Thoughts: I liked it. It was a fun tag and there was nothing wrong with it. They even got Torito into the fray on this one. The faces got the win as expected and it was neat to see young Cody vs young Drew. 

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here as usual along with recaps plus a rare Lawler interview with Kofi on the stage. Both matches were fine and it was a decent episode of Superstars.
