Match

This is a Caribbean Rules Match for the Caribbean Championship. Holliday didn’t allow the referee to hold the belt up. He wanted to do it himself. While this is a title match, the belt actually still belongs to Savio Vega. Richard Holliday used some purely before locking up with Chessman.

Action immediately spilled to the outside where Holliday hit Chessman with a steel chair. The referees are again favoring AAA as the referee executed a very slow count on Holliday’s first pinfall attempt. Chessman knocked Holliday to the outside, hit a suicide dive into the barricade, and then followed up with a chair shot.

Back in the ring, Chessman hit a moonsault but then missed on a tornillo from the top. This allowed Holliday to hit the Market Crash Gut Wrench Power Bomb for the pinfall victory.
