Nice show overall but Axiom shouldn't have kicked out of the Powerbomb, same thing for Angelo after eating both of DIY's finishers.

my only problem with gunther right now is they have had a few of these midcarders seem like they might upset gunther lately. he needs to still be dominant so when jey beats him at mania it seems like a big deal. now it just seems like jey will be the one that gets lucky enough to catch him slipping.

I think they had to make Axiom look a big deal in his own country but maybe against somebody else.

Was a good match though.

Yeah they had Axiom look strong because he was the homeboy but Gunther should have destroyed someone like Tozawa in three minutes.
