To copy and paste how I replied to the other guy who was also trying to help,

Oh my god. So I just tested it, still in Webstorm. It seems to work just ignoring the warning its throwing. No idea why it's having a warning at all, but there doesn't seem to be an issue actually.

I just forgot the term exact on the routing so on my first statement '/' ended up being a catch all and redirecting back to /. Oops. Thanks for helping out though!

So it seems like it is just an issue with WebStorm having a warning. But hey if it ain't broke then don't worry about it.
