Up next was Robbie X and Adam Maxted vs Lucas Steele and Jake McCluskey. The crowd were a little down following the abrupt finish of the opener and their expectations were fairly low for this match devoid of any Impact talent. But it has to be said that all four men were brilliant and did a great job of getting the audience going again, particularly Robbie X who is is a much better high-flyer than he looks.

The match started with the two bigger guys, Maxted and Steele trading clubbing blows and trying to knock each other down, Maxted hit a nice flying Shoulder Tackle on Steele who tagged McCluskey in, Maxted following suit tagging Robbie X in.

This is when things really pick up pace with McCluskey and Robbie X speeding things up significantly, and Robbie X doing flips all over the place. McCluskey was no slouch in the aerial department either and both guys got the crowd popping!

Some big moments include a huge Maxted assisted dive to the outside from Robbie X and a recreation of the Adam Cole/Ricochet Superkick/Moonsault spot from NXT TakeOver. The frenetic finish from Robbie X was also great.

Grade: 3/5
