Archer helps Fenix up after the match. They fist bump to show respect as the show goes off the air.
Overall Review: This was a better show than last week. I enjoyed it a lot more but still had some moments that weren’t the brightest. The opening match with Jon Moxley was what it was but what the promo he delivered afterwards is the type that Moxley is great at doing as he described the pain he will most likely experience in the Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. The match with Team Taz and the Varisty Blondes was good but their match time could’ve been cut short a bit and I don’t think the Blondes should’ve had that much offense especially if they’re trying to make them a legit threat to Sting and Darby Allin. I did love the segment afterwards with Darby and Sting taking them out. Darby zip lining to the ring was a great visual but it did take a little too long for him to get to the ring from the zip line. That sit down interview with Miro and Kip Sabian I wasn’t too big on. Miro wanting Chuck Taylor back was kind of dumb especially with how Chuck ruined Kip’s wedding. Why would they want him back? I didn’t get that and I don’t know why they are continuing the whole Best Friends rivalry but if the match at Revolution is the blow off match then I’m okay with that. I didn’t really care for the Hager and Cutler match, it was what it was. I thought it was funny afterwards with how Jericho and MJF attacked The Young Bucks’ father and the way their father sold the beat down. The blood on the dad’s face looked kind of amateurish honestly but the dad did sell it very well, I’ll give him that. The match with Adam Page and Isiah Cassidy was really solid. Afterwards with Matt Hardy attacking Alan Angels was cool too although he could’ve just done without the talking before and just come out to throw Alan off the stage. The Kenny Omega segment was okay but it was so hard to hear at times because of the construction noise that was drowning out his voice. I had to rewind that a few times because it was hard to hear. The Women’s Eliminator Match with Nyla defeating Britt Baker I was not a fan of that decision. The match itself was really good, probably the best match on the show for me but Britt should’ve won. It should’ve been her time to win the tournament to challenge Shida for the belt at Revolution but they chose Nyla who hasn’t been on TV in like a while and Britt has been killing it on TV with her in ring ability and promo work. I thought that was a dumb move. Lance Archer and Fenix had a really nice match with Lance dominating most of the match which he should do. Lance winning was great and I think more than likely he is winning the Ladder Match at Revolution.
Grade: 6/10
