MJF Vs. Daniel Garcia

Garcia jumped MJF during the entrance. Garcia had a bandage over his head which became a target for MJF later on in the match. Garcia was busted wide open several minutes into the match. 

MJF targeted the neck after his original attack on Garcia. Garcia fought hard like a really good underdog babyface. MJF thumbed Garcia in the eye right in front of the referee. He set up the brainbuster, but Garcia stopped him with a punch. MJF tried to grab the ropes on a pinfall attempt. They traded German suplexes. 

They traded crossfaces until Garcia put on a Sharpshooter. He fell back too far and MJF grabbed his arm and put him in an armbar. And then he put him ZSJ's Clarky Cat. Garcia's free leg caught the ropes to break it up. Garcia hit a jumping piledriver for a two count. MJF gave him a low blow and rolled him up for the heel win.

Winner: MJF

MJF tried to pretend shake Garcia's hand and then Garcia caught onto the act and hit the pildriver from the top rope.

Claudio Castignoli & Wheeler Yuta vs. The Young Bucks

They started the match with a little bit of humor which allowed the announcers to talk about the undercarriage of Matt Jackson.

Really good action and much more of a classic Young Bucks match with lots of really good nearfalls. 

They hit the EVP Trigger on Claudio and Yuta saved him. They pumped up their shoes to hit a double super kick and went for another EVP Trigger that Claudio caught. They tried to double suplex him, but he suplexed them both instead. 

Claudio put Matt in the Giant Swing and then just dropped him and got a two count. 

Matt and Yuta were on the top rope. Claudio gave Matt a superplex and Yuta came off the top rope for the big splash, but Matt got his knees up and cradled him for the win. 

It felt like the Young Bucks were back during this match and I haven't felt that way in a while. Good stuff.

Winner: The Young Bucks

Will Ospreay Vs. PAC

Crowd was very into this match before it even started. Ricochet was watching backstage. 

Lots of great action early on from both guys, but the turning point of the match was PAC doing a moonsault off the top rope, but Ospreay caught him and was going to do a Death Valley Driver, but PAC turned it into a DDT.

In a scary spot, they were on the apron outside the ring and PAC dropped Will right on the back of his head with a German. And then he did a poisonrana in the same spot on the apron. PAC threw him back into the ring and put him in the Brutalizer. 

PAC was on the top rope and went for the Black Arrow. Will got his knees up and cradled him, just like Matt Jackson did in the match before and got a two count. PAC won't let him breath. He hits one insane move and then it's back to the Brutalizer. 

PAC went to the well one too many times. He went for a poisonrana but Will blocked it and hit one of his own for a two count. PAC went for a poisonrana from the top rope but Will flipped over and landed on his feet. He followed up with a Hidden Blade and PAC made a great kick out. Ospreay hit a cutter and then went for the Stormbreaker that PAC reversed. Ospreay then hit the Styles Clash and another Hidden Blade for the win.

Winner: Will Osreay

That was a match of the year candidate. 

 

Kris Statlander Vs. Willow Nightingale

They aren't dressed for a street fight necessarily. But they are fighting like it.

Statlander came off the top to the outside and through a table as Willow moved out of the way. But her legs clipped Willow on the back of the head and sort of DDT'd her head to the floor on the outside. 

Willow pounced her through the barricade. They went to get the plunder on the outside and Willow hit Statlander in the head. Statlander was busted open. Statlander speared Willow from the stage to the floor through some tables. 

Back inside the ring, they brought in the thumb tacks. Stat went for her axe kick and missed, which caused her to splat on the tacks in splits pose. Willow gave her a DVD on the tacks for a two count. 

Statlander hit a Spanish Fly off the top rope and then hit a lariat with a chain wrapped around her arm for a two count. 

Statlander gave her a tombstone piledriver and then used the chain to pull her head back. The referee called for the bell. 

Winner: Kris Statlander

Kudos to both women for going for it. They didn't hold back. Great stuff. 

Orange Cassidy Vs. Takeshita Vs. Mark Briscoe Vs. Kazuchika Okada

Okada and OC paired off to start and then Takeshita and Briscoe did. Briscoe and OC hit the Mick Foley "Bang, bang" elbows to the outside from the apron on Takeshita and Okada.

Briscoe and OC had a friendly back and forth, but then it turned into a battle. Then Okada and Takeshita went toe-to-toe in the center of the ring. Okada hit the drop kick and then went for the Rainmaker, but Takeshita ducked it and hit the Blue Thunder bomb. 

