Thoughts: I don't like Han and Saya winning this one. They are still trying to make Hanan into a thing and it's just not going to happen. She's just an average worker and is too basic. The match was fine with them keeping things moving, but the outcome was just wrong.

Overall thoughts: It was a long show at 3 hours with 8 matches. Most of the tag matches were pretty similar and average to okay. The opener was maybe the best thing on here. It wasn't awful but there was nothing great on this one and you could skip it. I'd give this one a 5 out of 10.
