The second match of the evening saw the much-awaited return of TM-61, who came out to a huge reception from the Philadelphia crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. Nick Miller started the match in a very pacey with a series of chops, Moonsault, and fist drop combo offence. The Ealys were on the outside, as Miller lowered the top rope for this partner Shane Thorne who performed an outstanding dive on The Ealys.
The Ealy Brothers then pulled off the “twin magic” where one twin replaces the other, as the duo stars to dominate on Nick Miller and prevents him from making a tag, however, after hitting a big clothesline Miller hot tags Shane Thorne. TM-61 quickly deposit one Ealy to the outside, as Miller and Thorne hit the Thunder Valley to pick up the win on their return match.
After picking up an impressive win, TM-61 was interviewed backstage by Christy St. Cloud, as we got to see the recap of the amazing NXT Title match between Andrade “Cien” Almas and Johnny Gargano followed by the return of Tommaso Ciampa.
Cathy Kelly then gives us a quick coverage of Andrade “Cien” Almas’ entry into this year’s Royal Rumble match, in which he lasted over 20 minutes and eliminated New Day member Kofi Kingston.
