Thoughts: I was surprised to see Maya get the pin here. That was a bit random and I'm not sure why they did that here.

It was another faster paced bout that picked up towards the end. It was acceptable but really only notable for Athena's team losing.  

Overall thoughts: We had a bunch of random matches here but that was kind of the point of the show. There was nothing that great but nothing awful either. It was a totally watchable show and we actually had some of the champs in action which was nice. Lee/Prime was the match of the night and a fun bout. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as we had multiple acceptable matches here.
