Match

Devlin and Banks wrestled through the first three minute of the match with Travis Banks getting two or three pinfall attempts. Devlin slipped to the outside, and upon coming back into the ring, Banks clotheslined him back out. Travis Bank went for a suicide dive, but he missed and hit the barricade very hard.

Back in the ring, Devlin hit Banks with a running knee. As Devlin ran into the corner, Banks managed to kick him in the face, but moments later Devlin hit a standing Spanish Fly to stop Banks from seizing control of the match. Devlin and Banks exchanged chops until Devlin put Banks down on the mat. Jordan Devlin slammed Travis Banks with a ura nage, but he missed a moonsault. Banks then made his comeback hitting a cannonball in the corner and a German suplex with a bridge for a near fall.

Banks hit a number of strikes that eventually sent Devlin to the outside. This time Banks hit the running suicide dive. After tossing Devlin back in the ring, Banks used a double stomp to earn a near fall. Devlin connected with a double stomp and then both men used head butts to take each other out. Jordan Devlin climbed to the top, but Banks took out his legs and hit a double stomp. That exchange was not enough to earn Banks the pin, so Banks climbed back to the top.

Before Banks could do anything, Devlin hit a enziguri and used a cutter to pull Banks off the ropes.

Banks hit slice of heaven, but Jordan Devlin evaded the Kiwi Crusher. Devlin surprised Banks with an O’Connor Roll for the pin.
