Thoughts: The finish was kind of dumb as the heels seemingly had control over Mist and then threw it away for the unmasking. It was good otherwise. We got a lot of flying, the heels didn't get too long of a beatdown on the faces and it ended at about the right time.

Mist is put on a stretcher after. The heels beat up Mist on the ramp while he's on the stretcher. The heels celebrate.

The announcer then close the show.

I also wanted to mention that Dave Meltzer was shown here as he was in attendance for this.

Overall thoughts: The opener was good. The tag team lightning match was alright. The women's match beat my expectations and wasn't bad at all. Templario/Kwon was average as was Yutani's tag. The main was good minus the finish. I'd give this a lower 6 out of 10 as it was an okay show overall. The main was the best match of the night.
