Rating: This was a letdown immediately from the unveiling of No Way (Jose) as Fallah Bahh's surprise partner. Compared to the other surprises throughout the evening, this was simply far too underwhelming a moment, regardless of if your writer popped for John E. Bravo and Johnny Swinger being in his conga line.

The match suffered a huge hit from its pacing. Wrestling at too slow a speed for a match involving the likes of Rich Swann, the only actual highlights included an elevated Flatliner a la the late Chris Kanyon from No Way, and a sweet Samoan drop from Willie Mack to the larger Bahh.

A dull ending saw 'The War Machine' somehow distracted by his own teammates at ringside, that resulted in Karl Anderson laying him out with a Gun Stun. A Magic Killer ruled Anderson and Doc Gallows the new tag champions.

IMPACT's doubles division took a severe hit when the Lucha Bros and LAX departed for AEW, and another when the North disbanded. This match proved that. Crowning the Good Brothers as champions felt more like a way to have the Super Elite draped in gold, rather than boosting the other teams in the bout. 2/10
