TNA hit the jackpot with the booking of this match. Gail Kim fought extremely hard over and over again. Havok looked great and the booking of Gail Kim made complete sense. She came so close so many times and used her speed to get some offense in. It looked believeable at times that a championship change could happen. They gave the Knockouts plenty of time and none of it was wasted. This was a great spotlight on what TNA does right.

I was surprised at how short this match was. It was only given about eight minutes of time and should have been at least doubled. Like I have mentioned in the past, MVP still has not “WOWed” me in the company. He has not had a huge standout match, but this was one of his better. I would have rather seen Roode control the offense more since he just beat a beast like Lashley. Anyways, who is next for Bobby Roode?
