Dante tries for a sunset flip, but Mox stays on his feet and tags in Bryan who gets a massive series of kick on Dante in the corner. He whips Dante to the opposite corner and starts with chops and kicks. He takes Dante to the top and gets a series of ten blows and then hits a Hurricanrana from top.

Everyone goes to the outside and they brawl around the ring.

He then gets in a series of blows on Dante before releasing it and tagging in Mox, who works kicks. Mox puts Dante on the top and hits a super plex and two count, and then moves to an arm bar.

He and Dante then trade quick two counts after big moves fast that I can write it up. Darius is tagged in as is Bryan and they have a fast sequence of flying attacks on Mox and Bryan. Bryan is able to get the stomps, wraps up the Regal lock, but Darius was knocked out.
