Thoughts: I don't love the intentional DQ finish as there's rarely ever a good reason for it. Hech could have broken up the hold but chose to pull off the mask and get his team DQ'd instead. It wasn't even like he tried to sneak it in and got caught, he did it in front of the ref. The match got a lot of time and was alright outside of the finish but nothing too memorable. 

Mist challenges Hech to a singles match after.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. Both got plenty of time but neither was that great. I didn't like Templario vs Ultimo at all and the main was average with a bad finish. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and wouldn't really recommend it.
