'Gentleman' Jack Gallagher vs Mustafa Ali
Jack Gallagher made his way to the ring for the final First Round Match of the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament with a new look, as he braced himself to face Mustafa Ali.
Gallagher backed Ali into the ropes and then went into a test of strength against him, while Murphy watched on from the back.
Gallagher worked on Ali's left shoulder and worked to weaken it. Ali tried to get out but was unable to as Gallagher refused to let go. Gallagher caught Ali and dropped him with a backdrop focusing the offence on his arm. He locked Ali down with an armbar.
Ali quickened the pace and locked in the Half Boston Crab. Gallagher rushed Ali and went over his back into a handstand on the corner ropes.
Gallagher and Ali did some flips countering and reversing their moves. Ali and Gallagher tried to pin each other with innovative roll-ups in a fast-paced back and forth.
They locked up in the corner and Gallagher hit Ali with strikes and hit him with a headbutt. Ali got caught in the apron, and Gallagher hit him with a number of strikes. He followed up once inside the ring and knocked him down, followed by a snap suplex.
Gallagher seemed to ground Ali, but Ali countered with a mid-air dropkick, followed by a Hurricanrana. He then dropped him with a facebuster. They ended up on the top rope, where Gallagher hung up Ali's arm on the rope, then sending him into the corner.
Ali was still able to kick out, but Gallagher locked in the armlock on him. He hit him with a Hammerlock Slam and continued to focus his attention on that arm. Ali botched a slam to the outside and hurt himself as he landed badly.
On the top rope, Ali came back with a dive, which Gallagher turned into an armbar. He followed Ali with the armbar to the top rope and then threw him out of the ring with a huge dropkick. He attacked his arm outside again, as Gallagher unleashed his vicious offence.
Gallagher hit Ali with elbows and then went for the cover for a near-fall. Ali reversed a backdrop and hit Gallagher with a Superkick. He hit the Reverse 450 Splash on Gallagher to pick up a surprise win out of nowhere after a match that was dominated by Gallagher. He progressed to the second round of the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.
