Overall, this episode of Impact Wrestling was good to watch. Some positive things that happened during this show was the No DQ main event with Brian Myers and W. Morrissey. The match itself was pretty good and fun to watch between Brian and Morrissey. The ending of the match made sense since Morrissey was able to get the victory and gain some momentum. This was also a good build up for Morrissey title match with Moose at No Surrender. Another good thing that happened during the show was the non championship match between Chelsea Green and Mickie James. This was a good way to keep the Tasha and Mickie storyline progressing. Not only that, but this helps Chelsea and Mickie to continue their storyline and maybe a future rivialy later down the road. Lastly the build up between Team Honor No More and Team Impact has had a pretty solid build up and it has continued to progress ahead of their tag match at No Surrender. There weren’t really any negative things in this episode of Impact, because we got to see the continuation of several storylines, good matches, and much more!
