City: Kissimmee, Florida

Venue: Osceola Heritage Park Events Center

TV station/network: YouTube.com

Commentary by: Joe Dombrowski & Tom Lawlor

Overall Show Score: 7/10

Pros: Kushida wins the World Middleweight Championship. I glad they doing a different angle involving Contra Unit. Doc Gallows successfully wrestling as himself and as festus & Karrion Kross going as No.1 to win Battle Riot and looked out as World Heavyweight Champion.

Cons: I wasn’t a fan of Kushida joining Contra Unit. Not a lot of matches. & A lack of reactions to certain eliminations.
