Thoughts: Daiki trying to fight off Go and survive his offense made this into a fun match. Other than that, they had too many people in and not enough time which limited what this could be. This needed like 30 minutes to become something special and got about a third of it.
El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno Del Mal vs. LJ Cleary & Saxon Huxley

Thoughts: It wasn't anything special. Hijo and Mal were lazy here and did very little and they never figured out the flow of this one. There was just too many different styles involved for this to work.

Thoughts: It was an interesting match with a bad finish. I don't know how much longterm stay Oz's antics have but it works for right now. He can also do a lot of flips and kicks which is meshing well with the Noah roster. I liked this, just not the finish.
Ken gets on the mic after and wants a tag match.

Thoughts: I liked the match and thought it was good. They didn't overdo it and were able to mesh the styles well. I was okay with the dirty finish was there's a point to it and it helps out the storyline.
Team 2000X talk on the mic after. Endo says he is joining Team 2000X. He says he wants to save Noah.
Overall thoughts: It was a good show overall and designed around putting over Team 2000X. It's working right now but I don't know if it will work longterm. I liked the main and the Ken/Ozawa match. The undercard wasn't that much and The Wagner Brothers took it easy in their match. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 and think it's worth seeing if you plan on following Noah this year.
