Thoughts: This was a random match but I liked it and I thought it was good. It's 2025 and Strong is basically wrestling the same match today. There were lots of backbreakers as you would expect and Paul took a beating. Paul looked really good here with his agility and easily seemed a step above everyone else. I would have liked them to lean more into face vs heel stuff though since London is a good face.

Overall thoughts: The main was the only thing worthwhile on here. There were virtually no storylines going on in this one either, so it was an average show. It was easy to get through but I wouldn't give it more than 5 out of 10 overall. I wouldn't recommend this one.
