Ash/Xia was short but fun, as was Leon/Angels.  

Jake Something turning heel felt strange timing wise as he's felt on the verge of being a breakout babyface a couple times but they never went all the way and then turn him instead. On the other hand, I'll definitely get behind the babyface Steve Maclin run, assuming this time it lasts. Good match with Kazarian.

Main event was a blast, very unique match with a lot of unusual pairings throughout.
