Thoughts: It was a short one but I liked it. They kept it moving and the faces won. I don't think Eva got in at all here. The work wasn't the cleanest as usual but there were no botches. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches as usual here among various recaps. Cody vs Axel got a ton of time but it was alright. Cody did a lot of flying around in it. The women's trios match was something different but I liked it. They kept it short and there weren't any bad botches. As always, there's nothing you have to see here but what we got was fine.
