Overall Show Score: 6/10
Pros: Konosuke defeating Omega was a huge win for his career. I like the planning to setup a MJF/Samoa Joe program for the future. Seeing Miro’s real wife CJ Perry was surprising but made me wonder why she was there ?. Bryan Danielson came back and wrestled. I’m glad to have Jon Moxley win another championship.
Cons: Most of these matches were put together in 1 week and they felt rushed, and there were far too many matches. Darby didn’t win the TNT Title back. My least favourite match was the trios championship match.
