Raven to the HOF ruled, love the bit with Dreamer. Brian Myers has turned this Digital Media Title reign in to pretty fun run. 

Kazarian/Speedball was pretty awesome as expected, but definitely did not expect that finish! Partly sad to see Speedball's reign ends as he was having one of my favorite X reigns even though it didn't feel very long but also happy for Kazarian as one of my all time favorite X Champs to have another run with the title after all these years. 

Mickie/Mia was great. This Last Rodeo gonna end up being one of Mickie's career best runs.

Knockouts tag was kinda disappointing, feel like VXT just won the titles and barely got to defend before the reign's already over. Had high hopes for their tag run on top. 

MCMG/Honor No More was very good. Lots of great double teams even though the finish was a bit of a cluster.

Call Your Shot was an absolute blast and the outcome was a real shocker. By the end I thought there's no way Maclin isn't winning, this was his year and seemed to be his match to win. So I was a little sad for him that it ended up not happening. An interesting, unexpected twist for sure. I dig the unpredictability of it all. Good to see Taylor Wilde back in there, she looked great.

Knockouts title match was amazing but fuuuuuuuuuck that result. Masha looked incredible here, loved the gear and look with Bull Nakano homage. I hate that she didn't win the title here after all the build. I knew it was likely after the ending of Impact but still very disappointing even if the match was properly epic. Nice extra special finisher at least.

Main event holy shit what a war. Truly epic battle that was excellent. The knee towards the end was sick, blooded up Josh big time. Looking forward to the followup. Overall a mostly very good show despite my disappointment with several of the results.

I just watched that (RANSOMWARE AHOY!) and MAAAAAN!  That match fucking rules.  That was a fucking great finish.

I sought this show out for Josh Alexander v Eddie Edwards – which did not disappoint, but man, the Jordynne Grace v Masha Slamovich bout seems to be thus far totally overlooked by the MOTYC seekers. I suspect a bidding war for Slamovich in the near future. Grace really oughta see what kind of money she can get too. I also really enjoyed the Kingdom v Guns and Kazarian v Bailey. I don’t quite get that booking on the title switch. Is Bailey’s contract up? If yes or when, I wonder where he lands. And, uh, I guess it might be interesting to see if Alexander is good enough to carry Bubba Dudley to a good match. Tho, I'm not so sure I’ll seek that one out.
