Blake and Murphy vs ???
William Regal had been hyping his tag team all week, declaring that they would arrive and change the game. His charges were revealed to be two of England's hottest young stars, Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne. Although incredibly young, Bate and Dunne showed the fans exactly why William Regal chose them, running right through Blake and Murphy. Dunne, known as the Bruiserweight, finished Blake off with the Bitter End to pick up the easy debut victory.
Winners: Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne
Nikki Cross vs Billie Kay
It was clear that Nikki Cross wasn't all there throughout parts of this match, as she seemed to struggle with staying focused on the task at hand. When she was focused, though, she was devastating, as she withstood the power of Billie Kay to connect with a vicious neckbreaker and get the win.
Winner: Nikki Cross
Roderick Strong vs TJ Perkins
TJ Perkins has been a man with no real purpose since losing his Cruiserweight Championship and his subsequent loss in the NXT Championship Tournament. He looked to rebound against Roderick Strong, who was looking to prove just how good he is. These two technicians put on a hell of a match, trading strikes and deadly holds, one move away from ending the contest. It seemed like Perkins had finally gotten out of his funk, as he looked for the Detonation Kick, but Strong had the counter, using his agility to escape. He delivered a series of high impact back breakers, before locking in the Strong Hold, and Perkins had no choice but to tap out.
Winner: Roderick Strong
Rich Swann vs Neville
These two cruiserweights put on a show in our main event, with Rich Swann looking for the biggest win of his career over the Cruiserweight Champion, Neville. Incredible moves were the order of the day, as both men utilized their athletic gifts frequently. It is worth noting that Cedric Alexander was at ringside, and Neville was clearly focused on showing him up throughout the match. Although entertaining, it was Swann's out-going nature that doomed him on this night, as Neville managed to lock in the Rings of Saturn and pick up another win.
The King of the Cruiserweights lifted his championship high after the match, before locking eyes with Cedric Alexander, signaling that there is still unfinished business.
Winner: Neville
