Tessa talks on the mic after. She says she doesn't like winning like that and likes winning in the middle of the ring. Tess says they want another match. Pers mocks her and says she hasn't seen a dumber foreigner than her. They then all fight. I'm not sure how the foreigner line works since both Pers and Tess were born in the US.

Thoughts: It was alright. The heels stuck to the basics for the most part then the faces made their comeback. They did overdo it a little but the tag format covered some of the issues. I thought this could have been a little shorter. I figured Mistico's team would win here as it only made sense.
The announcer then closes the show.
Overall thoughts: The opener was fine. The women's match was so-so. The Villanos tag was okay but it dragged a little and wasn't their best possible effort. Star Jr.'s tag was acceptable as was the semi-main. The main was alright and maybe the best match of the night. I'd give this a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show, but there was nothing must see here.
