This a dog collar match. I love this feud. I really enjoyed Reed's stalling early. When JYD wrapped his fist with the chain and nailed Reed right in the rib cage. That looked pretty hurty. JYD transitions into choking Reed. I'm loving how personal this fight feels. In a great spot JYD goes for the headbutt, but Reed blocks it with the chain. This sets up the heat. Reed starts whipping JYD. They've paced the match in such a way that everything got over and meant something. We get more of that. JYD on his comeback is using big chain assisted soup bones. The tide is turning so the Anvil tries to help him out. Duggan comes out to stop him. Reed misses his top rope shoulder block. JYD scoops him up for the power slam. 3 1/2*

This was such a simple, but well worked match. The crowd made it so easy, as they played their respective roles perfectly and the fans couldn't wait for JYD to get the upper hand here. Even the pre match staredown meant something. I liked the simple segments of Reed using the chain to enhance a headlock, or JYD bruising Reed's belly before his headbutt. It all made sense, even the overbooked finish, which still led to a satisfying pinfall from Dog. Very fun spectacle, this was a blast for the whole 10 minutes
