Thoughts: Like the opener, it was a good juniors match. They didn't overdo it, they had some nice highlights and they went home before it got stale. This was a very nice and clean bout and I thought they did well with it. They got the pacing down good here. Akira fired up at one point while grabbing the ropes which was a neat way to pump up the crowd even when not really doing anything of note.

Thoughts: We've seen these two have good bouts before but they didn't get enough time and it was little of note. Rusev won rather easy here and we never really got the hoss wrestling I was hoping for. This was nothing.

Overall thoughts: We actually had some matches with stakes to them here which is very rare for this program. We also had 4 matches here compared to the 1 match we got a few weeks ago. I enjoyed the show. We had a bunch of shorter but entertaining bouts. We got some highlights and it was a good appetizer to make you want to see more. I thought it was a fun 40 minutes of wrestling and I'd recommend it. I'd give it a 6 out of 10.
