Back from commercial, Suicide continued to use his speed to maintain the advantage. Suicide hit a cannonball to the floor. Suicide hit Kenny Omega’s you can’t escape combo for a near fall.

Moose ran into the referee, and Suicide hit a code breaker when Moose was coming off the top rope. Of course, Moose was on the mat for several moments. When the referee came to, Moose went for the spear and Suicide hit a sunset bomb for another near fall. The referee’s count was slow.

Moose hit a low blow and then the no jackhammer needed for the pinfall victory.
