Knowing that Wardlow wasn’t gonna win this it could have only went a few ways. Wardlow at least looked decent here and dominate at times. A bit sloppy at times between the two and a bit longer than it should have been but it continues the Punk / MJF story and Wardlow turning on MJF.
2.5 / 5
An out of nowhere finish closed out a less than stellar match. Powerhouse Hobbs I enjoy and has some good mobility for a big guy. I just can’t get into Dante Martin though. He had some good moves here but doesn’t click for me.
1.5 / 5
Pretty much a squash for Serena. Match was ended during her submission by ref stoppage. Makes Serena a heel but she’s also not the greatest in ring right now so I’m not sure what the end goal here is.
1 / 5
Lucha and Hardy are both good with the crowd but as a match this was somewhat tame. Penta wasn’t able to have his normal faster paced match and Hardy just doesn’t bring much in ring anymore to me.
1.5 / 5
A really quick match. The crowd really didn’t seem into it. The Acclaimed are the heels going for the belts eventually (maybe?) but in ring only half the tag is even okay. Bear Country isn’t around enough and doesn’t speak on tv so no one cared.
1 / 5
A fine main event that had a clear outcome. Sammy just won so no way he loses already. Daniel Garcia is good in ring too its just he hasn’t found his mark yet so he comes up short in ring. Sammy was good though with some great moves. The match was good and entertaining but nothing to go out of your way for.
3 / 5
