From Philadelphia:
1. Kushida vs. Matt Sydal.
Kushida, 1/2 of the Time Splitters, goes it alone in this one. No sign of tag partner Alex Shelley. Awesome opener. Each began working on the other's body parts. Sydal uncharacteristically went for the legs, but paid a price as he injured his arm. He hit a standing moonsault, but Kushida got the knees up at the last possible second. It finally came down to the Shooting Star Press. Sydal missed on the first try, but then nailed the second attempt.
Winner: Matt Sydal.
2. Adam Page (w/BJ Whitmer & Colby Corino) vs. Will Ferrara vs. Takaki Watanabe vs. Moose (w/Stokely Hathaway).
Whitmer was in the midst of cutting a promo as we came back from break. Fortunately, Ferrara's entrance music put a stop to that. Whitmer otherwise was a non-factor, and should be a no-show with his injury. Colby tried distracting Moose. Good luck with that. Moose knocked him off the apron, and ultimately speared Page halfway to Wilkes-Barre. So much for the Decade. Watanabe did his Brock Lesnar impersonation and took Ferrara and Moose to Suplex City, and ultimately pinned Ferrara.
Winner: Takaki Watanabe.
Clips were shown of Bob Evans and his new protege, GNH Hughes, attacking Cheeseburger. However, WWE Hall of Famer Luke Williams, billed as "The Original Sheepherder", came down, doing the Bushwhacker Bounce, and made the save. Hughes ate a battering ram. Williams & Cheeseburger did the Bushwhacker Bounce to a big pop. Williams was briefly interviewed by Kevin Kelly after.
3. Adam Cole vs. Shinsuke Nakamura.
Kelly & Steve Corino, now joined by Nigel McGuinness, referenced the actions of Cole at All-Star Extravaganza, which Corino described as unprofessional. I think we'll eventually see it on TV. This was designed to get Cole over as the heel in this match. Cole hit the figure four, but Nakamura eventually made the ropes, second rope break of the match. Nakamura shook off the pain in the knee, and rallied. Hit the Landslide (modified Falcon Arrow), then a knockout knee to the head.
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura.
Next week: Highlights from August's Field of Honor in Brooklyn.
