The first third had the IC and US title matches. Maybe those matches overperformed, but there is no chance that the first third was great.
Was the US title match before the Rousey tag? I thought that came after (edit: you’re right, it was the tag titles after the Rousey match).
I actually thought the IC title match was perfectly fine for a match type that’s pretty rubbish, and if nothing else the crowd was way into it.
