Shotzi Blackheart comes down and waves her flag around – she has a unique goth look. Shotzi locks her in a weird Indian deathlock variant. Allie escapes and gets an O’Connor roll for 2. Chops on the rope lead to a rope-leaning sliding D to the floor. Shotzi hits a big knee, but eats a series of forearms and a legsweep. Mssile dropkick into a German gets 2 for Allie.

The Sami-Eddie Edwards saga gets recapped, which is made better with Tommy Dreamer tying it into his feud with Raven. A Bond-esque video airs for a new knockout. Aries cuts a promo about Moose recruiting a retired football player to help him beat Aries. Gail faces Taryn in a GWN match. Deangelo is interviewed by Josh and we get a Moose video package alongside it. Aries comes down and buries Deangelo and Moose. He says Deangelo, just like Moose, hasn’t won a championship. Aries cheapshots him with a mic and stomps him. Deangelo kicks him and gets a chair, but gets punted low by Aries and chairshots his back and stands over him.


Gama Singh meets with KM and Fallah Bahh and it looks like we’ll get them against the Desi Hit Squad. Eli beats Grado in a short match with the Gravy Train.

OVE faces Swann and the Lucha Brothers in a fast-pace affair. Jake hits a gorgeous interception cutter on Swann. Pentagon hits Sami with a package piledriver while Fenix double stomps him for 2.9! Packag piledriver to Jake on the apron! Sami reverses a rana off the top into a super bomb and then hits a double underhook sholderbreaker for the win. Madison opens her studio door and it leads outside and she’s surrounded by Undead Bridesmaids. Okay, that was a thing.
