Blood and Guts: The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Santana, Ortiz & Jake Hager) vs. The Pinnacle (MJF, Wardlow, Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood & Wardlow) w/Tully Blanchard
As a reminder, the Pinnacle will have the man advantage. Sammy Guevara gave that to them last week. Tully is wearing a white suit. Surreal to see Tully here, seeing as how he was in WarGames 1 in 1987. The Inner Circle are dressed in uniform ala prison jumpsuits from Rikers Island. This, I believe, will be Jericho's first foray into this type of match.
Guevara and Dax Harwood kick us off. Sammy leaps over the ropes and nails a Pele kick and goes to work. Dax slaps a headlock. Sammy whips him off and nails a dropkick. Sammy goes for a cross body and Dax hits a perfect spinebuster. Instinctively he goes for a pin. It's a chop exchange. Sammy sends Dax into the buckles 10 times and sends Dax's head into the cage.

Santana is in next and nails Cash with a unanage as we go to commercial. In picture and picture, Spears is chopping away at Guevara. Wardlow now enters the match. Our team captains will be coming in last it seems. Wardlow wants the entore Inner Circle to try him. They surround him and pounce but Wardlow pounds them down with forearms. Guevara jumps on Wardow's back. wardlow sends Guevara into the cage as Jake Hager comes in next. Hager's on the attack. The announcers applaud his strategy, lamenting why Wardlow didn't do the same. Now they square off. Cash is bloodied up now. That parental warning was a good idea. The mat is bloody.
MJF is the final entrant for the Pinnacle. Wardlow chop blocks Hager and MJF preens to the crowd and starts yelling at Jericho. Wardlow stomps down on Hager. Wheeler is in bad shape. The final entrant for the IC, Jericho enters as both teams happen to be in opposite rings. They charge each other and fire away. Jericho with Floyd the baseball bat, he swings away and connects. Spears climbs the cage and Jericho chokes him as we go to commercial.
We're back and the ring has been pulled up, exposing the wood. Proud and Powerful execute spike piledrivers on FTR, with the assist from Guevara. Guevara nails a Van Terminator on Spears. The turnbuckle clamp has been removed. Santana has a fork and drives it into the bloody mess that is now MJF. Jericho with a baseball bat assisted chinlock on Wardlow.
