Overall thoughts: We only had 2 new matches here but they were shown in full and they were worthwhile. The opener was fine and the main ended up being fun with a bunch of false finishes. We then got an angle after with Manu jumping Jay Blake in the locker room. I thought it was a decent show and I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
