Thoughts: They continued to push the issues between Esf, Hech, Val and Euf ahead of the mask match. It was fine for what it was but not great. They got a bunch of time for this one but I don't think it was anyone's best work ever.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent show. All 3 matches had some okay parts to them. The women's match would have been really good if they had hit their spots clean. The second match was the best match on the show and the main continued the issues between the 4 guys in the mask match at the Anniversary show.
