Thoughts: It was ugly. There were a couple of pins where it looked like the count was interrupted and a lot of sloppy spots. McKenzie messed up a call. Kelani was the last person standing on Team TNA despite being a WWE girl and Team NXT won with 2 people remaining in the end. It got lots of time but the quality and booking wasn't there.

Thoughts: They did a bit too much like usual in Ali's matches. They had an unusual spot with Ali purposely getting his foot caught in the mic cable then Ali getting pinned with the foot still in it. I didn't think this was that good.

Thoughts: It was nice to see Team TNA win. It was alright and a lot better than the women's match but it wasn't a classic. They had limited time, commercial breaks and didn't even get to do anything too crazy. Joe Hendry also surprisingly didn't play any real role in this. Trick turning on Saints with so much time left also was going to bring the finish down some.

Ava and Santino talk in the back. Ava congratulates Santino. Santino says the women showed they are the best. Ava says she's glad their partnership is on better turns. She says she is having a battle royale for a women's title shot and says she'd love some Knockouts to be in it.

Overall thoughts: It was a bit of let down. Osiris Griffin had a bad night and single-handedly destroyed the opener with lots of sloppy moments. The women's match was similarly ugly with lots of issues. Ali/Page wasn't that good. The main was fine but it didn't get the time it needed and they didn't go all out. It was nice to see Team TNA win though. If I had to re-do this, I would do it on a PLE where the time is unlimited and where everyone can go all out, not on TV where there's commercial breaks and limited time. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 mostly just for it happening, the main being okay and WWE doing the right thing and letting TNA win. But it was by no means the classic show it could have been.
