Thoughts: It was a random one but it was a fun little match. The Vybe Guys are likeable team and the crowd was pretty hot for them. I liked this one.
Overall thoughts: It was an okay ROW show as usual here. All 3 matches were just fine to okay and nothing was particularly great or bad. The women's match looked like it could have been good but then ended suddenly. The main got a decent bit of time and was the best match on the show. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 total and I liked the show
