Thoughts: Bad loss for Rusev here as Lee is pretty low on the totem pole and shouldn't have won here. It was a shorter bout and they didn't have much time to do anything but their signature moves for the most part.

Overall thoughts: There were only 2 new matches here. Both where shorter and this seemed like an episode that they didn't have a lot of time for. Both were matches were acceptable enough but totally forgettable. I wouldn't recommend this at all and I thought it was basically just filler. You can finish this one in 20 minutes though.
