The match had everything from high-flying to technical to submission wrestling and showcased every aspect of the X-Division.
Matt Sydal and Eddie Edwards both have similar styles which makes this an interesting match. Edwards is on the opposite side of the speed edge in this match and he changed his styles accordingly.
