Result: Xavier nails a killer top-rope elbow drop on Jimmy to win the titles (13:50).

Rating: This was a really, really good match and basically a revelation for the disappointing or even terrible nature of almost everything else on the show. There was a great sense of desperation throughout and the crowd were super into it, which always helps.

Either team could've won satisfactorily, but it was great to see Xavier get such a strong showing, with a crowd-pleasing final spot to get the tag straps back on The New Day.

The Superkick and Midnight Hour spots were absolutely brutal and the pacing was top-notch throughout. It's just a shame the PPV peaked in its first match and almost everything else looked like pure toss compared to it. 8/10
