It was a good main and they put a lot of effort into it. I liked the story of Kento and KN going after each other here. Omori put out a good effort but really was just here along for the ride with Yuma. I thought Kento and KN should have gotten to do more together since the match was built around them. Omori winning was a way to give him some credibility, but it doesn't really makeup for the last year where he's been treated like garbage.
Overall thoughts: We had 4 good matches here with the main and semi-main being good. This was a good show.
