Rich Swann vs. Noam Darr
Swann starts things off with a side headlock, taking things down to the mat. Darr tries to go off the ropes twice, but Swann hung on to the hold. Darr finally broke out of it, but got flipped over right back into the hold. Things got going with some excellent back and forth chain-grappling, Swann leaping over his opponent with a full 360 front flip into another side headlock, countered into a leg scissors, countered right back into the side headlock. A great technical contest thus far.
They fight up to the top turnbuckle and Darr crotches him on the ropes, then takes him to the floor with a flying clotheslines. Darr goes after him, throwing Swann into the announce table, into the barricade, and into the side of the ring. Back in the ring he starts throwing rights and lefts, then mocks the dancing moves of his opponent, followed by a stiff running kick. He maintains control, hitting a butterfly suplex and going into a side headlock takeover of his own. Darr starts to target the arm until Swann comes back with kicks and a big tope con hilo over the ropes, taking them both to the floor. Swann drops his opponent over the barricade and hits an RVD-like leg drop. He goes up to the top rope, connects with a Phoenix Splash, but he came down on the damaged arm and can’t get a full pin. Darr hangs him by the arm in the ropes until the referee has to break it up. Swann fights back as well as he can, but comes off the top rope and gets caught out of the air into a Fujiwara armbar. Swann gets to the ropes and the two fight back and forth, slowly, but Darr has done too much damage to the arm and hits the running enzuigiri for the win. Winner: Noam Darr
– Alicia Fox comes out after the match as Noam Darr is celebrating his victory. She yells “YES” back at the crowd as they give her the “NO” treatment. Fox and Darr embrace in the ring and celebrate together…apparently reunited. Tom Phillips echoes the fans, having no idea what is going on, as 205 Live goes off the air.
