Thoughts: It was another faster bout here with a lot of action. Tate's doing a pretty good job and is learning quick. I was surprised to see Myka catch him off the apron and slam him around. Both Drake and Tate flew around a bit here. Drake's apron pele kick was neat. I liked this.

Naraku gives tony his belt after and bows to him. Naraku then looks at Rook outside.

Overall thoughts: It was a night of fast paced matches with a lot of action. I didn't like Rain/Zaria. OTM/Culling was fine. I liked Drake/Tate. The men's Speed title bout was acceptable as was Darkstate's match. The main was fine and Kam Hendrix continues to look good in these bigger matches. There was nothing must see on this one but it was never really boring and as always, a lot went down here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show.
