Sob is given a trophy after.

The announcer closes the show as usual.

Overall thoughts: It was a bigger card than usual and they did make this special. The opener was acceptable. The torneo was fine for what it was though I didn't like the end. Malayo didn't get a ton of time in his mask loss vs Arkalis but what we got was alright. Yutani's match was a waste and was just filler. The semi-main event was treated like the main as it got a lot of time and they put out a good effort. I liked that. The main was very short and didn't get to be anything special because of it. Why? I don't know. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as they had a nice card here and there was some good wrestling to be on this. I liked the show and thought it was good overall.
