Christian (c)

-Vs-

Low Ki

RESULT : Christian scored the pinfall in 10:01 following a low blow behind the refs back.
Match Notes : Christian was cheered as the match started, but then as he started bending, and finally breaking the rules, Low Ki was cheered more and more. The turning point was when the ref was trying to put the  corner padding back on, Christian kicked Ki below the belt. That action set the match in his favor.

Grudge Match

Chris Jericho

-Vs-

Rhino

RESULT : As a result of King of the Ring, CPW officials set up this match, and it was a pretty good back and forth match with Rhino getting the win following a GORE in 9:15!
        Match Notes : Paul Burchill came out and distracted his 'partner' during the match. This set up the  eventual win for 'the Man Beast'. After the match, Paul took the mic and said that it was true, what Chris said at King of the Ring (he wasn't ready to wrestle), but that he WAS in the arena, just not able to get out of the room that Jericho had locked him in! Chris has orchestrated his 'absence' from the show by attacking him and locking him in basement utility closet.

Edge came out and said that through out August, CPW stars would be qualifying for a spot in the first Elimination Chamber match in CPW history for the CPW Championship. The Champion, who ever it was on the 17th of August was guaranteed to be in the match, but not guaranteed to walk out as champion at No Escape!

Dolph Ziggler

-Vs-

Corey Graves

RESULT : Dolph made his CPW return and out wrestled the debuting Cory Graves en route to a victory in 7:45.
         Match Notes : Dolph look good... Very good in this match, as did the young Graves. In all fairness, it could have gone either way, but Graves made one error too many, and Dolph capitalized with the Zig Zagg for the win

Rob Van Dam

-Vs-

Roman Reigns

RESULT : Roman Reigns made a successful debut over RVD in a very physical match that ended after 6:25 of action and the interference of Damian Sandow.
        Match Notes : After Sandown cost RVD the match, he offered to shake Reigns' hand and form an 'alliance' of sorts. Roman, at first refused the offer, then Sandow slapped him. Rather than run in fear, Sandown again stuck out his hand to offer Reigns a hand shake. Reigns Speared the TV Champ instead! As Sandown somehow was able to get to his feet, Roman hit his with his Superman punch and the fans flipped out!!

Damian Sandow (c)

-Vs-

AJ Styles

RESULT : AJ didn't take advantage of Sandow's issues and this match was not started.
        Match Notes : With the beating that Sandow just took, AJ said he was not about to win the championship in such a way. He said he would put off the match until next week, to allow Sandow a fighting chance. But that should Sandow get himself into another 'situation' he would not be so accommodating to the champion.

The New Breed
Richie Steamboat/Sim Snuka w/Sting

-Vs-

Kofi Kingston / Evan Bourne

RESULT : This match fought to a double pin in 16:25 when Kofi pinned Steamboat and Snuka pinned Bourne at the same time.
