Your winner, Crimson!
Not a great match but I thought both worked really hard given their limitations as performers. The finish totally killed it. I thought they had a chance for Crimson to really cross the line as a heel and wipe out Morgan when he was trapped but he instead just went the other way. That was a missed opportunity and instead we got an extremely lame finish.
