Anthony Bowens & Max Caster vs. Blake Christian & Lee Johnson

[6.0] "I'm still a little cold on the Bowens-Caster reunion story but in the meantime this was a very fine platform for Blake Christian and Lee Johnson to showcase their skills."

[5.0] "Do not care a single bit about the Acclaimed drama. On the other hand, it's surprising how much Blake Christian evolved from being unwatchable to doing a very decent heel work. This pairing with Lee Johnson was great for both of them. Match was fine(might've gone too long) and they did the bit quite decent, the angle with Jerry Lynn was cool."

[5.0] "I thought it was fine. It definitely dragged somewhat, and the crowd work really wasn't great. Sort of uninspired, but I wouldn't call it bad. **1/2"

[3.0] "Lots of working the crowd for character moments, but when the characters actions makes everyone of them seem moronic I would say that the execution of it fails. Lots of screaming and big body gestures from Bowens that felt a little much given the circumstances (there was nothing at play). The Swirl can be inventive, but sometimes to their own detriment when they end up doing very contrived spots. Max caster's selling was whatever and it took up much of the time of the bout."

[5.0] "A somewhat trivial match, even though the story seems interesting. Nothing major for a midcard fight, but there's more to be done with these four. In-ring quality: 0.75/4. Stakes: 0.5/2. Justification: 1/1. Placement on the card: 1/1. Suspense: 0.75/1. Bonuses/penalties: none. Total: 5/10. Match seen on Triller TV."

[4.0] "This did nothing for me. Probably could've been half the length and achieved the same thing. The action was pretty average here and everyone put in a fairly mundane performance outside of Blake who added a bit of character to the match. This wasn't terrible but it did feel unnecessarily long for what it was trying to achieve. **"

[5.0] "This felt like more of an angle than a match and for that it was fine. As an 11-minute match, I don't remember much outside of the Acclaimed drama, but I thought the execution of the story worked."

[6.0] "A good tag team match, with some funny and interesting moments. It was an excellent way to continue the story of Bowens and Caster, with several moments of tension and disconnection. The match ended with the two working as a team, so I imagine we'll actually get a reunion of The Acclaimed, which is excellent news."

[7.0] "Max and Anthony are such a fun story to follow. Very competent wrestling here. The forced tags are great, the dysfunction is sold well."

[7.0] "Thought this one was really fun despite the amount of hi-jinks throughout it. Bowens and Caster have multiple moments of disagreement allowing for swirl to take over with flashy offense, ending with Bowens inadvertently helping Caster get the pin and leading to an ensuing argument on who really got the win. Nothing too crazy, but perfect for the story they're telling and some good fun"
