We come back to Adam Rose with a chinlock on Breeze, but Breeze is able to hit a dropkick. Rose answers with one of his own for a two count. Rose lands an awesome spinebuster and turns it over into a Boston Crab, but Breeze gets to the ropes. He then hits a Cactus Jack elbow, but gets hit with the Beauty Shot back inside.

Winner: Tyler Breeze via pinfall (Beauty Shot)

Louis comes in and applies a hold to English's mandible, and he looks like a horror movie bad guy from the 40's. Gotch gets the hot tag and they hit the uppercut/neckbreaker combo for the win.
