This was a fun main event with everyone going all out. Lots of people doing dives that normally don't do them and they all took big bumps. Lots of nearfalls here and it was a good effort by all.

Overall thoughts: It was a good show. The main and semi-main both delivered and the Yota tag match was good too.
