This goes down as one of my favorite matches this month. Everyone in it looks like a star. Ricochet and Velveteen Dream work very well together, this should up our anticipation of their TakeOver: Chicago II match even more.

Double team moves were delivered with perfect symmetry, and just as they were on the verge of winning, Velveteen Dream struck his partner, bailing from the match.

Lars Sullivan on his part looked like a nearly impervious tank, blasting his way through his competition even when they were on the top of their game, taking repeat double team moves to even get knocked down.

He looks like the biggest threat Aleister Black has ever faced heading into their title match next month.

Meanwhile, Velveteen Dream and Ricochet renewed their rivalry, and their showdown is the early favorite for best match of Money in the Bank weekend.
