TJP is a good opponent for Carrillo. TJP shut down a lot of Carrillo&#8217;s moves with some nice technical counters, and that forced Carrillo to come up with other types of offense than we&#8217;re used to seeing him do. Carrillo still went to the air a lot, but he was also grounded quite a bit by TJP. I really do think TJP should have won though. TJP seemed to be in control the entire match, even when Carrillo was getting some offense. Plus, Carrillo&#8217;s Arabian press finisher looks neat, but it doesn&#8217;t look very impactful. I think he should have done something else to finish off someone like TJP.<\/p>\n<p>TJP seemed unusually happy in this match. He didn&#8217;t seem to have any cares or worries, and that&#8217;s probably because it was announced a couple days after this match that WWE had come to terms with TJP over his release. Maybe TJP knew he was being set free, so he was just trying to make the best of his last match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrew Gulak and Jack Gallagher enter the ring after the match. They congratulate Carrillo on his win and put Carrillo up on their shoulders. Carrillo seems confused at first, but he does smile.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTony Nese says that whatever mental block has been holding him back on 205 Live was smashed when he beat up Noam Dar.

This was more of a war than I expected it to be. Kanellis clearly wants to get a win, and Alexander clearly wants to get back to the top of the division. Both men needed this win, and they fought hard. Kanellis had some good counters to keep Alexander off balance warly in the match, and a slip off the top rope for Alexander gave Kanellis an opening to dominate a good part of the match. Alexander&#8217;s fighting spirit can never be discounted though, and that pushed ALexander to keep going even when it looked like Kanellis was closing in on a win.
