Recap of Last Week’s Undead Realm Situation

Josh Alexander defeats Eddie Edwards

Edwards and Alexander began with a collar and elbow tie up and transitioned to an exchange of chops. Alexander seemed to get the better of that exchange, but Edwards grabbed Alexander into an inverted atomic drop and an overhead belly to belly suplex. Neither man sustained an advantage because they both show boat to the crowd. With Alexander on the outside, Edwards came out after him.

Alexander caught Edwards coming back in the ring, hitting several strikes and a side suplex. Edwards managed to pop out of the corner and hit a strong clothesline. Following the clothesline, Edwards lured Alexander to the outside where he connected with a suicide dive into the barricade. Edwards received a near fall after a Blue Thunder Bomb.

Josh Alexander countered out of the backpack stunner to hit a swinging slam out of the fireman’s carry. Both men stood in the center of the ring exchanging chops with Edwards getting the advantage.
