Singles Match: Broski Jimmy Lloyd vs. Dulce Tormenta
Jimmy rocked Dulce with an elbow and started to work over her arm. She used the top rope for leverage to break out of his hold and took him down with a head scissors and an arm drag, sending him to the floor. Dulce went for a dive, but Jimmy moved out of the way. Luckily, she was able to put on the brakes but was caught with a Blue Thunder Bomb for a quick near fall.
Dulce lit Jimmy up with a series of overhand chops followed by an inverted stunner. She went for a running hip attack, but Jimmy moved out of the way and went for the Broski Boot. She dodged it and spiked Jimmy with a DDT. Jimmy rolled to the floor, and Dulce wiped him out with a big tope, but Jimmy fired up with a series of Broski Boots followed by the Radio Silence, which was still only good for a two count.
Dulce hit Jimmy with double knees to his back and face before nailing him with a destroyer for the victory.

Singles Match: Joey Janela vs. Chris Carter

Joey went to the floor to try and walk it off but was taken out by Carter, who came off the top with a big dive. Chris went for a handspring, but Joey caught him and launched him with a German suplex followed by a Dragon suplex for a near fall. Carter spiked Joey with a springboard Dragonrana. Joey went to the floor where he caught a diving Carter and dumped him on the floor with a Death Valley Driver, followed by another one in the ring, but again Carter kicked out. Joey went under the ring, brought out a door and a chair, and set up a door bridge on the floor. Chris jumped Janela from behind and placed him on the door bridge. Chris came off the balcony with a splash, sending them both crashing through the door. Joey was brought back into the ring and hit with a shooting star press, but Janela kicked out. Janela nailed Carter with an uppercut, chopped away at his chest, and hit him with a package piledriver for the pin and the win.

Manders was sent back into the ring but got the head start on Savage, kneeing him in the gut and hitting him with a DDT. Savage responded with an overhead suplex which stunned the big man from Iowa.

Everyone tried to gang up on Stackhouse, but he easily shrugged them all off and took them down with clotheslines, sending them all to the floor. Stackhouse took down the shoulder straps and took flight, bowling over all of his competition. Stackhouse sent Mago and Flaco back into the ring; they took him out and started beating each other up with a series of kicks and strikes.

Tag Team Match: Los Desperados vs. Los Macizos
Arez and Miedo started the match battling for position with various lucha holds and arm drags before wrestling to a stalemate. They each tagged in their partners, who picked up where they left off with neither man able to gain a real advantage. All four men began trading a flurry of punches inside the ring.

Deathmatch: John Wayne Murdoch vs. Zilla Fatu
Something that will stay with me for a long time is Zilla’s Mom, I’m assuming, proudly marching around ringside with a cutout of her as the crowd went crazy for her son. That’s why wrestling is awesome—the little moments like that.
Murdoch said he was going to piss all over the Bloodline and his family and gave Zilla one more chance to leave the ring. Zilla didn’t respond kindly, hitting Murdoch with a quick F5 for a near fall. Zilla followed with a belly-to-belly suplex and dropped an elbow on The Duke for good measure. Zilla grabbed a bundle of tubes, and the crowd went wild as he unloaded on Murdoch with the bundle for another near fall. He then set up a pane of glass in the corner, placed Murdoch in front of it, and went for a spear. However, Murdoch moved out of the way, causing Zilla to crash headfirst into the glass.
Murdoch started working over Zilla on the floor, grabbing a torch and repeatedly beating Zilla’s back with it before wrapping it around his neck. Both men were bleeding profusely as Murdoch broke a bundle of tubes over Zilla’s exposed legs. He dragged a steel step into the ring and DDT’d Zilla onto them for a near fall. Murdoch then broke another bundle of tubes across Zilla’s lower back and started carving away at his forehead and hand, trying to neutralize the Samoan Spike.
Zilla went to the floor to get a reprieve, but Murdoch continued with a series of chops to the rookie’s chest. Murdoch set up a pane of glass across the second rope, but Zilla fired up and drove Murdoch through the glass with a Rock Bottom. Murdoch retaliated with a low blow and hit Zilla with a bundle of tubes, but it only fired Zilla up. Murdoch tried again, but Zilla ran through the tubes, taking Murdoch down with a lariat into a pop-up Samoan drop.
Zilla grabbed a door from underneath the ring, set it up on the floor, placed Murdoch on it, and then got a running start off the apron to splash Murdoch through the door. Zilla hit the Tournament of Survival 9 Champion with a Samoan Spike to claim the victory.
