Overall Show Score: 5/10
Pros: I’m glad the two main events delivered on their promise. Kris Statlander came back to win the TBS Championship on her first match back. FTR kept their World Tag Team Titles intact. Good seeing Sabu again for a short period & my favourite match was the 4-way match involving MJF, Darby Allin, Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara.
Cons: No crowd response did hurt the enjoyment of the night. The handful of the matches were either bad or disappointing. There was so much carnage that didn’t need to happen. Jeff Hardy’s performs was sad to watch and this event wasn’t that great.
