- Tag Team (PJ Black & Brian Johnson vs. the Briscoes): 5/7. It was fine. I like the Briscoes.
- Singles (Flip Gordon vs. EC3): 4/7. Slow.
- Six-Man Championship (Dak Draper, Dalton Castle & Eli Isom vs. Shane Taylor Promotions): 6/7. Not really sure what's going on story-wise, here, but I think that's intentional. Dalton Castle sabotaging his own team for reasons that are not yet evident. Lot of cool wrestling though.
- Last One Standing (Josh Woods vs. Silas Young): 4/7. Last One Standing matches can be really cool, but usually they're just long and slow.
- Singles (Jay Lethal vs. Brody King): 6/7. This is the one that should have been a Last One Standing match.
- Pure Championship (Mike Bennett vs. Jonathan Gresham): 6/7. Pure Rules is really cool. You can have a slow match that's still really engaging and builds intensity as it goes.
- Television Championship (Dragon Lee vs. Tony Deppen): 5/7. Possibly should have been rated higher but felt like a step down after the last one.
- Tag Team Championship Fight Without Honor (Violence Unlimited vs. The Foundation): 6/7. "Give up or I'll stab you with this fork" is a novel way to take advantage of a No-DQ match.
- World Championship (Rush vs. Bandido): 7/7. Extremely impressive.
Overall rating: 5/7. Some of it was very good, but it was very long. It didn't need to be so long.
