Chuck Taylor & Trent? def. AR Fox & Rich Swann || ***1/4
Kevin Steen is on commentary. Trent kicks things off against Rich Swann, getting the better of a lock-up. In comes Sexy Chuckie T who locks in a Figure Four on AR Fox to a big “woo!” chant. Their partners come in and alternate turning pressure on the hold. Trent gets a tag and teases a springboard dive, but just lands on the ground and kicks Fox in the ear. There's a lot of fooling around, like Taylor taking pictures with a fan's camera. Chuck hits a suplex with a kip-up, telling AR Fox to “suck it”, but Rich Swann comes back with a double Ace Crusher to both his opponents. In comes Fox, who clears the ring of the “best friends”, going suicide dive to Trent, then again to Taylor, followed by a big senton over the top rope. Taylor and Trent come back and poke fun at the Brothers of Destruction, hitting a double chokeslam, as Kevin Steen puts it over as the best he's ever seen (in any promotion). Fox hits the ring and starts throwing superkicks, and all four guys are down to a “this is awesome” chant. Trent reveals he's got Chuck Taylor on his tights (he usually has Bill Murray), and hits the Sexy Chuckie Knee for a close two-count. Fox and Swann resond with 450 splashes on Trent, but Taylor breaks it up and goes to work with knife-edge chops. They set up for the Doomsday Device, but Taylor counters it and hits a belly-to-belly on Swann off the top rope. The Awful Waffle puts this one away for Team Best Friends. (19:54)
Drake Younger def. Tommaso Ciampa, Brian Cage, Anthony Nese || ***3/4
Ciampa is destroying people as they fade into this match, dumping Drake into the ring apron with an Air Raid Crash. He turns his attention to Brian Cage, but gets hit with some hard elbow shots. Younger goes for a moonsault to the outside, lands it, but his feet hit one of the lights hanging from the ceiling to a big pop. Ciampa with a German Suplex to Drake; Cage with a German on Drake; Nese with a German on Drake and he gets a two-count. Big Cage is just manhandling everyone, including a deadlift vertical suplex on Tony Nese. Younger comes off the top rope, but Cage literally catches him in a suplex out of the air and picks up a count of two with a side slam. Ciampa is back up and pulls down his knee pad, nailing Nese with a series of unprotected knees. He climbs up to the top rope with Nese on his shoulders, hitting another Air Raid Crash from on high, but Cage breaks it up. Cage with a Perfect Plex pin on Ciampa, but Nese comes out of nowhere with a 450 Splash. German suplexes everywhere, until Ciampa and Cage brawl to the floor. Nese with a superkick to Cage, followed by springboard inside cradle to Drake Younger, but instead of taking the pin he deadlifts him and tosses Drake over the ropes onto the other two. Nese builds up a head of steam, but Ciampa turns him inside-out with a lariat, before hitting Project Ciampa; Cage breaks up the pin. Cage doesn't get all of Project X, and Drake Younger takes advantage, hitting Drake's Landing (Fade to Black) on Ciampa for the 1-2-3. (12:16)
Johnny Gargano def. Roderick Strong || ****
Gargano doesn't want to deal with chops from Strong, so he puts on a hoodie and makes fun of either TJ Perkins or AJ Styles with his hood. Strong gets a hold of him, unzips the hoodie and chops away at him anyways. They head into a clinic of chain grappling, exchanging holds with reversals to a great show a respect from the fans and announce team. Gargano starts to work Strong's digits, saying he can't chop anybody with broken fingers. The match spills to the outside as Gargano hits a senton off the apron. Split crowd. Johnny dives through the second rope, but Strong catches him and hits a backbreaker. He gets his revenge with a few harsh chops, followed by another backbreaker and a quick series of vertical suplexes. Off the Irish whip both men go for a crossbody, and there's a collision in the middle of the ring. Roderick with a superkick, but Gargano responds with a front face kick off the ground. Johnny with a enzuigiri, but he runs into a big forearm shot, and Strong follows up with a backbreaker off the ring apron. Strong with a running knee, running elbow and an Angle Slam for a count of 2.5. Gargano fights back with some infective looking elbows to the face, followed by a superkick, and lawn darts Strong into the corner. The Gargano Escape is locked in, but Strong reverses into the Strong Hold; Johnny escapes but runs into the Sick Kick, and both guys are down. The referee gets to a count of nine before the get up. A crazy series of reversals leads to the Hurts Donut from Gargano, but Strong kicks out. Strong with a gutbuster, followed with the Gibson Driver, but no luck on the pin. They trade superkicks, as neither wants to fall, but Johnny locks in the Gargano Escape, and Strong has no choice but to tap out. (24:06)
