1. Ring of Honor 6-man titles: The Kingdom vs. the Rebellion.
Color analyst: Dalton Castle.
Two heel teams meet in the opener, but misfortune strikes the challengers early, as Rhett Titus, who has had injury issues in the past, appears to have injured either an ACL or MCL ligament in his knee, and is removed during the commercial break. That forces Caprice Coleman & Kenny King into a face-in-peril situation, going 2-on-3 against the champs. Surprisingly, Lio Rush, whom the Rebellion have harrassed of late, comes out to replace Titus, and it looks like the Rebellion has a chance. However, when King is tagged in, Rush turns on him with a Diamond Cutter, and stands there in the background as the champs hit Super Nova (running triple powerbomb) on King for the finish.
Winners: The Kingdom.
With Kingdom co-founders Mike & Maria Bennett having left Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA), what are the chances that they return and feud over the Kingdom name?
2. Top Prospect tournament, 1st round: Brian Milonas vs. Raphael King.
Color analyst: Brutal Bob Evans.
Short, but hardly sweet. Raphael, accompanied by his wife, is following Jesse Godderz's career path, as he comes from the CBS reality series, "Big Brother", as Godderz did before him. Unfortunately, it's not a night be a King. Milonas is nearly 400 pounds, and there's nothing that covers up the fact that he isn't as agile as they'd like you to believe, especially with the weakest senton splash on record.
Winner: Brian Milonas.
3. Bullet Club (Adam Cole, Cody, & the Young Bucks) vs. Bobby Fish, Jay Lethal, & the Briscoes.
Color analyst: Christopher Daniels.
This took up the 2nd half of the show, with 3 commercial breaks total. Cody, doing anything to avoid Lethal like the plague, pulled Fish into the path of a suicide dive on the floor. Fish confronted Lethal soon after, and the two brawled to the back, leaving the Briscoes all alone. Not good. Mark ended up eating the pin after the Last Shot.
Winners: The Bullet Club.
Post-match, Cole was left alone to soak in the adulation of his brainwashed fans. Daniels left the desk to confront him. The two took to fighting, and when Cole got the advantage, Frankie Kazarian came down----only to turn on Daniels by joining Bullet Club. Daniels was left lying after a double superkick, and Bullet Club did a 5-man too sweet over him to end the show.
