Rating: **1/2. Short and sweet, and it didn’t need to be more. Chuck got a lot of offense in but when Claudio thinks he can win the match, he finishes it.

Final Thoughts: Lots of good action on this week’s show, and a lot of it has to do with the Forbidden Door. Workhorsemen/Lucha Squad was great stuff, Embassy/LIJ, UE as well. However, we’ve got a PPV coming up this month, and champions Athena, Samoa Joe, The Lucha Bros, and Claudio don’t have storylines… and that’s troublesome. 7/10.
