Thoughts: They didn't have a ton of time but made the most of it. The heels controlled the first fall and the techs controlled most of the 3rd fall. Atlantis saved most of his stuff until the end when he got a bunch in. Flip stuck to his name and did a lot of flipping around being the workrate guy here. It was a decent main.

Overall thoughts: I liked three of the matches here as the main, the lightning match and the Robin tag were all good. Nothing was must see but it was an okay show overall.
