7.1

The final score: review Good

The 411

I would've liked the promo by Santana on this show to be on last week's show instead. Last week's show lacked the purpose and urgency that it needed to have not just coming out of their biggest PPV in history but also after NXT's Trick Williams retained the title. I would've also preferred Ash by Elegance being on the same page as Masha Slamovich in getting the title off of Jacy Jayne first. Her interfering in Masha's match made no sense if she apparently had no problem in facing her the next week, as the winner of Jacy Jayne vs. Ash by Elegance will have to do. I'm glad that being the champion doesn't protect Trick against taking the pin, which means Moose will get a shot at the TNA World Championship.
