    Fantasy rematch

    The finals match for which I would like the see a rematch is 133. I will freely acknowledge my bias and I'm sure both wrestlers were feeling the pressure of the finals match, but it seemed to me that Davino wrestled a match very similar to his previous matches and Jax was noticeably more...

    Jax - national seed

    133 Seeding Predicament

    Also, I know you can get yourself tied in a knot with comparative scoring but just recently Jax tech falled Ayala and the Ayala/Blaze/Davino matches were all close

    Jax - national seed
