Matt Riddle vs Cameron Grimes

Grimes leaped up for the Cave In immediately. Riddle rolled through and shot for the Final Flash knee strike, forcing Grimes to escape to the corner. Riddle trapped Grimes in the middle of the ring with a waist lock, picking him up and slamming him twice. Grimes broke out and attempted a roll-up. Riddle kicked out easily and transitioned into the Bromission.

Grimes blocked, forcing Riddle to adjust and lock in an armbar. Grimes turned Riddle over for a pinfall. Riddle kicked out and battered Grimes with a series of kicks, running elbows in the corner, and an exploder suplex. Grimes avoided a penalty kick and a standing moonsault, leading to the Broton and another penalty kick, this time connecting.

A Jackhammer to Grimes gave Riddle a nearfall. A few kicks to Grimes' chest left him gasping on the mat. Grimes avoided another penalty kick and rolled Riddle up. When Riddle broke out and ducked a kick, Grimes flipped over and caught him for a deadlift German suplex. Riddle kicked out at two as we went to commercial.

Back from the break, Riddle lit lup Grimes with more kicks. A ripcord knee set up for the Bro to Sleep. A German suplex with a bridge only earned the Original Bro a two-count. Riddle hit another Broton, and after taking an upward kick from a downed opponent, responded with another penalty kick. He set up for the Bro Derek, but Grimes countered, hitting a spin-out powerslam for a near fall.

Grimes broke out of a pinfall following a superplex, and put his knees up to stop the Floating Bro. A series of elbow strikes and kicks gave Grimes another nearfall. However, following a powerbomb, the Final Flash knee strike finally landed, allowing Riddle to finish him with the Bro Derek.

Results: Matt Riddle defeated Cameron Grimes via pinfall.

Grimes denied the fist bump following the match, which was then given to Tyler Bate again. When Bate tried to fist bump Grimes, he was shoved almost onto his back. Grimes turned and grabbed his hat, and when he walked back down the steps, was caught by a left jab from the Big Strong Boi, leaving him out cold on the floor.


Breezango were set to face off against the Forgotten Sons next. Originally Kushida was going to team with them in the six-man tag, but he unfortunately suffered an injury. Tyler Breeze and Fandango had only a short time to find a new partner. Who would they bring in to even the odds?
