Albright thanked Colt Cabana who walked up and said Albright was too serious, but that he would have his back. Cabana finished the promo adding, “Who throws a shoe, really?”
Necro Butcher & Delirious defeated Jimmy Jacobs & Brodie Lee. Lots of sloppy brawling here. The finish saw Jimmy Jacobs put tacks over the ring and Necro Butcher walked right over them. Butcher then slammed Lee on the tacks and Delrious hit the Shadows Over Hell for the win.
