The bell rings, and it looks like Epico and Bourne will be kicking things off. Epico goes for a quick pin but he can't get three. Bourne rolls up Epico quickly in response. We get another quick roll up from Bourne for another two count. Bourne hits a hurricarana and tags out to Kofi. Bourne and Kofi hit a double leap frog before Kofi hits Epico with a big dropkick. Epico is able to make the tag to Primo and Kofi hits both men with a big dropkick that's good for a near fall.
Primo is able to get a couple of nice shots in, but when he tries for a monkey flip, Kofi lands on his feet and responds with a monkey flip of his own for another near fall. Bourne tags in and hits an assisted hurricarana on Primo before Primo is able to make the tag. Bourne tries to hit a springboard cross body, but he's caught by Primo and Epico and thrown to the outside. Bourne is thrown back into the ring for another quick two count. Primo makes the tag and he comes in to stomp away at Bourne for a bit. Quick tags and both men lay in the boots on Bourne.
Primo gets another near fall and Evan tries to make it to his corner, but Primo locks in a front face lock to prevent it. Bourne lays in with a couple of nasty kicks, but he still can't make the tag as Primo slams him back into his own corner, and tags out to Epico who hits a big dropkick on Bourne for another near fall. Bourne continues to try and fight back with kicks to Epico, but he's caught by a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
Epico hits a belly to back suplex, then another, then a German suplex and pins Evan for a two count. Epico gets Bourne in the Gory special, trying to wear Bourne down, but Evan reverses into a roll up for two. Bourne continues the assault, jumping up in the air and coming down with his knees on Epico's shoulders. Both men make the tag and Kofi comes in as a house of fire, hitting Primo with a big dropkick and knocking Epico from the apron before laying out Primo and hitting the boom drop. Kofi sets up for the trouble in paradise, but Primo sees it coming and backs away. Kofi hits a beautiful run up cross body from the top. Bourne goes to the top and leaps to the outside on top of Epico. Back in the ring, Kofi surprises Primo with the Trouble in Paradise, and Primo goes down for the three count.
