Match

Ashton Smith and Oliver Carter have some new entrance music. The match begins with Carter and Barthel  in the ring, and Barthel immediately began stretching Carter. Aichner tagged into the match and brought Carter back to the mat with an arm drag.

Carter managed to land a number of strikes, but he couldn’t keep up with both members of Imperium. Aichner and Barthel isolated Carter in their corner beating him down with several strikes before they both landed dropkicks on Carter as he lay in the corner. Carter fought back and slipped out of a suplex getting the tag to Ashton Smith.

With Smith now in the ring, he hit a number of slams, but Carter tagged back into the match. Smith back body dropped Carter onto Aichner. Barthel jumped back in to even the score. As Imperium went for their finishing maneuver, Smith pushed Barthel off the ropes and Carter went for a pinfall out of the hurricanrana. He didn’t succeed. Imperium gets the win after the European Bomb.