Takeshita hit a great superplex on OC, but then Briscoe followed up with a froggy-splash style elbow on Takeshita. Then Okada hit his elbow drop on Briscoe. 

OC went for his Superman punch, but Takeshita beat him to it. Okada hit the Rainmaker on Briscoe and then hit it on OC to win the match.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada

Hikaru Shida Vs. Mercedes Mone

This is the most heelish that Mercedes has wrestled so far. After a night of high spots and big moves, Mercedes and Shida are doing a slower match with Mercedes taking much of the first part of the match.

Shida threw Mercedes into the corner and threw a dropkick off the middle rope. She hit punches in the corner but then Mercedes reversed it into a crossface. This might be the third match with a crossface. 

Mercedes hit a powerbomb-type move in the corner and then hit the knees in the corner. Mercedes hit three suplexes in a row. Shida did three suplexes of her own. Shida drilled with her finisher three times and Mercedes kicked out before two. Shida hesitated hitting Mercedes with the kendo stick and Mercedes hit her finisher and got the win.

Winner: Mercedes Mone

Jack Perry Vs. Bryan Danielson

Perry walked down the aisle with The Young Bucks. 

Jim Ross joined the call and very much understands the game of no one believing Jack Perry can win. He said that Danielson was starting slow and the match had barely started.

The biggest move early in the match was Danielson with a back suplex off the top rope. Perry finally got control of the match and did back to back dragon suplexes on the back of Danielson's neck.

They were teasing some stuff on the side of the apron and Danielson threw Perry off the apron with a butterfly suplex. 

Danielson went for the flying knee but Perry caught his leg and put Danielson in the snare trap. 

There was a ref bump and Danielson hit a suplex on Perry. The Bucks came in and hit the TK Driver on Danielson before Claudio and Wheeler ran them off. Perry hit the running knee for a two count.

Danielson hit the flying knee. They were on their knees with striking and then on their feet. Danielson's right arm went out on him. Perry slapped him in the face and Danielson stopped selling. He then threw several more before Danielson fired back. Perry missed a knee in the corner and then Danielson hit his flying knee that looked to be the finisher but Perry kicked out. 

Danielson hit the foot stomps on a defenseless Perry and went back to the corner to hit another knee. Perry got to his knees and posed and ate the knee. Danielson pinned him. 

Winner: Bryan Danielson

Not surprising, but that was Perry's best match of his career.

Killswitch came out and head butted Danielson. Christian's music played. He walked out. Jon Moxley showed up and stopped him from entering. Claudio, Wheeler, and PAC showed up as well and Christian walked back. 

They celebrated in the ring and Claudio gave Danielson an uppercut. Moxley had a plastic bag and placed it over Danielson's head. Marina Shafir showed up. Wheeler doesn't seem to be in on it. PAC was holding him away and he was crying.

The medical team came out and gave Danielson oxygen and then carried him to the back. 

Adam "Hangman" Page Vs. Swerve Strickland

Swerve jumpstarted the match with a flying kick in the corner before the cage came down. Swerve tried to get the cage to drop down on Hangman's face. Hangman tried to do the same to Swerve and Prince Nana pushed them both inside the ring. 

Hangman pulled out the staple gun and started stapling Swerve's chest. Swerve no sold it and then stole the gun and used it on Hangman. Swerve had his family photo and stapled it to Hangman's chest. He stapled another photo to his cheek. 

They've also busted out the barbed-wire and both men are opened up. Hangman tried for the Buckshot Lariat but realized that because of the cage, he didn't have a lot of space. 

Hangman went to get a chair, but for some reason, the referee stopped him which let Swerve get back on offense. Swerve got a cinderblock and they fought for position, but Swerve back dropped him on the edge of the block. Swerve stomped him from the top rope through the table. Swerve went for his kick and Hangman put him in the deadeye.

Hangman had a piece of wood with a point on the end and he went after Swerve's eye but Swerve got it from him and hit him in the forehead with it. Hangman powerbombed him on the cinderblock. 

Swerve hit the house call kick on Hangman whose head was right up against the cage. Then he did it again for a two count. Hangman hit a powerbomb off the top rope. He then did the deadeye for a two count. Hangman was calling for Swerve to beg and then kept drilling him with the side of the chair. Swerve got up smiling before collapsing. 

Hangman pulled out a needle and stuck it in his cheek before hitting him with a chair and the referee stopped it. 

Winner: Hangman Page
