It was practically an exhibition for Jordan and Gable. They&#8217;re very good, and they know it. It was a clinic until Blake &amp; Murphy used some cheap (and obvious) heel tactics to take advantage: a fake injury, cheap shots, and outside interference. Even when they took over though, it only felt like a matter of time before Jordan and Gable would take control back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em> <\/span><br \/>\nAlex Reyes asks Emma about facing Carmella next week.

There were nice segments with all possible combinations of the competitors. There were some close calls and tense moments. The ending left things open-ended, but that can make for some interesting developments and is a good way to get people to want to tune in.

The first and last matches were good, but the ones in the middle felt like filler. The middle three matches consisted of some build-up matches and a return match, none of which were particularly exciting or noteworthy. I liked the ending of the show though and am looking forward to where it leads.
