Sammy counters into a knee strike and go to sleep for the win. Sammy Guevara defeated Matt Sells @ 5:30 via pin [**¼] A fine win and showcase for Sammy to put his douchey side on display.

Shawn Spears vs. Shawn Dean: No Tully tonight. They lockup and Spears takes early control, grounding things. They work into counters as Spears maintains control and mocks Dean. Dean fires back, delivers kicks but is quickly cut off with a clothesline. Spears chokes him out and follows with a belly to back suplex. The C4 finishes it. Shawn Spears defeated Shawn Dean @ 3:45 via pin [**] A fine won for Spears ahead of the tournament.
Darby Allin vs. Preston Vance: Vance immediately attacks with a German and then works over Allin on the floor. Allin battles back, posts Vance and back in, Allin is caught and slammed to the mat. Allin fires back, but is quickly cut off with kicks. Vance follows with strikes, Allin dumps him and follows with the suicide dive. Back in and the springboard moonsault oppress gets 2. Allin lights him up, hits code red and that gets 2. Vance counters back into a cutter and another for 2. Allin counters the suplex, and the stunner follows. The coffin drop finishes it. Darby Allin defeated Preston Vance @ 5:20 via pin [**¾] This was solid and fun.
