Thoughts: Moone got more in than expected here but I don't see a ton in her. She needs to improve her look. She does seem to be somewhat likeable though. It wasn't that good of a squash and Billie won as expected.

Dante takes a sequence from the Dark Order ending in a german and Darius bottom rope springboard flatliners Alex. Alex is thrown back and down by Darius and Action then pinned.

Thoughts: It was your usual multi-man match. Oddly, we didn't get many dives here. It was just people coming in and out until the next guy came in. It was okay for what it was but I doubt it leads to anything.

Overall thoughts: ROH showed some promise over the last few weeks but was back to its old self here with random matches, no real storylines and no build to anything in the future. Combine that with the show not that being that great in-ring and I wouldn't recommend this.
