Thoughts: It was the usual Chen match with armdrags and armlocks. Hill did a decent job here as a face and match up well with Chen. It was fine and I had no issues with it but I wish Chen had a more lethal looking finisher.

Chen helps Hill up after.

Overall thoughts: It was a good edition of Level Up. They followed up on the Reid/Diggs feud and all 3 matches were solid here. I enjoyed it and had no issues with this one. It wasn't must see but they did a good job here.
