Thoughts: It was an average match. They had some rough points early on and Sol had to try to sell the knee while doing her usual flying which made things tough.

JC takes him down and puts his hands in Lee's face. Lee cartwheels out of a wristlock. JC lifts Lee onto the top rope and Lee ends up rolling him up. JC flips him with a lariat.

Jc jumps up to the top rope and is stuck in tree of woe. Lee top rope double stomps him as he hangs for 2. Lee takes a deadlift superplex. JC misses a 450 off the top and Lee hits destino for the win.

Thoughts: It was an okay athletic match. It wasn't great or anything but JC made for a good opponent for Lee and was able to be his base for his flying. You almost forget what Creed can do at times because he's not really featured all that much, likely stemming from a botch Brutusball that he and Brutus did on Damian Priest months ago.

Overall thoughts: There was only 2 new matches as usual here. Neither were must see. Creed/Lee was fine but they didn't go all out to do a classic or anything. I wouldn't recommend this one.
