Match

Joey Ryan was not in the ring when the bell rang. He demanded that the referee calm Cousin Jake down before he would get in the ring. Joseph Ryan slipped back in the ring and then out. When they both got in the ring, Cousin Jake got the early advantage with several strikes.

Joey Ryan rolled out of the ring again. Back in the ring, Joey Ryan drop kicked Cousin Jake. Jake returned to his feet and slammed Joey Ryan to the mat. After a sit-down powerbomb, Cousin Jake earned a near fall.

When Cousin Jake ran in for a splash in the corner, Joseph pulled the referee in front of him. The referee walked away, Ryan poked Jake in the eye, and Joey Ryan rolled up Cousin Jake for the pinfall victory. He used tights.
