Punk going full heel on the mic against MJF and Long Island was good. Some humorous lines and not anything close to what he did in Chicago against MJF but was fun.
An average battle royal match as royal matches go. Some fun little spots and moments in here though. Also served to further some Team Taz stories and the MJF story as well as a future Wardlow split.
3 / 5
A fun predictable 8 man tag. Most of the guys got their time in, Luchasarus gets the hot tag as normal. Jungle Boy continues to be the star of the match. Varsity Blondes for me continue to just be fantastic, Pillman in particular.
3.5 / 5
A shockingly super fun tag match here. Rules are ignored so that spot after spot can take place. While you know the Bucks wouldn’t lose they put up a great fight and made it believable that it just might happen. Post match beat down leading to the return of Trent after his spinal surgery was great too and Trent looks fantastic.
4 / 5
A good back and forth between Riho and Hayter. Riho having to figure out after several close calls how to put Hayter away worked well while also making Hayter look like a great credible threat. This also continues the feud of Riho and Baker going on with Riho continuing to look like a threat for the belt.
3.5 / 5
The usual dominate style match Danielson has been doing while running through the Dark Order guys. Silver did get random spurts of offense in that made him look good. Danielson of course wins and dominates by the end of the match. Nothing bad just the usual thing he’s been doing.
3 / 5
