This guy attempts a flying crossbody from the top rope but Daivari easily evades it. Hammerlock-lariat and this bout also ends quickly.

Jason Kane is next. He flies into the ring and rocks Daivari with a lariat. Daivari is stunned. Kane follows up with a running chop and attempts a springboard maneuver...Daivari counters and takes Kane down with a uranagi. Cover...only two. Daivari yells at the referee for counting slow.
