Gauntlet Match: Mustafa Ali vs Drew Gulak

Drew Gulak came out next, smirking as he walked to the ring. Ali was barely able to stand after the damage to his knee. Gulak eyed his knee, asking Ali if he was okay.

Gulak cornered Ali in the corner, but Ali caught him with a roll up. However, Gulak broke out, then picked him up, slamming him into the ropes, with his right knee getting hung up in the ropes.

Gulak went after Ali but was stopped once he reached the outside with a kick to the face. Ali went to the top rope and hit Gulak with a flying cross body, which was countered into a single leg Boston crab. Ali broke out, only for Gulak to turn him inside out with a lariat.

Gulak began stomping on Ali's knee, then forced him to the ropes to apply more pressure.

Gulak then stretched Ali with a headlock/leglock combination, but Ali fought out of it before Gulak planted him with a flapjack. Gulak continued to attack Ali's right knee, repeatedly elbowing and kicking it.

Ali tried to fight out again, hitting Gulak with stiff elbows. When Ali pushed Gulak into the ropes, he went for a snap hurricanrana but was caught, with Gulak forcing him into another single leg Boston crab.

Ali escaped, catching Gulak with an enziguri. Ali's speed allowed him to get some offence in, but Gulak countered his rolling facebuster, slamming him to the mat with a powerbomb followed by another single leg Boston crab.

Gulak grabbed Ali's right arm, forcing him into a modified bow and arrow, but Ali got his arm free and worked his way towards the ropes again. Gulak slammed Ali's head into the turnbuckle before putting him up top, taunting him all the way.

Ali caught Gulak with a stiff slap to the ear, before slamming him into the bottom turnbuckle. He put the submission specialist in a modified single leg Boston crab before Gulak rolled out of the ring. Gulak wasn't safe, however, as Ali hit him with a flying cross body to the outside.

Ali threw Gulak back in, but as he went through the ropes, Gulak took out his knee again. Gulak went to lock in the GuLock, but Ali countered, managing to hit him with a tornado DDT. Ali went for the 054, but his knee gave out, stopping him from ascending the ropes.

When he got to the top, Gulak tossed him off, and he landed face first on the steel steps. Gulak rolled him back into the ring, locking him into the GuLock. Gulak picks up the submission victory, eliminating Ali from the match.

Result: Drew Gulak eliminated Mustafa Ali
