3. Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela vs. The Hybrid 2

Dark's main event was essentially a series of fun, exciting spots that weren't always stitched together well, leaving a few pedestrian moments between them. This prevents us from slapping a particularly strong recommendation on it, though fun, exciting spots were more than welcome on a show like this, where genuine adrenaline sparks were few and far between.

It was interesting to see Jack Evans and Angelico pick up the win here as one would usually expect them to fall to the younger tandem. Nonetheless, it was earned. Janela was neutralised by the end, preventing him from intervening as Evans wrapped Kiss up, scoring the pinfall.
