Actually it was Kairi who botched it by going to her knees :

This is how Mercedes' move was supposed to look. The opponent is supposed to land on their feet at first before taking the DDT. So stop saying Mercedes botched it. pic.twitter.com/vxBHfm8sFn

There are multiple replies to this tweet that explain why Kairi went to her knees. Mercedes rushed the move. Kairi didn't have a chance to pick her legs up like in the video.

Sasha was definitely rusty.

Great to see Bayley there.

So now what will be the update for the mystery partner of Saraya next week against Jamie and Britt? I wonder.^^

Overall this WK17 was excellent but clearly not on the level of 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14.
Okada/Jay was a great main event but I expected something more for the anniversary. Still strong match and Jay White is hilarious.
But the show stealer obviously was Omega/Ospreay. What a freaking match. The moves, the story, the violence, everything was perfect or almost perfect. I love that the Ospreay/Ibushi match was the main factor ultimately in Kenny wanting to face Ospreay. Huge fan of the Golden Lovers.

"TNA means Total Non-stop Acclaimed."^^

BYE BYE BRAY.

I was hoping the Old Man was gone for good, but……always figured he'd pull something like this.

SAraya said Toni was going to be her partner but Shida looked upset about it..Banks err..Mone' could come to Shidas ' aide or could work something in to beat Jades ' winning streak.

Britt said that she was "the boss of AEW".^^
I don´t know what will happen but I would really be interested by a Hikaru Shida´s heel turn.
Saraya is really unlikeable I would say the way she talks. I guess it´s on purpose. It´s part of the story.
I hope they keep pushing Hayter because she´s clearly the best they have.

Also on that show, the Ricky Starks/Jericho match was excellent.
The lay out of the match was almost perfect.
Ricky Starks is clearly going to beat MJF later in the year. He´s a star.
And Swerve is so f**king good. How am I supposed to hate this guy?^^

"And Karl Gotch I´m sorry, you can kiss my ass."^^ Kenny corpsed on that one.
Don Callis is a wonderful troll.^^

And Vince coming back is just wild. I doubt he´s coming back just to be the chairman or sell the company. I can´t see Vince not being part of creative if he´s back.

Goddamn it, Vince. All I can do is shake my head and laugh. Is this life imitating art or the other way around?

Meanwhile Tony Khan has jokes

He just needs to die. He's such a sack of s**t.
