Best pre-show thus far, and overall a better showing than Fyter Fest. Some stories starting to build which is good but some things seemed off I thought the Dark Order chose The Best Friends as their first opponent, but now are in a triple threat without the best friends? Kenny kicks out a lot, which is not new but I’d like to see finishers protected a bit more, Kazarian lost to cima after what one Metora, and Kenny are what 5 or 6 and kicked out every time. Also matches seemed too predictable, which was good on the pre-show I didn’t know who would go over but the main show it was obvious to me who would win the Triple threat, the Kenny match, the Lucha Bros match, and the Main Event. I think that goes back to them needing their regular program to some extent, when you don’t have many appearances you don’t want Kenny being 0-2, The Lucha Bros being 0-3, or the Dark Order losing their first match after being built up.

I really hope the Bucks lose in the tag tournament, I want to see some other talent who need the belts in that spot. I would have been fine with them losing tonight but why out over Cody and Dustin, who presumably won’t be tagging going forward.

Apologies for all the NFL fans who flood your mentions today. When Cody said West Coast offense it Was an NFL reference to a more uptempo playing style
