“WHERE’S MY FUCKING GANG AT, I SAID WHERE’S MY FUCKING GANG AT. I’ll tell you what it feels fucking good to have our title back around my waist.

Scramble Match: Sawyer Wreck vs. Alec Price vs. Axton Ray vs. Lio Rush vs. Shane Mercer vs. Dustin Waller
Mercer and Lio Rush cleared the ring and started to go after each other, Mercer tried to charge into the corner but Lio Rush was able to get out of the way. Lio attempted a swinging DDT but Mercer stopped him and got Lio up in the Military Press position. Lio wiggled out of it and sent Mercer to the floor where he took him out with a tope; Ray and Waller followed suit. Sawyer was unimpressed and pulled a chair up and goaded Dustin Waller and hit him in the head with a chair. Price attempted to Sabu a chair at Wreck but Wreck blocked it but was caught with a kick to the jaw which sent her to the floor. Axton Ray took her spot and ran an impressive offensive sequence with Price; Price and Waller were able to get Mercer out of the ring with a series of high-flying offenses. Price turned his back on Waller but was quickly taken out by the much quicker Lio Rush. Price was rocked by a spinning roundhouse kick to the head, Price got out of the way and they both were sent to the canvas with a double chokeslam. Price received a great reaction when he came out to challenge Gage and it continued to grow throughout this match. Mercer hit Wreck with the moonsault and battery but before he was able to win the match, Waller came off the top rope with a giant splash and was planted with a code red. There was a weird moment where Waller didn’t kick out of a move but the ref called off his own three-count, which led to Lio Rush hitting a Frog Splash on Alec Price for the victory.
Lio Rush won the Scramble Match
Singles Match: Blake Christian vs. Shun Skywalker
The two engaged in a series of feeling-out sequences but Skywalker hot-shotted Christian on the second rope with a monkey flip and started to work over Blake’s arms. Skywalker’s advantage didn’t last long as Blake Christian built up some momentum which sent Skywalker begging off into the opposite corner. Christian followed Skywalker and started to run wild with his constant motion-based offense. These two are very evenly matched and a lot of fun to watch as they never let a moment breathe. Christian went to the corner to recover but Skywalker kicked him in the face and planted him with a falcon arrow for a two-count. Christian responded with a handspring into a kick to the head, Skywalker was sent to the floor and taken out by a beautiful Arabian Press. Blake Christian hit a big Frog Splash for a two count, and before he jumped he pointed to the sky, as it is Eddie Guerrero’s birthday. Christian was briefly taken off of his feet after a couple of strikes to the head, he tried to fire back up but was again cut off by Skywalker’s impactful offense. Blake Christian was able to land a springboard 450 for the victory. The pin came out of nowhere but this was a very good back-and-forth match.

Singles Match: Gringo Loco vs. Masha Slamovich

They got down to business right away as they each tried to get the advantage over the other; they had a couple of aggressive lockups before they took their fight to the floor. While they were on the floor they continued to chop each other on all sides of the ring; considering how technically gifted both men are I was surprised to see this match spill to the outside so early into the match. There’s a man in the crowd wearing an American flag onesie who is desperately trying to make himself a thing. It’s embarrassing. The fight returned to the ring where Speedball took out YAMATO with a top rope shotgun drop kick followed by a stiff kick to the chest and a brutal double knee. Bailey locked in a leg lock and started to wrench away on YAMATO’s ankles in the center of the ring.

Bailey attempted the flamingo driver but YAMATO caught him with a sleeper suplex that planted Bailey right on his head. Bailey kicked out but YAMATO hit Galleria for the victory. This was an amazing back-and-forth match that delivered far beyond the already high expectations.
