Kali Armstrong stuns Jaida Parker
Kali Armstrong scored a statement victory as she defeated Jaida Parker in a fiercely contested matchup. The newcomer kept Parker off balance nearly the entire matchup, even using underhanded tactics like an eye rake to gain an advantage. Parker was stunned and, in her confusion, fell victim to a match-ending Kali Connection. Later, backstage, Parker destroyed the locker room until Nattie appeared and offered her help.
Jaida Parker is PISSED!!
Can @NatbyNature help? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/V6tkLPRPzn

The Vanity Project’s new member
Jackson Drake managed to knock off Jasper Troy in singles competition thanks to a big assist from Myka Lockwood. Not even the numbers game could help Drake early on as Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor couldn’t phase Troy. That all changed when Lockwood jumped the barricade and shockingly slammed Troy, allowing Drake to hit a 450 Splash for the win.
WOW!! 😱
Off the assist from Myka Lockwood, @JacksonDrake03 picks up the WIN! pic.twitter.com/R5pRJYRoCO
