Young Bucks vs. War Machine

War Machine beats the brakes of of Young Bucks to kick it off, and Nick Jackson gets press slammed over the top rope onto Matt. When they follow the Bucks outside, they eat Superkicks #1 and #2. This doesn't bother War Machine, as they toss the Bucks into each other.

Superkicks #3 and #4 to Rowe and Hansen outside set up a swanton off of the apron, as the crowd goes nuts. Hansen is alone inside and gets double teamed by the Bucks, as they land a splash/Moonsault combo. Hansen gets up, and doesn't seem hurt in the least. He clotheslines both of the Jacksons to the mat, only to get Superkicks #5 and #6. Nick Jackson appears to injure his ankle, and we go to commercial.
