Best #2: The Knockouts Triple Threat
We got a break from all of the Mash-Up stuff with a Knockouts triple threat match late in the show. Taya Valkyrie faced off against two of her former challengers, Madison Rayne and Havok. And though it was a non-title match, it was still a much-needed breather from the tournament.
Rayne and Valkyrie spent a large portion of the match trying to wear down the powerful Havok, but she managed to overpower them even in two-on-one situations. Her overwhelming strength really came into play when she managed to dump both competitors overhead with a Samoan drop/fallaway slam combination.
Valkyrie and Rayne did put in some great offense in their own rights, taking down the monster on several occasions, and lighting each other up in the process when they didn't have to worry about Havok stalking them. The ending saw John E. Bravo yank Valkyrie away from danger, allowing Havok to pin Rayne with a Tombstone Piledriver.
It was exactly what we needed after over an hour of tag-team action, breaking up the routine and giving us something different. And while some other great Knockouts were left off the show this week, it was nice to see the Knockouts Champion on the card.
