An alright show here, some decent matches that were unfortunately short, but you do see a lot of ground work being laid for January 8th in Dallas with Mickie/Deonna, Maclin/Trey, the announcement of the first ever Knockouts Ultimate X and a nice debut for the artist formerly known as Bronson Reed setting him up to feud with Josh Alexander. Also a fun brawl with Moose/Eddie to close the show.
