This was a good, hard-hitting match. The two beat the crap out of each other and it was action packed from start to finish with big power moves. I don't think these two could have done this much better than they did. Mr. Stone coming out was a little random but Bron and Von have been feuding, so it's not entirely too far out there.
We see Tiffany and Becky arrive.
Trick and Melo are interviewed. Trick promises to put on a show and says Melo will put out the fire breathing dragon. Melo says he's ready for the big match. Melo said it's not about him, it's about "us". Melo says they will both walk out with titles on their shoulders.

I'm a big Trick apologist, but if we are being honest, this wasn't good. Half of Trick's offense missed and this was virtually all shenanigans with various refs. If you want to see where Dom's real skill level is right now, watch this one. It's not that high. It's nice to see Trick win though.

I didn't like Tiff losing here. Becky didn't need to win and a win over Becky would have helped put over Tiff. The first half of this relied a lot on mostly weak weapons shots and the 2nd half got better once Tiff could do some of her flippy offense. It was a good main, but the wrong person won.
Overall thoughts: It was a good but not a great show. I did like all of the matches but Corbin/Bron was the only match that really got to the next level. Ilja/Melo was good but could have been better and the main was also good but could have been better.
