MATCH THOUGHTS: What an awesome match to end the show tonight. This is the good work you’d probably expect from these two. This is probably the best match that’s been on Main Event for awhile. You should check this one out, if nothing else.

FINAL THOUGHTS: The matches got time tonight, which was good. The opening tag was alright, but probably could have trimmed some time. The Cameron and Brie match was far better than it had any right to be. Seth Rollins and Big E was what you would expect. The match was good and it was nice to see Big E in an extended match for once. This was a great edition of Main Event tonight. Thanks to any who read the recap.
