Result: Black defeats Rollins by disqualification

Note: I attended this show live. Follow the Minutes to Bell Time Instagram to see my experience.

Match: Rollins and Black began trading holds and wrestling each other to the mat. Rollins nearly hit the stomp and Black nearly hit Black Mass before the commercial break. When the show returned from commercial, Black had control of the match, but Rollins drove Black’s throat into the top rope. Rollins followed up with a sling blade and then several strikes to the side of Aleister’s head.

When Black ran toward Rollins in the corner, Seth sidestepped and drove Black’s head into the turnbuckle. Black would land a number of knee and kick strikes before hitting his second rope moonsault and a roundhouse kick. When Aleister hit a German suplex, Murphy hit the ring for a disqualification.
