Match Thoughts
Very good match. As with a lot of gauntlet matches, the first half was maybe better than the second half. TJP and Mustafa Ali had a great segment, as did Ali and Gulak. Gulak looked great in the match too. I liked how Tony Nese’s vendetta cost him. Everyone had something that made them stand out in this, except maybe for Kalisto.
Show Impressions
I liked this as a change of pace. It was similar to the recent gauntlet match on RAW in that it changed the format of the show. I really enjoy things like that.
Match of the Night
Gauntlet Match
That’s obvious, so I’ll say my favorite match-up within the gauntlet was TJP vs Mustafa Al. I’d like to see that develop into a full feud soon.
