Thoughts: UG's team won in straight falls here. UG and Star are a mish-mash team but it was okay for what it was. At least Temp didn't lose clean. I don't like it when the luchadores get their masks ripped off through as it ruins some of the mystery and the aura.

Thoughts: It was a decent main here with Atlantis doing basic babyface stuff and Kyle not overdoing it for a chance. It was one of Kyle's better efforts in months though some basic holds and more basic heeling would have made this better.
Kyle congratulates Atlantis after. Kyle says Atlantis won because this is his house and says they do it next time in his house.
Overall thoughts: As usual, it was a decent show. Nothing was too great on here but all of the work top to bottom was solid enough. The main was fine and the women did okay. The mini's didn't have the best match and the semi-main's finish could have been better. They also set up Jericho vs Mistico here which should draw a nice house.
