Otis Dozovic vs Tommaso Ciampa

Otis Dozovic received the biggest opportunity of his career.

Result: Tommaso Ciampa defeated Otis Dozovic via pinfall with the Draping DDT.

Grade: A

Analysis: Who could have expected this? Otis Dozovic and Tommaso Ciampa had an excellent back and forth matchup. It actually seemed like Otis Dozovic could get the upset at times. Otis Dozovic went through his entire moveset (and some new impressive moves) and almost put Tommaso Ciampa away many times in this match.

His power was excellently showcased in this match. Heavy Machinery has definitely improved since they first arrived at the performance centre. This match showed that Heavy Machinery is both charismatic and surprisingly excellent in the ring.

Tommaso Ciampa also looked good in this match as he was the opportunistic champ that took advantage when he could. He simply outsmarted Dozovic, it was not because he was simply the better man. While both superstars benefited from this match, Heavy Machinery's stock just massively increased.
