The pace stayed very high for most of the match. It got a little frantic at times, but not in a bad way.

This match felt a little like Shadow of the Colossus. Jax wasn&#8217;t terribly mobile, but she did show her power a few times. Asuka attacked from every angle, going for holds, strikes, and submissions until she realistically wore Jax down. It did feel a little like Jax took Asuka too lightly, but that fits with her personality.

Both guys took a lot of punishment. Joe seemed to dominate early, but as Balor became more comfortable in the cage he began to mount more of an offense.
