Michin

Summary

This tag match was more chaotic than technical, but that worked in its favor. Ripley and IYO SKY brought a nice contrast as a team, with Ripley handling the power spots and SKY flying all over the place. Michin and B-Fab had their moments, especially when they isolated SKY and kept her from tagging out. There were a few rough transitions, but nothing that completely derailed things. The turning point came when Ripley got back in and started dominating with her usual physical style, shifting the match quickly. SKY followed up with a high-impact sequence that set up the finish, giving their team the win. It wasn’t flawless, but it had energy and moved at a pace that kept it from dragging.

Summary

This was more physical than flashy. Ripley came in with control early, using strength to shut down Michin’s attempts to speed things up. Michin had a couple solid bursts—especially with strikes and quick counters—but Ripley kept dragging things back into her kind of fight. The match had a steady pace with more emphasis on impact than sequences. Ripley ultimately overpowered her, finishing things decisively after cutting off one last comeback attempt. Not a match built around surprises—just Ripley looking dominant heading into bigger things.

Summary

Michin came into this one looking to prove she could hang with the most physically dominant woman on SmackDown, and to her credit she didn’t back down at all. She opened with quick strikes and tried to keep Jade Cargill moving, landing a few solid kicks and a running attack in the corner. The problem, as usual with Cargill, is that one mistake can flip the entire match. Michin went for another burst of offense, but Jade caught her mid-motion and turned the tide instantly with raw power. From there it was mostly Cargill asserting control, tossing Michin around and shrugging off attempts to rally. The finish came when Jade hoisted her up and delivered Jaded, planting Michin hard in the middle of the ring for the three-count. It wasn’t a long match, but it reinforced the same thing we’ve seen for months: if you don’t put Jade away quickly, she eventually runs you over.

Summary

This bout was booked as a physical singles fight with Jade Cargill facing Michin, and the way it went was basically Cargill’s power overwhelming Michin’s quicker offense. Michin flashed a few energetic high spots and looked like she might steal momentum early, but Cargill’s size advantage and clubbing offense eventually wore her down. Cargill hit her signature Jaded finisher for the clean pin, underscoring that she is still rolling with force and making a statement about her standing in the women’s division.

Summary

This one was a bit chaotic from bell to bell. Giulia and Kiana James used a blend of power and quick strike offense to keep Michin and B‑FAB on their heels, while Michin and B‑FAB tried to rally with technique and speed. At one point it looked like Michin might seize control with a flying attack, but James pulled her into some rough‑and‑tumble double‑team spots that kept the momentum shifting. The decisive moment came when Giulia hit a northern lights bomb on Mia Yim and pinned her for the clean fall. It wasn’t the most elegant tag mat‑wrestling clinic you’ll ever see, but credit to Giulia and James for seizing their opportunities and clearing the ring.
