Trent Barreta vs. Tyson Kidd
Kidd comes out with Michael Hayes and Hayes talks a bit hyping up Kidd so I suppose he’s Kidd’s new manager, I really really hope they’re bringing back managers.
The match begins with the two locking up Tyson wants to go for the Sharpshooter but Barreta shakes away. Kidd goes out of the ring for some consulting and goes back into the ring and into a headlock. They get back to their feet and Barreta lands a dropkick and a bit clothesline. Kidd catches Barreta offguard by stepping out of the way and Kidd lands a kick and takes control. Kidd keeps Baretta in a headlock until the two get back to their feet and Kidd gets clotheslined out of the ring but Kidd pulls Barretta out as well as we go to commercial.
We return with Kidd in control and has Barreta in a headlock which means Barreta gets back to his feet. Barreta lands the awesome looking backflip corkscrew thing from the top rope but only gets a two count. Barreta then lands a springboard kick and getting a two count again. Kidd gets Barreta caught up in the ropes and hits a back suplex. Kidd lands a kick and then tries a springboard elbow but catches Barreta’s knees and Barreta responds with a running dropkick and gets a two count to show for it. Barreta goes for the Dudebuster but Tyson counters it into the sharpshooter and Barreta taps.
Winner: Tyson Kidd

Kozlov pushes Ryder back into the ring but Kozlov gets attacked from behind from Curt Hawkins. Kozlov gets thrown back into the ring and Ryder hits the Rough Ryder and gets the pin. A Hawkins and Ryder reunion? I’m ok with that
