The quality of the attached contests were really high, and entertaining, as they presented various techniques and style of performances to the audience which made the crowd on fire.

Highlights

One of the best contests are the contest between Chris Sabin and Steve Maclin. This match introduced the principles of highly-scripted, and beautifully- performed fight.

Also, the performance introduced by Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie was more powerful and balanced more than their previous contest in Rebellion.

Furthermore, Impact Wrestling proved again that X Division contests are the best ones dedicated to the world of med-card and upper med-card titles as still the matches for the titles gave the audience best performances ever, and the lately crowned X Division title Ace Austin delivered a strong evidence for deserving carrying the title.

The event also witnessed a historical moment by crowning the Briscoes as the new Impact World Tag Team titles. The North Carolinas are still asserting that they are among the best Tag Team warriors in the industry, therefore, Impact Wrestling fans are really ambitious for the Briscoes rule as Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Champions. The contest highly proved how tag team matches should seem like.

Finally, the main event was an epic fight between two of the best competitors in the industry right now, although the match was somehow long, but it was full of several catchy and strong episodes between Ishii and Alexander.
