                    • Doesn’t take long for Bey and Ace to team up to take on Black Taurus until he is down long enough for them to go at it.
                    • If this is typical triple threat rules, why is Madman Fulton not getting involved right away?

                    • Sick Pop-Up Samoan Drop from Black Taurus on Chris Bey. That has to hurt all over.
                    • Fulton finally gets involved by stopping the Art of Finesse allowing Austin to pick up the pinfall victory over Bey and become #1 Contender.

                    • Doc Gallows then gives the hard tag back to Juice Robinson telling him to show what he can do. Seems the match is going to be a story of what you can do I can do better between Fin Juice and Good Brothers.

                    • Deonna Purrazzo is being interviewed with Kimber Lee and Susan about the now triple threat match tonight as well as saying she of course attacked ODB.

                    DEONNA PURRAZZO W/ KIMBER LEE & SUSAN VS. KIERA HOGAN W/ TASHA STEELZ VS. JORDYNNE GRACE W/ JAZZ – TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

                    • Jordynne Grace and Kiera send Deonna to the outside immediately as the match starts but then we go to commercial right after that. The last of many commercial breaks.
                    • Back from commercial and now Kiera and Deonna are working together against Jordynne Grace, which makes a lot more sense than Grace and Kiera working over Deonna.
                    • Armbar from Deonna but Jordynne Grace gets to the bottom rope. What would happen in a triple threat if you don’t let go of the submission?
                    • Beautiful roll through deadlift suplex from Jordynne Grace on Kiera Hogan.
                    • All the extras are brawling outside before Kiera and Deonna join in allowing Jordynne Grace to hit a Tope Suicida on them all.
