Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Homicide & B-Boy versus Rashad Cameron & Kenny King
The "Strong Style Thugs" are back in action here in Liberty Pro and they get a good reaction from this Lancaster crowd. Cameron and King like to go by the team name of "Ring Royalty" and this outing they looked more like a unit, showing some solid tandem work against the much more experienced team and they, in turn, came much closer to winning this match as opposed to their sloppier previous effort against the "Canadian Cyborgs". The "Thugs" would manage to end things in impressive fashion, Homicide getting Cameron up into the Cop Killa and B-Boy coming off the top with a Double Stomp to Cameron's rear end to drive him down with even more force, ending what amounted to a perfect opener with the crowd on their feet, ready to see the rest of the show.
Jay Lethal versus Jimmy Jacobs
Jay Lethal had a Hell of a night in Hershey on the 14th when he got the deciding fall in a six man tag team match over "Forever Fallen", pinning Dean Ambrose in Ambrose's debut for Liberty Pro. Jacobs came out without any of his stablemates or distractions, and really seemed to be out to prove something to himself, this crowd, and Lethal. Jacobs managed to keep the fleet footed Lethal grounded for most of the match, working over his left arm and the crowd and the suspense just built and built as the fans became restless and ready for Lethal to change the tides. Lethal would manage to do just that, catching an on coming Jacobs with a knee to the face to counter a Spear attempt, following up with a Dropkick that sent him to the outside and then three consecutive Suicide Dives through the ropes, each one getting a bigger pop than the last as Lethal riled up this crowd.
Jacobs would manage to avoid the Flying Elbowdrop from Lethal, however, that would have spelled sure doom, and hit a DDT into a Guillotine Choke, clamping on, but the crowd willed Lethal on and Lethal refused to quit, getting to the ropes to break the hold. Jacobs would call for the end, hitting a Single Arm DDT on Lethal, further damaging the left arm before heading up top and attempting his Senton Backsplash, but Lethal got up the knees to counter it! Lethal would follow that up with his Lethal Combination, and then he headed up top, drilling Jacobs with the Flying Elbowdrop shortly after to get the three and these fans are loving it!
Lethal celebrates this victory, but it doesn't last long as Dean Ambrose makes his way out and smashes him to the back with a chair! The fans are booing this big time, but Ambrose is loving it, cracking his neck and salivating as he prepares, pointing a "finger gun" at Lethal and then rushing in, smashing him to the temple with a Knee Trembler! Jacobs and Ambrose leave from there, Jacobs not looking too pleased to have lost while Ambrose sports a sadistic smile and taunts the crowd, infuriating them even further.

Jessicka Havok with Raven versus Allysin Kay
Both of these women are hard hitters and very formidable, and with a lot of history between the two they were able to put a tough little brawl for this crowd here tonight. Havok would take direction from Raven, starting the match by sitting in the corner and then ripping into her opponent ruthlessly, gauging her eyes and really trying to make her pay as Raven looked on with a cold, dead stare, only telling her, "More!" Kay would manage to catch Havok with a boot to the face as she stormed into the corner, leading her to attempt a 10 punch combination, but Havok would reverse it, powerbombing her out of the corner and showing her power. Raven would finally yell for her to "finish it!" and Havok would oblige, lifting up Kay and dropping her with the Demon Drop to get the three count.
Raven enters the ring and does his out stretched arm pose over the fallen Kay, the fans giving a pretty positive reaction to what they saw here. Raven doesn't show any sort of amusement, but it is clear he is pleased with what he saw here in his female protege.

Chris Hero versus Johnny Gargano
Hero and Gargano came out ready for a sprint on this night, and they gave these fans very quick, lucha inspired action to get them pumped and on their feet. Gargano would be the one to slow things down, catching Hero with a Huracanrana and then tried to keep him grounded from there. Hero is a very dangerous opponent, as you really can never get him into a possession unfavorable to him. Gargano would try to use his mat prowess to work Hero over, but Hero showed that he's very sound on the mat and got himself back up to his feet in a short amount of time, leading him to start utilizing his "Knockout Artist" move set that sent Gargano reeling. Gargano would manage to avoid a Running High Kick in the corner and would attempt to deliver his Lawn Dart, but Hero would slide off his shoulder and shove him into the buckles, running and blasting him with a Rolling Elbow to the face to knock him out for the three count!
From the back comes Seth Rollins, who applauds Hero mockingly. Rollins grabs a microphone and says it doesn't matter what these people think, and it doesn't matter what Hero calls himself, Rollins says that "The Knockout Artist" is going to be the one left unconscious at "Never Ending War"! Hero slaps his elbow a few times and motions for Rollins to come in and try him, but Rollins declines, stating, "everything in due time."

