LFI (Rush and Mortos) vs The Already In The Ring Alec Price and Richard Holiday
Rush and Mortos get to show how brutal they are. Holiday has some size on him, and they say he has had over 350 matches and this is another one. I hope he has won some elsewhere in the past because he was just brutalized by Rush before taking the Bull’s Horns as Rush gets the pin and the win.
Winners: LFI
Lexi is with MVP and he says he is scouting talent. He says he sees a lot of young athletes with untapped potential. Some need management and some need to be broken down so they can be rebuilt. He says Swerve Strickland is arrogant, which is his greatest weakness. He says tonight he will be watching Ricochet and Komander impressed him. He then says tomorrow, Shelton Benjamin will see what Komander is made of. Great promo.
Ricochet vs Dante Martin
This should be a fast-paced high-flier of a match.
They shake hands and then lock up and immediately go to mat work and reversals. They move to arm bars and Dante gets an arm drag. They quickly go to two counts with reversals. When they move to the floor, neither can hit dives from the apron until Dante gets a leaping knee strike.

Weird choice to have two high-fliers in the main event with 10 minute left in the show and 4 minutes of the match is picture in picture.
