Ariya Daivari and Brian Kendrick vs. Tony Nese and Mike Kanellis

205 Live February 14

Kanellis has been out for quite some time. Tony Nese would attempt a moonsault on Daivari about 3 minutes into the match, but Kendrick pulled Daivari out.

Kendrick and Daivari would isolate Kanellis and used the outside barricade. Daivari and Kendrick kept knocking Nese off the apron to make sure the tag would not be made.

Nese finally got the tag, ran wild, and connected with his moonsault this time. Kanellis and Nese hit combination offense on Daivari, but Kendrick was the legal man. Kendrick locked in the Captain’s Hook on Kanellis for a long time, but Nese broke it up.

Nese hit a Fosbury flop and a 450 splash, but his pinfall was broken up by Kendrick. Kendrick got another blind tag, hit the sliced bread, and tagged in Daivari who hit a frog splash. When that didn’t secure the pinfall, Kendrick and Daivari brought in chairs.

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch’s music played allowing Tony Neese to roll up Daivari for the pinfall victory. Covered in bandages from getting beat up earlier in the night, Burch and Lorcan used the chairs to take out Daivari and Kendrick.
