Five minute match, David and Goliath style. Lars won with his choke slam variant.

Good heat the entire match. EY did an elbow drop for a near fall and Akim pulled the ref out of the ring for the DQ.

– Oney Lorcan defeated Riddick Moss

Physical striking match, they worked hard until the finish where Lorcan hit a diving uppercut for the win.

Very good match here as Murphy could work with Almas’ lucha style. There were smooth wheelbarrow transitions and they exchanged near falls. Almas went for the running knees, but Murphy hit a superkick out of the corner. Almas was able to apply his key lock leg sweep DDT for the win.

Long match with a lot of different match-ups, Nakamura and Joe opened and went through a feeling out process. Once No Way Jose got in the match he was destroyed by the big men for an extended period of time.

Sabbatelli got the hot tag and ran wild with big stinger splashes in the corners, a high dropkick, and even a cross body on Joe. After everyone got involved and it broke down, Joe caught Sabbatelli in the clutch for the submission. Post-match, Shinsuke cleared house and even hit the Kinshasa on Joe. He proclaimed that he would take the title in Brooklyn.
