Thoughts: It was pretty wild as expected. It's hard to call it a match as they kept cutting to various scenes and it's hard to know what was actually canon here or not. It was interesting though and probably way better than anything else they would have done otherwise though. This was indeed entertaining if nothing else. Where this leaves The Righteous? I have no idea.

Thoughts: Nic won as expected. It was a good match though. Nic worked KC's repaired knee and they told the story for KC going for the upset all the way through. It was athletic, it got enough time and it was interesting. I liked this one and KC showed up big his biggest match to date.

Overall thoughts: The opener didn't get a lot of time. Choo/Black was average. Elegance/BDE was a shorter one as well. The Righteous Deletion Match was entertaining and similar to other Deletion matches. It wasn't a traditional match or anything and had all kinds of wild stuff going on. Jada/Alisha wasn't bad. The main was good and the best thing on the show. I thought this was a little better than usual and we had 2 worthwhile matches here in the main and the Deletion Match. I'd give it a low 6 out of 10 as the highs were a lot higher than the lows here. This was okay overall.
