Thoughts: This was a lose-lose as neither team needed to lose right now. The Runners losing was the worst choice as they've tried LFI dozens of times and The Runners are more over. The spot with the chord being thrown wasn't caught that well on camera and I don't know what it was about. The match was fine.
The Runners get beat up on after. FTR then comes out to help. The faces clear off LFI.

AA takes multiple rounds of corner attacks and a tombstone. Pac pins AA.
Thoughts: It was a decent tag. The dropkick > german bump that Pac took was wild. I liked CC catching Dante off the tope. Top Flight losing was no shock here and I was surprised it didn't get more time.
The heels beat up the faces after. Mox and Marina Shafir come down to help beat up the faces. Lio rush and Leila Grey try to help out. Shafir high kicks Grey from behind.
The show then ends there though it bleeds into Battle of the Belts which is next.
Overall thoughts: As usual, it was a heavy in-ring wrestling show with some squashes mixed in. I was okay with the main, The Outrunners match and the Garcia/Private Party match. I didn't like Ricochet/AR Fox or Atlantis vs Kyle Fletcher. The show was average overall and there was nothing must see on this one.
