#1 Sonjay Dutt & Petey Williams vs. Trevor Lee & Caleb Konley
In the opening match of the night, the GFW X-Division Champion Sonjay Dutt teamed up with the returning Petey Williams to take on the team of Trevor Lee and Caleb Konley.
Dutt and Williams took control of the match right from the beginning, overpowering Lee and Conley to such an extent that they weren't able to attack them in any way. The babyfaces continued their assault, with both Williams and Dutt hitting "Oh Canada" to Lee and Konley in the corner.
The heels regained their composure and slowed down the babyfaces by subduing Williams. Williams got himself out of their clutches and tagged in Dutt, who removed Lee from the equation, thus allowing Williams to knock out Konley with the Canadian Destroyer, and letting Dutt pin Konley after nailing him with the top-rope splash.

Post-match, oVe came out and claimed that they were the best tag team in the world and that they were going to prove that by winning the GFW Tag Titles from LAX. Konnan made fun of oVe's name and challenged them to a tag match for the GFW Tag Titles at CRASH in Tijuana, Mexico.

#3 Taryn Terrell & Sienna (w/ KM) vs. Allie (w/ Braxton Sutter) & Gail Kim
Sienna and Gail Kim started out the match as the legal participants. They both engaged in a back-and-forth exchange of holds and lockups, which ended with Sienna getting the upper hand. Sienna tagged in Terrell, who smashed Kim's face on the mat several times.
Terrell tagged Sienna back in, who beat on Kim, before taunting Allie to come inside the ring, which distracted both Allie and the referee, and allowed Terrell to choke Kim illegally from the apron.
After getting overpowered throughout the match by Terrell and Sienna, Kim escaped somehow from their corner and tagged in Allie. Allie managed to get a near fall on Sienna after using the Allie Drop.
Shen then climbed to the top rope to finish off Sienna with the Diving crossbody, but KM grabbed her leg, thus prohibiting her from jumping. Braxton Sutter, Allie's boyfriend, came to the rescue and quickly took out KM.
Allie jumped on Sienna from the top rope with the crossbody, but Sienna turned over and pinned Allie successfully by holding onto her tights.
Post-match, Sienna and Terrell assaulted Allie, who was saved by Rosemary. Unfortunately, Rosemary's was unsuccessful, as both Sienna and Terell subdued her easily.
Before the heel-ish duo could do any more damage, AAA and Lucha Underground Superstar, Taya Valkyrie came out to the ring, but instead of attacking Sienna, Valkyrie took out Rosemary.
Taya was considered to be a WWE reject by many, but it's great to see her making big waves outside the compan

Low-ki and LAX came out to the ring, and Low-ki was furious about the fact that he was always shoved to the back of the line for the GFW Global Championship.

#4 Eli Drake (c) vs. Matt Sydal for the GFW Global Championship
Once the bell rang, Sydal used his fast-paced agility to engage in a few quick roll-ups to win the match, but Drake kicked-out from all of them. Sydal began manoeuvring at lightning-quick speed, but Drake had none of it and stopped him dead in his tracks to begin his hard-hitting assault.
At one point, Drake distracted the referee, which allowed Adonis to grab Sydal's leg. But, Sydal kicked Adonis away by using the baseball slide. Drake teased using a chair at one point but threw it away.
After several big moves and near falls later, Adonis slipped in the GFW title from the outside and slid in a chair from the other side of the six-sided ring.
The referee only caught notice of the chair and proceeded to get it out of the ring. Drake, on the other side, tried walloping Sydal with the title, but Sydal saw it coming and took out Drake with a high knee for a two count. Sydal went to the top-rope for the Shooting Star Press, but Adonis distracted him.
In the end, during this commotion, Drake finally took out Sydal with the title and nailed him with the Gravy Train for the win.
Result: Eli Drake def. Matt Sydal to retain the GFW World Championship
