#8. Baron Black & Tony Donati vs. Santana & Ortiz
Black and Santana got things rolling. Baron rocked Santana with a backbreaker, but the Inner Circle member fought through the pain to take his opponent down.
Ortiz got his first taste of the action, and so did Tony Donati, who got laid out with the double under hook, chicken wing-esque suplex. Donati got caught in a sit-out powerbomb followed by a kick to the face. That was all she wrote.
This was the first one-sided squash match of the night
Result: Santana & Ortiz def Baron Black & Tony Donati
#9. Lance Archer vs. Jon Cruz & Jessy Sorensen (2-on-1 Handicap match)
Sorensen was the first to come out, but Cruz was nowhere to be seen. Lance Archer came out next, and he had Cruz on his shoulders.
As expected, The Muderhawk Monster dominated, albeit a brief Sorensen and Archer's brief attempt to fight back. Archer hit a very innovative choke slam-reverse DDT combo on both men. He pinned with his feet, but Cruz broke it up. It was a horrible decision as Archer repeatedly slammed both Cruz and Sorensen's heads into the mat before pinning them both. That was a squash match of the highest order.
Jake 'The Snake Roberts' even teased delivering his iconic DDT after the match but the veteran was just messing around.
Result: Lance Archer def. Jon Cruz & Jessy Sorensen
#10. Alan "5" Angels vs. Billy
Billy hugged referee Aubrey Edwards before the match, and she was naturally reluctant to commit to the hug. That was awkward to say the least!
Billy overpowered Angels in the early stages of the match. Billy hit a delayed vertical suplex for the two-count.
The veteran missed an elbow, and Angels capitalized by hitting a kick to the face followed by a double shotgun dropkick. Gunn managed to get the three-count after hitting the finisher on Angels.
Reynolds and Silver came out after the match, but Austin Gunn chased them off with a chair.
Result: Billy def. Alan "5" Angels
#11. Main Event: Private Party & SCU vs. Lucha Bros, The Butcher & The Blade
It took some time, but SCU took The Butcher off his feet with a double team schoolboy takedown. Butcher mustered up some strength despite the pain and made the tag to Blade, who locked horns with Kazarian.
Kazarian hit the snap suplex on Blade. Kassidy came in and lit up Fenix with a bunch of kicks. Pentagon was up next, and Private Party executed an elaborate double team sequence on the Lucha Bro. The faces made frequent tags as they worked on Pentagon's arm.
It didn't take long for the match to shift in favor of the heels as they cornered Kassidy. Fenix accidentally super kicked Blade after Kassidy got out of the way.
He rushed to his corner and tagged Marc Quen in. It was a free-for-all as every man in the match got into the ring and canceled each other out. They were all down as a chaotic sequence came to an end. Pentagon and Daniels engaged in a battle of brutal chops. The finish saw Butcher and Blade hit their final double team move on Daniels for the win.
Resilt: Lucha Bros, The Butcher & The Blade def. Private Party & SCU