Chris Dickinson, Michael Elgin, and Raymond Rowe versus Adam Cole, Solomon Crowe, and Dean Ambrose with Raven
This was a rare instance of Adam Cole getting a hugely positive ovation from the crowd, having been born here in Lancaster 25 years ago, but the love fest didn't last long for him. Cole would soon alienate the fans with arrogance and his less than noble actions throughout this match, and by the end the fans were calling for his blood.
Raven once again made his way out, this time with his male protege in Solomon Crowe. Much the same as the Havok match, the very physical and psychotic Crowe would look to Raven for direction, and Raven's direction merely lead to more violence. The team of Dickinson, Elgin, and Rowe had a lot of power and a whole lot of attitude, leading Cole, Crowe, and Ambrose to try and play a ground and contain type of game, leading Michael Elgin to take the majority of the beating in this match as he was the most eager to get in and mix it up, obviously upset about getting cheap shotted by Crowe and Raven on the 14th.
"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin looked to be in a pretty bad way as Dean Ambrose choked him against the ropes and mocked his opposition. He needed a tag bad, but it was Cole who blind tagged him self in and started mocking Dickinson specifically, taunting him to come in, leading the referee the go over and stop Dickinson from entering and leading a three-on-one assault on Elgin that had this crowd all riled up. Elgin, though, would burst and catch Ambrose with a Spinning Back Fist, leading him to pick up Cole on his shoulders and then scoop up Crowe, hitting a Samoan Drop/Fallaway Slam combination to get this crowd on their feet and cheering!
Elgin would dive and tag in both Dickinson and Rowe simultaneously and this match became pure chaos from there! The rules went out the window and all bets were off! Cole would see Dickinson and turn and hit the floor, not wanting to tangle with the "Original Death Machine" at that moment. Raven would trip up Dickinson as he ran off the ropes, maybe looking to dive, and Crowe would slide in and catch him with a Lariat! Crowe would proceed to attempt a Headlock Driver, but Dickinson would reverse it and catch him with the Braineater to a huge pop! Amrbose would make his way in, however, and catch Dickinson with the Knee Trembler to send him under the ropes, knocked completely silly!
From the back would come Jessicka Havok and she was holding a chair. Elgin looked to get back into the match, getting up on the apron, but Havok would grab a chair and smash him to the back with it! Elgin would drop to a knee and Havok would reel back, looking to do it again as the ref's back was turned, but someone from the crowd actually grabs a hold of it and stops her from swinging... it's MsChif! MsChif, who happens to Elgin's wife, pulls Havok in and these two ladies are rolling and fighting on the floor to cat calls from the crowd! Joey Styles can be heard yelling, "CAT FIGHT! CAT FIGHT!" in his high falsetto as these fans go crazy. Raven walks over to try and break things up, but he gets grabbed by Raymond Rowe and tossed into the crowd!
Amrbose tries to pull Elgin back into the ring with a Suplex, but Elgin blocks it and lifts him up, stalling and holding him before delivering a huge Falcon Arrow off the apron! Dickinson is being stomped on by Cole on the outside at this point, and "The One" decides that while Elgin is on the outside and Crowe is on the inside, it'd be best to get Dickinson back in the ring and try to finish things. Crowe and Rowe begin to fight near the apron as Dickinson tries to get back to his feet in the ring and Cole is on the middle turnbuckle, measuring him up... he comes off and delivers the Panama Sunrise! Dickinson is destroyed with that Flip Piledriver variation! Cole attempts to get the win after that, but Rowe manages to break it up after getting the better of Crowe!
Cole is up and staggering and Elgin is back in it. Cole stumbles and is caught right in the arms of Elgin, who spins him with a Swinging Side Slam! Raven is pulling himself up in the crowd now and Havok has managed to get the better of MsChif. Elgin is looking like he's about to hit the Revolution Elgin Bomb on Crowe on the inside, so Raven yells at Havok to get in there! Havok does just that, getting into the ring and low blowing Elgin as he gets Crowe up, stopping him dead in his tracks and the referee has seen and had enough! He calls for the bell!
MsChif slaps the taste out of Raven's mouth on the outside and she heads into the ring after Havok! These ladies go toe-to-toe again! Steve Corino makes his way out now and he looks to try and get Adam Cole out of there before he takes any more damage. And more damage looked to be coming as Rowe and Dickinson managed to clear out Crowe, Ambrose, and MsChif stomped Havok from the ring, leaving Cole alone with Dickinson, Rowe, Elgin, and MsChif is a scary situation for "The One". Dickinson grabs the groggy and disoriented Cole from behind and looks to deliver the Braineater as these fans chanted him on, but Corino would slide in and grab Cole by the arm, yanking him away from Dickinson's clutches and pulling him outside to safety! That was a very close call for Cole, who looks like he just saw his life flash before his eyes as his homecoming looked like it might come to a very unhappy end.
Dickinson gets on the ropes, pointing and yelling profanities at Cole and Corino, leading Rowe and Elgin to get on the buckles and do much the same as their opponents cower in retreat and these fans and MsChif applaud the efforts of the "good guys" on this night.

