INTERMISSION
Match Five: Deonna Purrazzo & Amber Gallows v. Solo Darling & Mandy Leon
Purrazzo and Leon did good back and forth work early on before Darling and Gallows were respectively tagged in.
Purrazzo provided a quick distraction that let Gallows take advantage. It broke down into a fight outside with Gallows & Purrazzo doing good heel double team work.
They cut the ring off for Darling, but she got the hot tag to Leon and she cleared house for a bit before the double team work got the best of her. She was able to fight her way back and Leon got Gallows in a hangman’s submission for the win.
WINNERS: Solo Darling & Mandy Leon
Match Six: Adam Cole v. ACH
Cole did his usual “Adam Cole, Bay Bay!” taunt early on, so ACH responded with “ACH, Bay Bay!” to get under his skin. Cole called for a test of strength. ACH did the wind up with his arm, and when they clasped hands, Cole kicked him in the gut.
The two spilled to the outside. Cole tossed ACH toward the barricade, but ACH jumped up on it. Before he could do anything, Cole kicked his legs or from under him and ACH took a dangerous backwards tumble to the floor.
Back in the ring, Cole controlled the action until ACH countered an Irish whip with a vicious lariat, followed by an Exercist kip up to his feet. Very impressive stuff.
They went back to the floor, but when they came in, ACH ran into a super kick and a sliding Bomaye for a near fall.
ACH got Cole to the floor, and he finally hit the huge second rope somersault plancha for the biggest reaction of the night!
The two traded awesome near falls and had the crowd on fire. ACH had Cole primed for a German suplex when Cole pulled a Toru Yano and grabbed the referee and distracted him while crotching ACH with a backwards leg. He then hit the spinning brainbuster onto his knee for the win.
WINNER: Adam Cole
Match Seven: All Night Express (Rhett Titus & Kenny King), Silas Young & Beer City Bruiser v. The Briscoes & War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson)
The match was pandemonium early on with brawling all over the place and dives by both Briscoes to the floor.
When the match came back in the ring, they got the heat on Mark before he made the hot tag to Jay. That didn’t last long as the match broke down again with everybody quickly coming in at some point.
One point should be made. Beer City Bruiser hit Hanson with a frog splash and it was amazing. Then Hanson hit a somersault plancha from the top rope to the floor on everyone and that was even more amazing.
Eventually, Bruiser was isolated and Mark hit him with the top rope frog elbow for the win. After the match, The Briscoes and War Machine got nose to nose to tease an eventual title match.
WINNERS: The Briscoes & War Machine
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
