1. PJ Black def. Sexy Star-DQ.
2. Son of Havoc def. Son of Madness.
3. Prince Puma def. Ricky Mandel.
4. Dante Fox def. El Dragon Azteca, Jr..
The last 4 1st round matches in the Cueto Cup. But first, we get a little backstory on Dante Fox & Killshot, as we get a flashback to when Fox was in Afghanistan. Now you know why he hates Killshot. He was left behind.....
1. P. J. Black vs. Sexy Star.
The mission statement of Worldwide Underground, aside from Taya's win over Joey Ryan, seems to be to screw over anyone who has had issues with Johnny Mundo in the past, so if I'm Mack or Prince Puma, I'd worry. Pretty even match until Taya comes down and, while distracting the ref, throws a set of brass knux to Black, who doesn't need them. Remember, Mundo used the knux to beat Sexy twice. Sexy, though, gets to the knux, but gets caught and DQ'd. The ref should've figured out that Taya wasn't there at the start, and done the math.
Winner (though he really isn't): P. J. Black.
2. Son of Havoc vs. Son of Madness.
Surprised this wasn't the main event, given that SOM made his debut in Dario's office just last week. Seems to be an issue about the biker club these two belonged to. SOM is a taller doppleganger for SOH, but not accustomed to the temple. He tried a leveraged aided schoolboy for 2, but then SOH turns that around and gets the 3.
Winner: Son of Havoc.
Post-match, Son of Madness ambushed Havoc and left with Havoc's colors.
3. Ricky Mandel vs. Prince Puma.
Mandel, the Mundo wanna-be, is billed as an intern for Worldwide Underground. I guess that is WU's parlance for jobber, which he's always been. He tried mimicking Mundo on the stick, and that failed, badly. Puma destroyed him, finishing him with a spinning Michinoku Driver.
Winner: Prince Puma.
El Dragon Azteca Jr. has the main event. Rey Mysterio, Jr. joins him. Puma and Azteca both warn that if Rey beats Mundo, they're coming after him. Well, they're not alone.......
4. El Dragon Azteca, Jr. (w/Rey Mysterio) vs. Dante Fox.
Half expected a Killshot run-in after Fox's distraction cost him last week, but no. Instead, WU comes back in force and gang-mugs Rey. Azteca does a suicide dive to save, but walks right into the Fox Catcher.
Winner: Dante Fox.
