Ace Austin defeats Blake Christian: Genesis January 9, 2021

Result: Ace Austin defeats Blake Christian

Match:

• Madman Fulton comes out but Austin lets him know he has this one and sends him to the back.
• I expected Ace Austin to win this tournament but Blake Christian being in the final, it is possible it could be a way to put Christian over if he is coming in to replace the spot left open by the Rascalz exit.
• I don’t think there has been a single match tonight that hasn’t been evenly booked. Always a great way to rebuild a division with some new names.
• Blake Christian BARELY missed Ace Austin when landing on the mat after Austin avoids him. Could have been badly just a centimetre closer.
• Interesting DDT from Blake Christian to Ace Austin sending him head first in to the top turnbuckle. Nice to follow it up with the flipping powerbomb.
• 450 to Ace Austin from Blake wasn’t able to get him the victory this time but Austin was only on the mat unlike Steve earlier.
• Loved how Austin and Christian set up the double stomp in the corner from Blake Christian. Looked a lot more natural than the usual.
• Christian is handing up Ace Austin like he did Crazzy Steve earlier but Austin moves and hits a springboard kick but only gets a two.
• Bad camera work since we didn’t get to see the actual grabbing of the bottom rope by Blake Christian to break the sharpshooter from Austin.
• Beautiful standing Spanish Fly from Blake Christian to counter Ace Austin coming off the ropes.
• Some great work from Blake Christian. This guy just needs a good gimmick and he will be money.
• Christian misses his diving corkscrew but Austin moves but Christian then counters the Fold but neither gets the pinfall yet.
• A little sloppy with the bridge coming out of the pin but both men have to be spent at this point, even though I assume they spread the matches out when they actually taped them.
• Blake Christian was able to get the Playing Card out of the hand of Austin before it could get used.
• Ace Austin is able to hit The Fold out of nowhere countering Blake Christian to get the pinfall victory and win the Super X Cup 2021.
• MATCH TIME: 19:52
