The Good Brothers vs. Rich Swann and Willie Mack had this important aura to it because of how well the story had been crafted in the build towards Victory Road. It's crucial that IMPACT maintains this for future IMPACT Plus specials, as it automatically give the monthly specials that sort of pay-per-view feel to them that, sometimes, they're lacking in.
It was a wonderous tag team match that worked on many levels. The match changed gears from when Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson were in control compared to when Swann and Mack were; for example, the Good Brothers kept their opponents constrained to their corner when they had the advantage, while Rich and Willie relied on some basic tag team offence. It helped the match flow properly, as it prevented any repeat spots.
A Magic Killer to Willie Mack ensured another successful defence for Gallows and Anderson, but the closing stages really made this match great. One such spot saw Swann hit a handspring Cutter on Anderson, who then instantaneously bounced back to his feet to execute the Gun Stun. Though it's the sort of spot that may warrant the hE dIdN't SeLl trolls on social media, it worked well for the sort of match it was in.
