Page/Omega vs FTR - Contrasted with their Title Run
Page and Omega's first 5 matches for the title were statistically very different to their last 4 defences. The beginning was a dysfunctional underdog story and came out as such statistically. The match with Best Friends was the first of 4 defences that saw them grow into dominant, hard-hitting champions. This is detailed in the data below.
The chart below displays Page/Omega's performance against FTR alongside their average numbers for their whole reign as well as the averages for the first half and second of their reign .
The length of the FTR match means that offence rates were on the low side as longer matches leads to chunks of slower paced exchanges, in comparison to the usual 12-15m matches. However we can see that Page and Omega struggled to get their performance against FTR near to their better numbers.
What we can take from this is the stronger half of their reign is characterised by more submission and strike usage. Page and Omega made great use of strikes in this match but were unable to convert that into any kind of dominance that could be converted into grounding submission holds.
The only metric that Page and Omega made more use of compared to their normal was in dives. This indicated Page and Omega were throwing caution to the wind in order to turn the tide.
As we can see Page and Omega's split of offence in this match matched their prior title match average. However it didn't come anywhere need the 60% average that characterised the more dominant second half of their reign. In a match against a team like FTR, even 48% of the offence was too much to concede.
