Thursday night's estimated attendance: 150 people.

Host Sarah Schreiber welcomed us to a special Valentine's night of mixed tag action here in Bartow.

- Denzel Dejournette & MJ Jenkins defeated Luke Menzies & Deonna Purrazzo

Dejournette rolled up Menzies after a miscommunication.

- Kavita Devi & Jeet Rama defeated Reina Gonzalez & Raul Mendoza

A sit-out Bubba Bomb from Devi put Gonzalez away.

- Aliyah & Riddick Moss defeated Xia Li & Boa

As usual, Li put in a great showing here. She used flashy kicks and counters to win over the people.

Aliyah held Li's tights to score the pin and celebrated by leaping in the arms of Moss to be carried away.

- Babatunde Aiyegbusi & Lacey Lane defeated Kona Reeves & Vanessa Borne

The crowd was all over Reeves, calling him a scumbag before Babatunde made his way to the ring with Lane on his shoulders. Babatunde hit a spinning side slam for the win.

- Kassius Ohno defeated Eric Bugenhagen

Bugenhagen did an air guitar performance before the bell. He tried to scrap with Ohno but was no match and took the elbow.

After the match, Bugenhagen said he wouldn't let us down twice and did his best for an encore air guitar performance.

- Bianca Belair & The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) defeated Marina Shafir & The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly)

There was one of the loudest hair whip spots I've ever heard when Belair snapped on Strong. Ford and Belair played off each other throughout -- and Belair put Shafir away with her torture rack front slam before celebrating with Ford and Dawkins.

- Rhea Ripley defeated Mia Yim

A physical battle that even saw a bit of blood from Ripley. Ripley caught a diving crossbody and turned it into her pumphandle slam for the victory.

- Matt Riddle & Velveteen Dream defeated Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner

The crowd went crazy for Riddle and Dream teaming together. A flying knee and Dream Valley Driver combo got them the win.

Dream closed the show by thanking us all for being here tonight.

- Bianca Belair & The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) defeated Marina Shafir & The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong & Kyle O'Reilly)

Awwwww...

This should have been the main event for that reason alone.

Babatunde Aiyegbusi

When he pays the main roster tax, I wonder which name they go with...?

I see there was a Riddick Moss sighting on this show as well. That's too bad.

Babatunde Aiyegbusi

When he pays the main roster tax, I wonder which name they go with...?

He's a foreigner and not a woman, so based on empirical evidence we should expect him to lose the first name, but the first name is so much better that I think he might become the rare exception that loses the last name instead of the first.
