Kudos to WWE for working out a through-line story since the show's start with five performers that probably have a ceiling lower than the historic venue that hosted this pay off.
Human highlight reel Mark Andrews deserves marginally more than the remainder of these rushed-to-television transition types, but Entertainment is as important as Sports in a WWE production, and the company have at least put blind faith in these guys to provide some of one even if they can't proffer much of the other.
This "main event" was hung out to dry by the terrific topliner from Hour One. The narrative tiptoed a little too close to 'six dorks have a ding-dong' compared to the minor television classic assembled between Pete Dunne and Danny Burch.
Separate the two, and this passable p*ss-about carries a sliver more stroke. But they didn't. So it didn't.
