Brody takes a 310 to Yuma. Juice is on the top rope and Pac comes down. He trips Juice and gives austin the finger. Black spin kicks Austin and pins him.
Thoughts: It's a shame Buddy got injured but they did an okay job keeping things together without him. They had a fast paced match here and Bullet Club Gold were good here. The main problem is that House of Black now gets a trios title shot with only 2 members.
Christian and crew get on the tron after. He says there's only one problem - they aren't a trio anymore. We then see Buddy Matthews down on top of a chair. The Patriarchy then leave.
Overall thoughts: Dalton/Hechicero was a mess but it was a good show otherwise with them having solid matches all around. I was a little surprised Christian's segment was as tame as it was as I expected some major stunt from him. They still had some random matches here though that could have been booked better.
