Preston Vance grabbed Darby Allin off the second rope and German Suplexed him before the bell. Vance tossed Darby to the outside and through him into the barricade and the ring apron. Darby evaded a suplex by floating over and tossed Vance into the ring post. He also through Vance’s wrist into the ring post. Darby immediately climbed to the top rope, but Preston caught him and slammed to the mat. Vance maintained the advantage with a high kick, several chops, and a couple of stiff elbows.
