Thoughts: It was a solid match here with The Project getting thrown around and Darkstate acting as the defacto faces. The finish made sense as Tony D wanted revenge on Darkstate and getting it. The crowd liked it and this will definitely solidify The Project as a team here.

Thoughts: It was a fast paced and entertaining battle. I wasn't totally surprised to see Elio win here since the title wasn't helping Troy and wasn't really made for a bigger guy like him. Elio and Eli got to show off their flying here and Troy used his power against them. This went better than expected.

Thoughts: Zaria finally turned on Sol. It's been building for a while and they finally did it here. I knew Sol wasn't winning as this was too early in the show for a face title win. I wanted to see Jacy/Sol so I was a bit disappointed.

Thoughts: I figured Borne had a shot at winning this since it was the main. It was an okay bout. Borne was a good face and threw good punches. This had a bunch of shenanigans near the end. I'm curious as to what happens with Page from here as he could do well on the main roster. It's good to see Borne win a belt and we'll see how he does as a champ.

Overall thoughts: We had a lot of wrestling here and almost every match was a title match which was a nice. We got a bunch of stuff set up for next week. I liked the show and thought the opener was the best thing on here. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 overall.
