Miracle is looking right at Sunday. This is the moment. 2 v 2. Miracle Generation vs Violence is forever for the IWTV championships. 

Danny Miles and BRG rush the ring. are they cashing in the contract?!? No! Miracle Generation fights back, runs them off and the champs stand tall as we close the night out! It’s wild when you have a show that is both a stand-alone culmination of a lot of different feuds plus a go-home show for a weekend supershow. This succeeded on both counts.
