit Lopez with a forearm strike against the ropes. Dolin hit a drop kick to the small of Lopez&#8217;s back, then covered her for two. Lopez knocked Dolin to the mat with a double chop to the neck, then dropped an elbow and covered Dolin for two.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez knocked Dolin down again with a front kick and a knee lift. She covered Dolin for another two-count, then applied a chinlock. She took Dolin down with a neck breaker and covered again for two, then went back to the chinlock. Dolin got to her feet and covered Lopez with a backslide. Lopez kicked out at two, then Dolin landed a few strikes before leveling Lopez with a clothesline. The women exchanged quick two-count covers. Dolin was first to her feet, and smashed Lopez with a big roundhouse kick, then followed up with the Gigi Driver. Dolin remained on top for the cover and three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Gigi Dolin by pinfall in 5:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Decent match. The one-two finishing sequence from Dolin was extra cool. That kick seems difficult to execute well, but it looked good on camera.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) APOLLO CREWS vs. JAVIER BERNAL<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1996974829\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Bernal took Crews down with a quick arm drag. He followed up with a scoop slam. Crews blocked a second attempt at an arm drag, then came back with a body slam and a few arm drags of his own \u2013 these were more fierce than Bernal&#8217;s. He applied an arm bar on the mat. Bernal got free and applied an upright side headlock. Crews fired him off and took him down with a drop kick on the rebound. Crews mounted Bernal in the corner and landed ten downward punches. Crews elevated Bernal with a gorilla press. The power was impressive but Bernal slipped free, then knocked Crews down with a low drop kick. Bernal hit a second drop kick to Crews&#8217;s shoulder on the apron, knocking him out to the floor. We cut to break.<\/p>\n<p>Bernal maintained control during the break and was kicking Crews on the mat in a corner. Crews stood and landed several punches. Bernal took Crews to the mat with a double underhook slam, then dropped a sliding leg drop before covering for two. Bernal choked Crews against the middle rope, then twisted Crews into a deliberate neck breaker. He covered Crews for two. Crews landed some labored punches, but Bernal took him down again with a knee lift. Bernal locked his legs around Crews&#8217;s neck on the mat. Crews twisted over onto his belly, then stood up with Bernal sat on his shoulders. Bernal slipped down and Bernal attempted a piledriver, but Crews blocked and executed a back body drop.<\/p>\n<p>Crews splashed Bernal in the corner, then clotheslined him to the mat. Crews landed two kicks and a flying clothesline. Crews hoisted Bernal with another gorilla press, but this time dropped him onto the mat. Crews hit a standing moonsault, then covered for two. Crews went to the top rope and rolled through a splash when Bernal rolled out of the way. Bernal leaped at Crews from the middle rope. Crews caught him, but Bernal defied all odds and physics by converting this into a DDT with no momentum on his side. He turned Crews over and covered for two. Crews reversed out of a neckbreaker and kicked Bernal to the mat. He went again to the top rope, and this time connected with the frog splash. Crews covered Bernal for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Apollo Crews by pinfall in 8:25.<\/p>\n<p><em>Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Lots of teasing \u2013 Crews teased both the gorilla press and frog splash, then delivered both later in the match. The Bernal DDT was distracting. I think they had a slight misstep in rhythm that caused them to freeze before proceeding into a DDT after Bernal&#8217;s momentum had been erased by Crews on the catch. Barrett covered by calling it \u201ca double reversal.\u201d Still, a pretty good match.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>SHOW SCORE (0-10): 8.0<\/p>\n<p><em>Find Mike Meyers on Twitter\/X @themikeshow42<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/12\/05\/wwe-raw-ratings-report-12-4-week-after-punk-did-viewership-fall-back-in-line-with-recent-averages-key-metrics-and-comparisons\/\">WWE Raw Ratings Report (12\/4): Week after Punk, did viewership fall back in line with recent averages?
