1. Noam Dar vs. Cedric Alexander

• Before the match, Noam Dar cut a promo explaining that Alicia Fox was at home nursing a neck injury.
• Alexander took the early advantage, and the bulk of the offence in the mach. Dar would occasionally cut him off and lock him in submission holds. Alexander hit a springboard clothes for a near-fall, followed shortly after by the Lumbar Check for the win.
• After the match Cedric told Noam he was done with him and Alicia Fox and was moving on.

Winner: Cedric Alexander

2. Mustafa Ali vs. Louie Valle

• Ali looked to have the match under control and was going to the top rope when Drew Gulak’s siren blared and he made his way to the ring. He had his normal “No Fly Zone” protest sign and was shouting more rhyming phrases about how cruiserweights shouldn’t dive.
• The distraction allowed Ali’s opponent to roll-him up, but Ali countered into a roll-up of his own and got the 3 count.
• Gulak was pleased with this as Ali won with an actual wrestling move. He would later say that he felt he was really getting through to Ali.
• After the match, Ali landed a springboard cannonball onto Gulak.

Winner: Mustafa Ali

• A video package of Rich Swann’s latest highlights was shown. He mentioned that he plans on climbing all the way back to the top of the brand, and once again becoming cruiserweight champion.

3. Cruiserweight Championship
Neville (c) vs. TJP

• TJP finally gets his title shot, his reward for weeks of doing Neville’s bidding, and helping him get through his title defences against Austin Aries.
• Despite having turned heel not long ago, TJP wrestled as the babyface here. The story was that Neville getting the majority of the offence, but TJP kept coming.
• Neville missed a diving corkscrew from the 2nd rope, which allowed TJP to lock in his knee-bar.
• Neville looked as though he was going to tap, but then countered the hold into the Rings of Saturn, and TJP tapped.

Winner: Neville (retains)
