Overall Show Score: 7/10

Pros: The presence of the late Dusty Rhodes was felt throughout at last night’s event. I enjoyed that 8-person tag match on the pre-show. I liked seeing a lot of new faces getting a chance and my favourite match was highlighted by both Carmelo Hayes & Ilja Dragunov.                                                                                                                                                                                      

Cons: I didn’t like Baron Corbin, Gable Steveson match that much. My lack of enjoyment of these matches were affected by how much time they were able to have and I can’t believe Gallus lost their Tag Team Championships last night.
