The Acclaimed and Gunn Club's promo segment

Kings of the Black Throne vs. Ortiz and Eddie Kingston
Brody King chopped Ortiz to the ground at the start of the match. Ortiz tried figuring back, but King’s strength gave him the advantage. Ortiz attacked Brody’s knee and tagged in Eddie Kingston as Malakai Black tagged in.
They dodged each other’s offense as we got a stalemate in the middle of the ring. The heels took charge as they isolated the Mad King. Brody King tagged in and delivered a cannonball in the corner. Eddie delivered an Enziguiri and a half-and-half Suplex but refused to tag in Ortiz.
Ortiz helped him regardless, dropping Malakai Black with a DDT as Eddie got a nearfall. Malakai fought back with a rising knee strike as Buddy Matthews, and Julia Hart made their way to the ring. Ortiz stopped Eddie from using a steel chair and this confusion allowed Malakai Black to hit a Black Mass on Eddie Kingston for the win.
