This match ends a night focused solely on “wrestling.” With a series like this, every match seems important. I think it is a little confusing and disheveled, but it gives the purest fans a chance to sit and watch 2 hours of good wrestling. That is what happened tonight. I do hope that they utilize their “main” guys more and have the wildcards and X-Division guys less as weeks pass. I am not sure if they truly know where they are going from here, but I am taking tonight as a success.
 
They delivered really good wrestling content from beginning to end. It is a simple science of great wrestling, some backstage segments and fluent content to keep the viewer intrigued.
