The show surpassed my expectations this week and was very good. Sorensen looked better than I expected and had a fun match with Ciampa. Homicide and Kingston had a really fun tag match with Adrenaline Rush and really came into their own as a team for the first time since coming back. I’ve enjoyed London’s work so far this year but this was the best I’ve seen him as his move-set was awesome and he worked well underneath. The tombstone on the floor was a little risky but the double stomp out of the gutbuster is one of my favorite moves I’ve seen this year and there was a lot of other great work in the match. Strong was good in the match as well and Corino’s commentary was a lot of fun on this show.
