Mae Young Classic Episode 7 Recap

Abbey Laith and Mercedes Martinez's tourney history is shown before the card rundown. Kairi faces Dakota, Piper faces Toni Storm, and Abbey faces Mercedes in the opener. They have a fun match here, but it's a bit sloppy. Abbey sorta hits a flying crossbody off the top to the ramp for 2. Mercedes avoids the Alligator Clutch and wins with the fisherman buster. Candice comes out to face Shayna and gets a bit of an edge by dodging a kick and crotching Shayns. Candice hits a suicide dive into a DDT! Arm trapped crossface is on! Shayna picks her up and sideslams her. Candice gets her up, but the swinging neckbreaker is countered into a smooth RNC FOR THE WIN!

Piper faces Toni and we get a shockingly technical match here. Piper dominates a bit with the size and gets a splash for 2. PIPER DRIVER GETS 2.5! Piper goes up, but EATS A GERMAN! Legdrop off the top ends it! We get a terribly-acted Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen skit and get a rundown of Sane vs. Kai. Ross talks about how Kairi was so popular in Stardom, and Dakota actually dominates. Machine gun chops and a big knee gets 2 for Dakota. Kairi knocks her loopy with a backfist and they fight up top. Dakota knocks her down into a double stomp position, but it misses. Kairi's hesitation forearm doesn't - ditto the sliding forearm. Dakota high kicks her down, but a high knee misses. Alabama slam hits as does the elbow to end it!
