Joe Wheeler interviews Lawrence, Lord Murphy, Jeff Murphy and Mike Mann. Murphy says the king is dead and said he did what he said he would do against Beau James. He said Beau tried to impose his will on him and make it as difficult as possible. He said we will never have to worry about him again.

PD Hogg vs Alex Adkins vs Trey Chaos

Trey is huge and just dwarfs everyone. Alex is the son of a wrestler named Wayne Adkins. Alex is double teamed to start. He shoves both guys then PD splashes him in the corner. Trey running back elbows him in the corner. PD charges at Alex but Trey turns on him with a lariat. Alex hits punches on Trey. Trey neckbreakers him then PD lariats Trey.

PD chops Trey down then steps on his chest. Alex suplexes PD for 2. Alex hits a big chop on PD then takes a knee from Trey. Trey running euros PD. Alex forearms Trey then flying shoulders him. PD slams Alex then hits a legdrop for 2. Trey kicks Alex in the head for 2.

PD hits shots on Trey then clubs him. PD lariats Trey then Alex superkicks PD. Alex is caught up top. Trey snapmares PD then 2nd rope dropkicks him. Alex breaks up the pin attempt with a 2nd rope swanton bomb. Serenity gets on the apron as PD spinebusters Alex. PD argues with Serenity. Trey barely hits his big boot and pins him. Trey things he has it won and the announcer thinks so too then Alex rolls up Trey and wins it.

Thoughts: Things were going okay until the finish. I don't know what happened here as Trey was announced as the winner then Alex pinned him.. Trey also missed his big boot finisher and PD had to sell it anyway which made it worse.

Overall thoughts: I liked the first match but the second match had a double botched finish that ruined the match. It wasn't a bad half-hour of wrestling but I wouldn't quite recommend it.
