After the match, Umino and Kidd continue battling into the crowd.
Gabe Kidd is a great heel. His promo skills need more polishing, but his violent tendencies and "Mad Man" persona makes him look dangerous. Kidd makes a great number two to David Finlay as leader of the War Dogs. If Bullet Club ever needed a new leader, Gabe Kidd could be that man in the future.
