Asuka vs Naomi
The Empress of Tomorrow came into this match in a fury, having lost for most of her time on the main roster thus far. Naomi simply couldn't compete, falling prey to the Asuka Lock.
Winner: Asuka
Zack Sabre Jr vs Rich Swann- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match
Sabre was considered a favorite by many to advance to the semi-finals, with Swann a massive underdog. Straight off the start, ZSJ was dominant, taking Swann apart with vicious kicks and slow, methodical offense. Swann stayed in the match, though, using his speed and athleticism to out-maneuver the slower Sabre. All the effort seemed for naught, though, when Sabre countered a high flying move into a cross armbreaker. Swann fought with everything he had, and countered into a small package, shocking the Technical Wizard and getting the three count to advance to the semi-finals.
Winner: Rich Swann
Cedric Alexander vs Drew Gulak- Cruiserweight Classic Group B Match
Drew Gulak had claimed to anyone that he could come across that this would be his night and that Cedric Alexander was going to be taken down a notch. Gulak was proved right at the start, out-wrestling Alexander and taking the high-flier out of his element. Drew would dominate most of the match, but ran into Cedric's incredibly resilience, that made it difficult to put him away. Alexander hung around, and that was good enough, as he turned things around with a big dropkick before putting Gulak away with a big sit-out full nelson facebuster.
Winner: Cedric Alexander
There you have it. Next week, we will see Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Kota Ibushi and TJ Perkins face off in the semi-finals, with the winners earning the chance to be crowned the first Cruiserweight champion.
