Thoughts: I figured The System or The Righteous were winning here. It was a fast paced and okay bout here with some flying and a lot of people tagging in and out constantly.

Rosemary is in a mental asylum. She talks but the music is too loud to hear here. She says there's one last shot at making things right. Something appears and disappears behind her.

Moose and Alisha Edwards come out. Moose says the one thing that p!sses him off about The System is that they call themselves a family. He says it's a group of 4 guys who get their feelings hurt when one guy outshines them. Moose points out his former Atlanta Falcons teammates and calls them family. Moose says The System's new motto is, "You can't beat The System".

Moose says he will start beating every member of The System next week. He says he will beat Cedric Alexander in an Atlanta Street Fight. He says Brian Myers is next and he will remind him why he was once called Edge's b!tch. He says Bear Bronson can't lace his boots. He says he's saving Eddie Edwards for last. Alisha interrupts. She says she walked down with him for him. She says she stood with The System. She says she doesn't recognize Myers and Eddie but Moose changed that. She says she will stand with him when he beats the System one by one. Moose says he will beat the hell out of Eddie in front of his life.

Leon 2nd rope twisting suplexes Nic. Leon swanton 450's Nic and pins him.

Thoughts: It was an entertaining bout but I don't love Leon beating Nic. Nic's one of the few stars they have and needs to be protected. Leon getting that win over him should have had a lot more build and should have been a bigger deal.

Eric Young comes out and nails Leon with a forearm. Eric piledrivers him on the floor. 

Mike Santana talks in the ring. He said last week he said he was fed up with Maclin and said he didn't have the balls to take accountability. He says him and Tom Hannifan went to bat for Steve but says you can't save everyone. He says he will give Steve what he wants and wants Santino to reinstate Maclin. 

Daria Rae comes out instead. She says Mike doesn't run the show, she does. She says she agrees that Maclin should be reinstated. She says she is officially reinstating Steve Maclin. She says when or if Mike faces him, it's up to her. 

Santino Marella interrupts. Santino says a date has been set and approved for Mike vs Maclin. He says they will have a title match at Sacrifice. Mike says it didn't matter what either had to say as when Maclin steps foot in the building, he has a date with death. 

The commentators talk about Santana vs Maclin to close the show. Tom says the company enabled Maclin and is upset. Matt says Maclin will get his @ss kicked and will get what he wanted.

Overall thoughts: Nemeth/Slater and the 4-way were the best matches on here. This was more about building stuff up for future shows than solving anything on this show. Leon Slater got an upset win over Nic Nemeth. Maclin is back. Rosemary is doing magic and ODB got into a fight with a c-list celeb. We also had tons of audio issues all night long. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was okay for the most part.
