– Sami & oVe cut a promo and want you to get the show trending. His boys will win the tag team open, and get their gold back. Tonight. Fulton will destroy Tessa and he will defeat Shamrock in a dream match. He respects Shamrock, but he’s old and can’t hang with him.

– Mitchell is with Suzie, and she teases hanging herself and has flashbacks. Mitchell warns her about Rosemary and says she can only trust him.
– Gaby interviews Elgin, and Elgin says that he beat Cage, beat Edwards and is still waiting for his opportunities. He’s gone through all the rod blocks, and at hard to Kill, wants Edwards to put his title shot trophy on the line.

Fallah Bahh defeated Raj Singh @ 4:50 via pin [**] This was ok, I love Bahh and Raj was a bit better than usual.
– Raju attacks post match until TJP makes the save.
– Joey Ryan is informed that management wants to talk with him. It’s actually wrestler’s court with judge Tommy Dreamer. They play the people’s Court music and call Ryan a “famous dick wrestler.” Swinger accuses him of not being a good brother, breaking the code of the boys, and stealing his rizzats. He’s seeking two pay envelopes and a bag of pizzillz. This takes place in the bathroom and they make Joseph Park & AXS TV money jokes. D’Lo testifies, after swearing in on a PWI 500, since it’s gospel. D’Lo talks about how you can’t do wrestler’s court on bigger companies, and he’s happy to be here.

Swinger calls bullshit and Dreamer sentences him to face Acey Romero next week.
Tag Team Open: Rich Swann & Willie Mack vs. oVe vs. The Rascalz vs. Reno Scum: This is one fall and no tags needed, so a giant tornado tag. They all brawl at the bell, Scum gets dumped and the Rascalz hit dives. Jake hits a suicide DDT and Dave is dumped. Mack & Swann double tam Luster and then Adam, covering for 2. Mack works over Jake, and the standing moonsault gets 2. Mack follows with a dive, Swann dumps Dave and Mack is down holding his knee. Swann checks on him and refs and the doctor arrives.

Rich Swann & Willie Mack defeated oVe, The Rascalz, & Reno Scum @ 13:40 via pin [***] Good match, they played off the Swann run in the gauntlet as well as last week when the North praised him and tied to play mind games with Swann & Mack, and Mack gave Swann the side eye after that. It feels like they are setting up a Mack heel turn out of this, due to jealousy over Swann getting all the attention.
– Taya s not pleased about the Hard to Kill triple threat, and runs down ODB & Grace. This isn’t a fairytale, it’s real life and she will prove that at the PPV.
– Cage is interviewed and talks about his slump and losing the championship. It’s been rough but he also had his moments. Whoever is champion after Hard to Kill, he’s coming for them. He teases matches with the Rascalz, RVD, Mack, and others going forward. RVD & Katie Forbes stumble in, making out and Cage is insulted by this. RVD says Cage stole his moves but then lost to a girl. RVD & Forbes leave.
Tessa Blanchard vs. Mad Man Fulton: Tessa attacks with strikes, Fulton growls and then works her over in the corner. He follows with stomps and looks for a powerbomb, but Tessa counters into a code red and follows with a dropkick, and suicide dive. She heads up top and Fulton catches her, tosses her back in and Tessa hits a tornado DDT. Magnum is stopped by Jake for the DQ. Tessa Blanchard defeated Mad Man Fulton @ 3:00 via DQ [NR] It existed as a setup to weaken Tessa, and was Ok in that regard. But Callis also needs to reign in his commentary, and needs to stop with the “oh my god, we need to stop this” bullshit, portraying Tessa as a poor victim, you anointed her as your top contender, just call the match like any other match, because the way Callis calls things at times, it comes off as “this poor woman is completely overmatched.”
– Post match, Shamrock makes the save and takes out oVe.
Sami Callihan vs. Ken Shamrock: Sami slaps Shamrock and immediately begs off. He spits at Shamrock and Shamrock attacks Shamrock lights him up with strikes and kicks, Sami powders, Shamrock follows Sami attacks. Shamrock basically walks through his offense until Sami head butts him and slams him off a table. Shamrock cuts him off, follows with kicks and back in, Sami cuts him off, hits a DVD and covers for 2. ref bump, belly to belly by Shamrock and Sami taps to the ankle lock but no ref. Fulton lays out Shamrock and Sami gets the ankle lock and the ref waves it off. Sami Callihan defeated Ken Shamrock @ 5:40 via submission [*] It wasn’t a good match in any way, Shamrock looked gassed two-minutes in, but Sami sent his message in the end and looked like a spectacular asshole.
– Post match, Fulton kills Shamrock and dumps him to the floor with a suplex.
