Jushin Liger vs. Petey Williams
Bunch of chain wrestling to start. They fall to the outside, and Liger hits a plancha off the top rope to the floor. Back in the ring, Petey hits a big DDT, and goes for the Destroyer, but Liger reverses out of it, and goes for his Liger Bomb, but the feed goes bad. When the feed comes back up Tenay tells us that Liger got the win.
Winner – Liger

He sends Wildcat over the top, then into the crowd. AJ gets on the top rope, and leaps into the crowd on Wildcat! Back in the ring, there is a sequence of finishers. Wildcat gets laid out, Daniels drops Cowboy to the floor, then hits the BME on Wildcat, followed by a top rope splash for only a 2 count. Daniels and Wildcat go over the top, which leads to a ref bump. A nightstick comes down from the top, and they show that Gail Kim is in the rafters. AJ hits the Styles clash on Cowboys, but Wildcat gets in the ring, and clocks AJ in the back of the head with the nightstick, ref back in, 3 count.

I’m really excited for this match. Back and forth action, Tenay says that this is only the 2nd time that James Gang & 3D have faced each other.
