Kelani Jordan makes Wren Sinclair tap out
Despite not being one hundred percent, Women’s Speed Champion Wren Sinclair took on Kelani Jordan. Jordan jumped Sinclair from the jump, dialing in on Sinclair’s injured knee. Throughout the match, Sinclair’s knee troubled her, as Jordan kept focusing on the pain, executing multiple lower-body submissions. After enduring a mountain of pain, Sinclair had no choice but to tap to Jordan’s unique knee bar.

A DarkState explanation
Last week, DarkState sacked Saquon Shugars from the faction. They didn’t apologize for the brutal attack. As Cutler James reminded, in DarkState, “the success of an individual is a success for the group,” something Shugars lost along the way. Lennox said Shugars set him aside, thought he was the leader. It was all about jealousy. He earned every opportunity Robert Stone and John Cena gave him. DarkState then put the whole locker room on notice: they’re back.
Speed to the draw
Sean Legacy met Dorian Van Dux in the Speed Tournament First Round Match. Legacy and Van Dux traded intense moves back and forth, but neither could connect with a landing blow. Despite their best efforts, the clock ran out, ending the match in a draw and eliminating both Superstars from the tournament.
A DRAW!?!
