Winners: The Kingdom

Rating: ***. Entertaining scramble here! Kingdom winning is the right move but all teams got to shine. The Workhorsemen could benefit from a program with someone, but for an all-action main event, this was good stuff.

Final Thoughts: Welp, when the matches were legitimate matches, they were good. Unfortunately, half of them were elongated (in some cases, not even) squashes. The main event was fun but nothing else that you need to go out of your way to see. 6/10.
