Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script, where underdogs rise to the top and favorites fall short.
Alexander’s late push paid off, and he shocked the fans in Sacramento. Slater’s slow start and inability to pin Alexander twice doomed him.
Aichner’s sudden appearance added fuel to the fire, and the crowd was left wondering what’s next for the X Division Championship.
Young’s battle royal win and subsequent declaration of targets only added to the chaos, as the TNA World Championship picture became murkier.
This one felt recognizable early, as the usual suspects emerged to challenge for the top titles.
