(7) Mike Bailey def. CJP. Parker did some amazing heel work before the match, coming out and cutting a promo trashing the CZW product. He even referenced veterans like Jon Moxley (Ambrose), Sami Callihan (Crowe) and Drake Younger (NXT referee), who he said told him all about the Combat Zone and that it “f***ing sucks”.
CZW Tag Team Championship Match
(8) Nation of Intoxication vs. Ohio is 4 Killers ended in a no-contest. This was a great match that ended in chaos, with a Eric Ryan run-in and a Devon Moore counter-run-in. OI4K did a heel promo, David Crist threw down the tag titles and threatened to piss on them, but a ton of talent came out and chased them off.
-Alexander James is out and says he had the Honorary Jr. Heavyweight Championship stolen from him. The lights go out and on, and Dewey Donovan is in the ring. Hardcore Nick Cage then made his return after four years, followed by Matt Tremont. BLK Jeez capped it all off and called himself the new king of CZW. A huge brawl started and they all had to be pulled apart.
