Drake Maverick & Killian Dain vs. Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel

[6.0] "A surprisingly good tag team match . I expected this to be a squash or for Dain to finally turn on Maverick. Instead we got more depth of story in the form of Wolfe refusing to connect with the chair shot on Dain . The story here was the doubts of Maverick that Dain would betray him for Imperium and Imperium tried to make him believe that through mind games . An example is when Maverick was crawling for a tag , Barthel pushed Dain off of the apron making Maverick to believe that he had been betrayed . Imperium worked on isolating Maverick from Dain and worked on beating the hell out of the weak link . When Dain got the hot tag he unleashed havoc on his opponents . Match ended after some outside drama with Imperium walking out victorious . ***1/4"

[6.0] "An OK tag team match with lots of action. Not the highest quality, but it was rather a satisfying spectacle."

[6.0] "This was a cool tag match here between two good teams, it was pretty short but they had time to do a lot of things, and only good things. The action is obviously very solid just like every Aichner & Barthel's matches, their heel-work was great and not at all boring to watch. Maverick did a fantastic babyface performance as usual, he still has his fighting spirit which makes him very good in this role of the isolated babyface in his tag team matches. His selling throughout the Imperium attack was good to lead to the hot-tag. Dain had a big showing too, he was very protected and from the little he did he was really fun. I really liked the moment of doubt when Wolfe hesitated to put a chair shot to Dain and then finally didn't, this story has been well written for a few weeks and I can't wait to see what happens next. Anyway, as for this tag match, it was just so much fun."

[7.0] "Enjoyed this more than I expected large in part to Maverick's performance. I forgot just how good of an underdog he can play. He and Marcel worked very well together and actually wouldn't mind a singles between the two of them after seeing their interaction. There were a lot of layers to this match which I appreciated. Imperium continue to work hard even though they come across a bit secondary without WALTER around."

[7.0] "This match got me hooked and had a very good story to it. Drake being paranoid about Dain possibly turning, while Dain had his back the whole time was really nice. Wolfe not attacking his former stablemate when ne had the chance was a great touch."

[7.0] "It's a funny match in a way, nice interactions between all of the wrestler involved. Maverick is great in his role."

[7.0] "With less than 10 minutes, they did what is for me the best match of the show. Awesome underdog work by Drake Maverick who invested me a lot in his face off against Marcel Barthel, and great storytelling with Killian Dain and Alexander Wolfe who was ringside. ***1/2"

[7.0] "The second comedy match of the night, and while that may be overkill to some people, I enjoyed it again. This wasn't completely played for laughs, Imperium were still serious and treated as threats, but the story of Maverick not trusting Dain was amusing. It's very easy to play that off as humor and silliness, but I really liked that it made sense for Drake to be suspicious. The action itself was solid that got to highlight each of the competitor's strengths, though the (good) character work did harm the wrestling flow at some points. While the ending was a little sour due to the amount of interference that happened within the show, it was done in a way that really made me intrigued by what's next."

[6.0] "Good story telling with a paronoiac Drake Maverick costing him the win. Everyone looks pretty good going out of the match and it continue building the feud wish is really good for those midcardes since the start."

[6.0] "Finally a clean finish, although there was subplot here too as Alexander Wolfe would not attack his former SAnitY partner Killian Dain, causing a minor tiff within Imperium. They got on with it though and soundly defeated Drake Maverick, which counts as great for this episode."
