Two more shows until Bound for Glory. Can they but the finishing touches on the card?
Rich Swann Vs. Matt Sydal
The match starts with a show of respect between the 2 with a hand shake. It quickly escalate into a quick and exciting match but Sydal uses his third eye to get the upper hand by crawling under the ring and sneak attacking Swann. Sydal takes control and tries hitting his big moves. Swann sets up Sydal on the top rope he goes for a hurricanrana but Sydal counters it in to a power bomb. Swann kicks out. Swann fights back knocks Sydal down sets up on the top rope goes for the finisher but a mystery man comes out of nowhere and power bombs Swann into the ring while Sydal distracts the ref. Sydal steals the win with the help of the mystery man we never see his face until he is revealed. Matt Sydal has alined himself with Ethan Page.
Dave Crist is paranoid about pentagon having "magical powers". Callahan calls out the Lucha brothers for later tonight.
Eddie Edwards gets a phone call from Alisha. It's not Alisha, it's actually Moose who does the ringing. Eddie is furious but Moose says she's fine she's right here. He tells him to meet him at the pub that closed down in 2014. (something tells me this is a trap)
Scarlet bordeaux joins the announce team for her talent search and both Josh and Don are stuttering over there words. Scarlet calls don a 10 and Josh a 5. (couldn't agree more)

Eli Drake’s Open Challenge
Eli Drake says something in Mexican that I don't understand apart from toto sí means dummy I'm guessing. The eli Drake open challenge is answered by La Parka. He also says stuff in Mexican. La Parka wins by count out after Eli Drake realised he ain't getting the better of a Lucha legend.

Joe Hendry Vs. Murder Clown
Hendry plays another music video for katarina and murder clown. The match is fairly short. Hendry is out powered he eventually fights back and hits the fall away Slam. Murder clown wins when he uses the splash from the top rope. After the match, Hendry is put through a table before Katarina low blows Grado.
Eddie finds moose a heated confrontation. Alisha throws water in to Moose's face. Killer Kross jumps Eddie. Eddie fights off the escape Eddie rings Johnny Impact to tell him Aries is on his own.
Johnny Impact searches the backstage for Aries he can't find him he goes to the ring and calls him out. Aries comes out limping and his arm is in a sling. (Turns out it was a trap) A fantastic promo between Aries and Impact I wasn't sure about the match the build didn't really grab me but this promo has got me excited for the bound for glory main event.
Brian Cage says he's" going to decimate EVERYONE but first the Crist brothers then I'm coming for Callahan."
Desi hit squad backstage " that was our moment now we have to climb the ladder again"
Gama Singh comes in and hits them both with a mop. And says next week we're going to see who the weak link is as your facing each other in a singles match.
Lucha brothers quick promo backstage where they says that "we are going to destroy you" obviously talking about ove.

Su Yung Vs. Keira Hogan
This was a really good match. Kiera is improving every week. Su went for a panic switch but Kiera countered into a sit out power bomb. Goes up to the top rope an undead bridesmaid distracts Kiera. Allie takes out the undead bridesmaid. Su Yung wins with a panic switch off the distraction. After the match Su attacks Allie and Kiera. She tries to put Allie into the coffin just as Allie is about to be put in the coffin Kiera Hogan throws Allie out of the danger zone put pays the ultimate price because Su Yung puts the mandible claw and then kiera is put into the coffin.
We see Allie backstage freaking out that another of her friends have been put in the coffin. But she says "I know what I have to do now."
Callahan tells the crowd to shut up and says were not waiting for bound for glory lets do it now. Cage takes out the Crist brothers immediately then all 3 start doing some great tag team combos on Callahan but he kicks out. The match goes a few minutes more but Callahan pushes the ref over and gets ove dq. That was apparently his plan all along then all 6 men fight two really cool dives which takes out everyone Cage and Fenix. Fenix somehow was balancing on the ropes and the guardrail that man defies gravity and physics.
Overall, a good episode where more matches are set up for Bound for glory which is less than 10 days now. I was a bit unsure of how the Swann and Sydal match was going to lead to another match at bound for glory. The question is now who is Swann’s partner? Hopefully Chris Jericho. Eli Drake at the moment isn’t on the card with one show to go that worries me hopefully he announces an open challenge for bound for glory and it is answered by Chris jericho or maybe even PAC?
