⭐️Kayhan: “I’m on the fence about letting Oba Femi into the match so late and so deep in the match. Not very fair. But what saved this for me was the fallout with the losers, Ethan Page especially, and Nathan Frazer killed it later in the night selling his Iron Survivor injuries in the tag title match.”
