The remaining four matches, apart from one which landed exactly on Kambi's line, went over by at least half a star. 

The match which landed exactly on Kambi's line was the main event - Finn Balor .vs. Pete Dunne - which scored four-and-a-half stars from Dave Meltzer.

The NXT North American Championship match, which saw Johnny Gargano retain with a win over Kushida, was the bout that exceeded Kambi's line the most. It went three quarters of a star higher than Kambi's line.
