Thoughts: It was the usual so-so Elijah match. There's no great meaning or logic to anything he does and he's not some physical specimen who can override that with cool moves and stuff. It was an average match and Shane didn't show a lot. 

Frankie Kazarian does a promo. He says he's calling his shot tonight and is the last line of defense against an intrude named Ethan Page. He says he will end Joe Hendry's 15 minutes of fame and his title run. He says Joe should have never been champ. He says Joe is concerned with clicks and going viral and he's worried about winning. He says it makes him sick that Joe is using this company as a path to fame. He says he built the company so people like Joe could flourish. He says it's his time to flourish and says the king gets his crown tonight.

Leon landed through with the title so I don't know how that works.

Thoughts: Don't get me wrong, the spots were great but this was dangerous, the finish was messed up and there were a lot of sloppy moments. I don't know how Leon is still alive. It was good and impressive overall but this had a lot of issues. I liked them following up on Moose being scared of heights here and him having Alisha help him was a fun spot.

Thoughts: Tess worked the knee here for a while. MS then took control and got the win. It wasn't that great or anything but MS' rebound into the sitout powerbomb spot was interesting.  I was surprised MS got the win here

Joe fallaway slams Page then hits a standing ovation on him to win.

Thoughts: I was kind of surprised to see Joe win and see Page take the loss here. Kaz looks like a fool for losing and burning his "Call Your Shot" chance. It was average as expected. None of these guys are that great in ring and there was no universe where this was going to be a classic. 

Trick Williams comes out after and spinning facekicks Joe. Trick then hits a trick shot. Trick picks up the title then drops it on Joe. Trick Williams is now officially a heel I guess?

Overall thoughts: It was a good TNA show. I liked the opener, which had some botches but also some wild spots. They did okay with the women's tag title match. The 6-man was fine. Young/Maclin wasn't that interesting. Santana/Ali was great. The women's title match wasn't that good and the tag title match was just okay. The main was average. I'd give this one a 7 out of 10 as they had a lot of solid matches on here, the X-Division Title match was wild and Ali/Santana was great. We also got a surprise Trick Williams appearance here.
