Ortiz tagged back in but Lee and Parker managed to subdue him and take control. We saw some good teamwork from 2point0 as Parker isolated Ortiz in their corner and tagged Daniel Garcia back in. Eddie Kingston came in without making a tag and the referee had to force him to leave the ring.

Santana tagged in and we saw more combination offense from the Inner Circle members. Matt Lee then pulled Santana's tights and rolled him up for the win.
