[DreamBroken]

Good show. Aldis/King was a solid main card opener. Nice seeing Jake Crist back again and aligned with Sami made sense. Another strong showing from Trinity. Subculture is a great addition, especially complete with Dani Luna, I hope they stick around. Super fun tag title match with some wild dives and spots. Looked like Bey took himself out almost on the double poison rana. Trey/Sabin was pretty great, glad to see it looks like they'll continue.

Six way was fun, nice victory for Shelley and he'll deliver another great title match. Liked the spot where Moose broke up the tower of doom and pulled it all apart. Deonna/Jordynne with another epic, I love their rivalry and Deonna just being Jordynne's kryptonite. They went pretty fast paced and the finish was killer. 

Main event was absolutely nuts. So much blood everywhere, on the wrestlers, the ring mat, the floor mats. Wild brawl. Really great first big defense for Maclin. The visual of him standing tall in victory with face completely covered in blood was epic. Dug all the post-match chaos continuing as well.  Lots of good stuff throughout the show.

I thought Trinity looked very strong against Giselle. Usually not a fan of Trinity staying on the offense so much, but she found a good way to adapt to the change by evolving her arsenal. Was not expecting that torture rack back breaker. 

Deonna vs Jordynne was a blast. I agree that finish was killer. Jordynne's contract is up and she's taking time away from Impact, so she had to give us one for the road.
