This is for the North American Title. I enjoyed this, but not as much as the bounty match. Though they had a lot of themes playing off the previous match. I'll get to those in a bit. First off it was fun to see Reed revert to some of his heel tactics by using his body to shield the ref. Tommy Gilbert's looks really made it work. Matt and I were talking about how great Reed was at getting the crowd with him through his energy. Some of the call backs was Slater going back to work on Reed's neck which was his game plan last week. Another call back spot was Reed using the Figure 4 which is a revenge spots of sorts. Their was some neat small stuff in this too. Like when Slater was using the ropes to increase pressure on his headlock the ref sees the ropes move. So Dark Journey moves up and grabs the ropes causing the ref to think it was her. So that was nice on 2 fronts. The finish was set up to build a rematch so it was what it was.

3 1/4*
