The action here was fine, with Silver, Reynolds, and Cabana all working hard against overmatched opposition, though there was little reason to check this out unless you are absolutely hooked on the Dark Order/Colt storyline.

The wrestlers leaned on this throughout. Cabana got frustrated with Silver and Reynolds for cheating, while Silver and Reynolds got frustrated with Colt for not cheating. Colt's absorption into the Order - which is really starting to drag now - continues with him enjoying the wins but not necessarily the means through which they are attained.

Simple, straightforward stuff, but not particularly attention-grabbing. Reynolds scored the pin on D3.
