Mia Yim beat Sarah Logan (FKA Crazy Mary Dobson). Another weird match to be giving away in the first round, but at least they didn't job out Mia early.

Also Kimber Lee beat Alpha Female in what I guess they're pushing as an upset.

I'm surprised at that one, Alpha's got a unique look in the tournament, plus she's the only mainland European.

Alexa Bliss was apparently marking out in the front row for Kairi.

There is the elbow drop from the match, if anyone is curious.

Isn't that elbow drop going to destroy her hip or am I just misreading how she takes the impact?

That seems to be the general consensus, but she's been doing it for 5-6 years now, so I imagine she probably has some way to minimize how much damage she takes from that.

She's also a wrestler and probably doesn't care about destroying her hip as long as she looks cool.

It's actually safer than the regular elbow drop where you do land on your side. She turns it into a back bump when she lands with the illusion of hitting it on her side.

Don't go looking for the bump though, once you see it you can't unsee it.
