Thoughts: The result was a surprise. It's something I'd be concerned of if I were Gallus as they hadn't been used outside of this show much lately and it could be a way to job them out. The match was fast paced and okay. It didn't get a ton of time but they did what they could with it.

Overall thoughts: We only got 2 new matches here. Both were pretty quick and nothing memorable. It is always nice to see Dani Palmer though and I was surprised the rookies beat Gallus in the main. It was an average episode and I wouldn't really recommend this one, though it's an okay way to spend 20 minutes.
