Lorcan and Barthell started off the match and quickly broke down to trading blows. Barthell drove Lorcan into their corner and tagged in Aichner who took Lorcan down with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.

Barthell and Aichner kept beating down Lorcan, but he eventually escaped to tag in Burch, who lit up both opponents in a 2-on-1 fury. A headbutt left Barthell on the ground while Burch focused on the legal man, Aichner. Burch tagged in Lorcan, but before they could go for their finish, Barthell interrupted, sending crashing to the mat with an Air Raid Crash.

A clothesline from Aichner turned Lorcan inside out, and Aichner and Lorcan hit the launching brainbuster. A double springboard moonsault nearly gave Aichner the win, but Lorcan escaped.

Lorcan countered another double team maneuver, locking in Aichner with a single leg Boston crab. Barthell and Burch got back in the ring, and all four men traded some deadly strikes with each other.

Lorcan and Burch took Barthell out on the outside, only for Aichner to leap to the top rope and take all three men down with a crossbody. Lorcan rolled up Aichner in the ring while Burch kept Barthell away to pick up the win.

Results: Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch defeated Fabian Aichner & Marcell Barthel via pinfall.
