Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander vs Brian Kendrick and Drew Gulak
Swann and Alexander were semi-finalists in the CWC for a good reason, as they showed in this tag match. The brutality of Kendrick and Gulak simply wasn't enough, a 450 Splash from Swann to Gulak sealing the deal.
Winners: Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander
Alberto Del Rio vs Tye Dillinger
The Perfect Ten, Tye Dillinger, had all the fan support going up against Alberto Del Rio. Unfortunately, the veteran Del Rio picked the newcomer apart with vicious, methodical offense. Dillinger stayed alive as long as he could, even hitting a Tye Breaker for a two count, but in the end, it wasn't enough. Del Rio locked in the Cross Armbreaker, and Dillinger had no choice but to tap.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
TJ Perkins vs Kota Ibushi- Cruiserweight Title Match
This big rematch, with the brand new Cruiserweight Title at stake, got going in a quick way. The undefeated Ibushi got some high flying moves in early, but soon the tides had shifted. Perkins wrestled his style, picking Ibushi apart. For the second time in as many weeks, the Golden Star was in serious trouble. Perkins took Ibushi down to the mat, and locked in the TJP Clutch, right in the center of the ring. Ibushi struggled, but couldn't reach the ropes. He continued to fight, the hold locked in for whole minutes. Finally, shockingly, Ibushi tapped, and a new Cruiserweight Champion was crowned!
TJ Perkins lifted his new title aloft, getting congratulations from a still shocked Ibushi. It seemed all was right for TJP, until the music of Neville played. The Man That Gravity Forgot stormed the ring, blind-siding Perkins with big strikes. He decimated the new champ with a Red Arrow, before holding the title in the air to close the show.
Winner and the NEW Cruiserweight Champion: TJ Perkins
