FINAL THOUGHTS: Like last week’s episode, the focus was purely on wrestling and in-ring competition. The show continues to be a more enjoyable watch, despite the odd circumstances of the empty arena. Get rid of the terrible attempts at comedy. Let the wrestlers tell their stories in the ring. The show would improve so much if it continued to focus on wrestling.
