COMMENTS

The show, overall, was a pretty basic show. Most matches were good, others not so much. The only reason I gave the Ladder match a B grade was because I believe the winner was the wrong choice. Kelani Jordan winning over Sol Ruca or Jaida Parker, who both have a ton of momentum heading into this match was a poor choice. Nothing against Jordan, she's great, she needed to be built up a lot more. She hasn't had the momentum as Ruca or Parker have had in recent months. Ruca would have been the best choice to be the inaugural Women's NA Champion.

The Underground match was not fun or interesting in the slightest and I like both Baszler and Vice. It just didn't click with me. And judging by the comments all over social media, a lot of others didn't care for it either. Both main title matches were good. I am really getting behind Ethan Page as an on screen talent. He's already fantastic. Jordynne Grace is a phenomenal athlete and deserves all of this recognition she's been getting. I hope she comes over to WWE, which is what I'm expecting when her current TNA run is over. Looking forward to seeing where this WWE/TNA relationship goes. It's been a great idea so far.
