Zamasu dug his own grave by not practicing or wrestling in weeks. He had such high momentum walking into Galactic Throwdown and I think he wasted it all.

This was weird booking. Moon Knight put up what would appear to be an unstoppable offense. Instead, 13 showed his stamina and pain tolerance by continually kicking out of whatever Moon Knight threw at him. 13 looks really strong coming out of this, since it basically took him two moves to put away the top star on Green. I really want to see how this feud progresses. I think both men can put on an even greater rematch.
