CM Punk vs. Dustin Rhodes

The two men shake hands to get things started, showcasing respect towards each other, and then they lock up. Dustin Rhodes then gets the better of the situation to start things off with a shoulder tackle, and a hip toss. CM Punk gets back into things himself, but it doesn't take long for the veteran to slow things down with a few more hip tosses.

Punk manages to dump Dustin out of the ring by diving to the leg of his opponent, which leads to Rhodes spilling out of the ring. Inside the ring, Punk begins to target the knee of Dustin, stomping down on it while the leg is propped up on the bottom rope. Rhodes then picks up the pace with a few shots, but then Dustin's leg gives up on him as he tries to lift up Punk.

The bodyslam doesn't work and Punk drops back down to him. CM Punk then mocks the Goldust pose, which leads to a few more punches by Dustin. He looks for a roll-up, but Punk kicks out and then gets hit by a lariat. Punk then once again focuses on the leg, dropping down with an elbow to the area.

Punk gets dumped outside, but as Dustin looks to continue the attack, Punk swipes the leg of Rhodes, but he responds by kicking CM Punk into the turnbuckle. He then drags down Punk face-first onto the ring apron. Back in the ring, they go back and forth until Rhodes hits a back body drop and then several lariats.

Dustin then hammers down some shots in the corner, but as he gets down his knee gives out again. This allows Punk to go for the knee, but Rhodes moves and then hits the Code Red, which gets a near fall! Punk looks for the GTS but Dustin fights out with the classic uppercut into the powerslam, and once again Punk has to kick out.

CM Punk then connects with a kick to the face, following with a chop block. He locks in the Figure Four straight after to keep up the pressure. They then start exchanging slaps, and Dustin turns it over but Punk gets the ropes. Rhodes then hits the Cross Rhodes followed by a Piledriver, but Punk kicks out!

Dusting then looks for the flip, flop, and fly, but Punk then stops him with a roundhouse kick. He'sunable to deliver the GTS though as Dustin counters, but as Punk lands on Rhodes, he hooks the legs and catches him with a pinfall.

However, Lance Archer slaps the money away and says he just wants to fight Wardlow.

HOOK vs. Anthony Henry

HOOK dominates, launching his opponent around the ring as Tony Nese watches on with Mark Sterling. He then hits crossfaces in the ring...but then Danhausen appears and tries to curse him. It doesn't make a difference as HOOK locks in Red Rum to get the win.

He wants Frankie to wait just a little bit longer, he promises Frankie will get the first shot. Kazarian says he has always had his back, and he always will.

- Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti are in the ring to a chorus of boos.He feels right, he's a three time champion and with the love of his life. He's going to give fans his everything, because they deserve it, those who cheer. The rest who turned their back, why? Because Conti is better looking than theirs?

Sky then appears and asks if that's how it's going to go, he's screwing the fans who got him here watching his stupid vlogs. Page tells him to shut up, as nobody came here to listen to him talk. The only reason they're not beating him up right now, is because Dan Lambert says tonight is about business.

Lambert Sammy risks it all to earn the respect of the fans, but he chose to throw it away acting like a high school douchebag. He says Sammy either gives Sky a rematch, or he will send them down to give him the pounding his girlfriend dreams about. Sammy says he will give him the rematch if they agree to the mixed tag team title bout. They agree, and Sammy then claims it'll be a ladder match.
