What a match that was, two of the biggest groups in FRONTIER, some of the most hard hitting competitors you’ll see in a FRONTIER ring, just put on a fantastic match. And credit to Evangelista and Drake, both of whom had some injuries coming into this match. They were in no way 100% but they didn’t let that show.
