**1/2

This match was okay but felt a bit long during Morrisey’s beatdown. Mack looked great as the babyface but took another loss here. Swann’s return was unexpected and a feud with Morrisey could be interesting for both.

WINNERS: FIRE n’ FLAVA
***1/4

That match was good with Fire n’ Flava looking good as the heels on top and Grace and Ellering coming back with some fire. The story here is that Grace is the weak link and her losing further advances that. The move was shocking but I’m happy to see it as Fire n’ Flava are money. Good stuff here and one of the better matches in this title’s return.

Definately a solid match but not much heat to this one. Deonna is always a pleasure to watch and the story was told well here.

***3/4

Maybe I’m just a sucker for Eddie Edwards, but I really enjoyed that match. Seeing him against Omega in brief instances was a thrill and these guys worked hard from the start. Main event style tag match with some great drama and effort. Big win for Eddie also, so I’m curious to see where they go with it.

WINNER: MOOSE
***3/4

This is an interesting development. I’m not sure when this title shot is occurring but hopefully it’s Slammiversary because this would be a huge match. I’m not sure where Callihan fits into this. They do have Against All Odds where he could have a mini feud but it feels bigger than that. Anyway the match was fun as you’d expect with constant action and charisma displayed. Fun main event on par with the preceding match quality.
