Thoughts
: This was a good segment. Skyler being the one to turn was a surprise. He cut a great promo here.

Thoughts: It was a decent match. It went a little longer than it needed to and it died down some in the middle when Trick and Trey could just not get on the same page. They did a good job of building up Maclin vs Ryan and focused on Joe/Trick and Moose/Leon.

Overall thoughts: The main was a nice star filled main and the Order 4 segment was the highlight of the night. EY/Sami wasn't bad either. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 total as the main and the Order 4 segment were enough to put this over the edge for me. The Order 4 segment was the best thing TNA has done in a long time.
