Austin Aries says EC3 has a good chance to advance because he’s stealing his style and has Tyrus. Mr. Anderson says Lashley advances because no explanation necessary. Lashley says Anderson and him have had many wars and will fight again. Ethan Carter III has a hard query to decipher… he puts over all three opponents kind of, and then says he will clone himself to join himself in the next round.

Austin Aries vs Mr. Anderson

World Title Series Match – Group Champions

Lockup to start, Aries with the hammerlock taken into the head, thrown off and a shoulder from Anderson to knock down Aries, hiptoss reversed and a dropkick from Anderson to register a one count. The fans are split, we have the locku, takedown and swim around into the standing grapple. Split Screen time as Anderson details he and Aries traveling through snow-covered roads to earn their way in, completely confusing Ethan Carter III who doesn’t know what independents are. The other three mock him for getting a free pass. Aries ducks the charge to send Anderson over the side, slams him off the ropes and as Anderson comes in Aries dives off with the missile but gets thrown away to crash and burn.

Heading to the ring with the arrival of the Champ and Mandrews!

Tigre Uno vs Mandrews

World Title Series Match – Group X-Division

Mandrews gets a chant early on as Tigre takes the leg, Mandrews complaining as Uno has the legs tied and goes for the bow and arrow but Mandrews takes him down and wraps the ankle. Roll from the Champ as Mandrews surprised and both up to a vertical base. Waistlock reversed by Mandrews then Uno, arm trap under to send the man on his shoulders, Uno reverses to bridge and cover, two counts each, cruiserweight special combo five with none of them gaining a three. Thank you Smackdown vs RAW. Mandrews fist bumps, for the fingers, Uno locks and Mandrews swings to headlock, leapfrogs, back under, and takes a chop for his theatrics!

Uno slams the chop in the corner, headlock on the Brit, tripped as Mandrews jumps on him and a standing surfboard taunt before hitting a Standing Moonsault! Mandrews preparing to run and hit the corner dropkick to the seated Champ! Cover gets a two.

Mandrews looking good as Uno kicks him away, wraps the arm around and pulls the legs, the Champ has the man trapped with an elevated Indian Gutwrench Submission! Gutwrench up and down into the Powerbomb! Tigre to the top and LEGDROP OFF THE TOP!! Mandrews to the outside as Uno to the fans- and runs to jam the leaping Baseball slide! Mandrews sent back in and Uno for the cover no a two count only.

Tigre misses the flying dropkick but Mandrews too hurt to capitalize! Uno runs and comes back into a standing dropkick! Uno slips outside! Mandrews signaling- off the ropes and SOMERSAULT PLANCHA TO THE OUTSIDE!!

Mandrews to the fans on the apron, climbs to the top rope and surf taunts again, SHOOTING STAR MISSES! Landed on his feet and Uno with the waistlock pickup to turn the man around and German SUPLEX Into the buckles! SPLIT LEGGED MOONSAULT and that will do it!

OFFICIAL RESULT: Tigre Uno at 6:47, Split Legged Moonsault

Earlier tonight they show Austin Aries defeating Mr. Anderson with the Super Brainbuster! Anderson cannot move on but he can play spoiler. We go to Austin Aries for comments. Aries with Thea say that first they drew with Carter but he’d beat him if they went longer. And he fought a tough battle against a fellow Wisconsin native in Anderson. Aries talks about how he stays motivated and he says he demands it from himself. He’s his biggest fan, and his harshest critic. If he needed any extra edge to dig deep and come out victorious all he needs is Thea Trinidad to prove he won’t give up.

Josh and Pope go over the fact that Austin is now at the top of his group and Anderson is all but eliminated if Lashley defeats EC3.

Reby Sky hands him their son Maxwell and enters as Hardy brings his dad Gilbert into the ring, and the whole family celebrates as Carter leaves defeated. Carter screams at Dixie and Big, shoving John Gaburick over a table before shouting his Aunt is dead to him and leaving.

They go to Ethan Carter III backstage now as he talks about the travesty. He says what hurt the most is he thought he was in a company that wanted him to succeed. He thought his family was in his corner, but he doesn’t. So he does this for himself. You say his back is up against the wall and that makes him LETHAL. That makes him on the verge of frenzy. That makes him an animal! Lashley the World Title Series is not over until he wins.

Josh and Pope talk about how Group Play works in to become Single Elimination. Josh talks about if you have an advantage perhaps it’s smart to take off. Pope says there’s no time it’s full steam ahead. Josh says is there a group of death, where whoever comes out is sure to win.

Carter rolls from the ring as Lashley makes his entrance, staring daggers on the floor. Tyrus is nearby but Carter doesn’t care, as Tyrus has a shot at the Champ in the future. Lashley is ready to go as Ethan rolls back in. The fans chant for both as Lashley and Carter lock up but both men are in the corner, Ethan calling for Referee Earl Hebner to separate them. Ethan goes to the outside as Lashley waits patiently for Carter to reenter.
