(4)  Death Triangle def. Dark Order…retain their World Trios Championship…a distraction on the ramp by Jose with an envelope for llll llll allows Rush to pass the timekeeper’s hammer to Pac, who knocks out Reynolds…Pac then applies the Brutalizer & the ref calls for the bell & submission win for Death Triangle (21:35).
