Match: Kross immediately took Lawlor off his feet with a kick to the side of the head. Lawlor and Kross fought to the outside where Kross suplexed Tom on the apron. With Kross tied up in the ropes, Lawlor got free and hit a spinning heel kick to take over the match. Tom hit Kross with a pair of kicks to the chest, but Kross caught the third one. Despite catching the foot of Lawlor, Kross could not maintain an advantage.

Moments later, Kross did get the advantage back with a pair of suplexes. Kross cinched in a chicken wing, but Lawlor rolled them both to the outside. Erick Stevens hit the ringside area and attacked Kross to cause the disqualification.