Kyle O'Reilly versus Roderick Strong
The challenge for this rematch from July 29th was laid down on the 14th by Strong, who looked to avenge his singles loss to O'Reilly after he and Johnny Gargano lost a tag team match to O'Reilly and his "Red Dragon" partner, Bobby Fish, in Hershey. This match was much the same as the one on the 29th, as these guys went to the mat and tried to break each other down in a game of human chess. Strong looked really desperate to get a win here, and you could feel his urgency as he tried time and again to put O'Reilly shoulders to the mat and, in other instances, make him submit, but O'Reilly just would not stay down.
The fans would chant them on with phrases like "This is Awesome!" and "This is Wrestling!" really appreciating what they were seeing here, and it really was a great display. O'Reilly would keep trying to latch on with his Cross Armbar, but Strong would show his poise and experience by never allowing himself to be put into the optimal position for the hold, always breaking the leverage point or getting to the ropes.
O'Reilly looked like he might have the match won by pinfall after delivering some elbows and a big stomp to the back of Strong's head, following up with a Brainbuster for a super close two. O'Reilly would go back to the well, attempting another Brainbuster, but Strong counters with a knee and pulls O'Reilly down and then up with a Gibson Driver! The referee counts to two and O'Reilly kicks out, grabbing Strong's leg as he does and he has him locked into an Ankle Lock!
Strong fights and manages to roll through it, sending O'Reilly into the buckles. Strong storms back up, blasting O'Reilly with an elbow and then running off the ropes, delivering the Sick Kick! Strong pins again, but once again O'Reilly is out, and O'Reilly manages to capture Strong into a Fujiwara Armbar from his back, locking it on tight! Strong struggles and manages to reverse it, kicking O'Reilly to the face after rolling through and then lifting him for the Death by Roderick, but O'Reilly manages to counter, grabbing Strong's arm and taking him down into the Cross Armbar, and he has it on tight, but Strong fights it! He reaches and manages to clinch his fingers together. Strong would use his strength and hoist up O'Reilly, slamming him over his knee with a Backbreaker variation!
Strong grabs O'Reilly and looks for the Strong Hold and he gets it on, but O'Reilly gets to the ropes! Strong pulls him away, but O'Reilly twists, kicking Strong in the face after dislodging his right leg before tripping Strong up and going back to the Ankle Lock! Strong manages to roll and fight it as O'Reilly scissors on, and Strong gets to the ropes! O'Reilly smells blood in the water and tries to stay on him, pulling him up by his leg and into a Regal Plex, but Strong fights it, breaking free and he comes off the ropes and delivers another Sick Kick!
Strong hurries, lifting O'Reilly off the mat and into Vertical Suplex position, finishing him off with the End of Heartache! Strong hooks the leg hard and he gets the three as these fans give both men a standing ovation!
Roderick catches his breath for a moment as O'Reilly rolls out of the ring, leaving humbly in defeat on this night. Strong proceeds to grab a microphone. Strong says that tonight was vindication, and at "Never Ending War" he wants to be vindicated further. He says on the 30th, he wants a match with the man everyone around the world considers the best wrestler alive today... at "Never Ending War" he wants a title match with Daniel Bryan! He says he wants to prove once and for all that he is one of the best wrestlers in the world today and is a true champion, and to do that, he'll beat the best! The fans applaud this as Strong leaves looking determined.

LIBERTY PRO CHAMPIONSHIP
BJ Whitmer (c) versus KENTA
This match had been on the horizon for some time now, and while it seemed odd the blow off between these two would taking place here in Lancaster, it was clear neither one of these men wanted to give an inch and didn't care who was watching it. This was about pride more so than any championship, as these two have been at each others throats for months now, gaining an inch, losing a mile, back and forth and with every staggering blow you could feel that they wanted this settled once and for all.
Unfortunately, that wasn't to be. The counters, the kick outs, the reversals, everything just played out so beautifully, but it was too much. Neither man could land the decisive blow, neither the Game Over nor the Peruvian Neck-tie could be used without a rope break or counter, and neither man would admit defeat and allow their shoulders to be held down. Whitmer would manage to counter a Go 2 Sleep attempt and land a Lariat that left both men laying on the mat completely exhausted as the bell sounded, the thirty minute time limit having expired!
The fans would show their appreciation, but BJ Whitmer was beside himself. He and KENTA would stand, looking at each other, and Whitmer would grab a microphone. Whitmer would look down at the title in his hand and then back at the crowd. He would go on to say that he's been a proud champion here in Liberty Pro, but his pride has been bruised... his body broken, and for what? He says it's not enough. He says the championship is not enough, and he says tonight only proved that to him as he failed to put away KENTA and defend it. He says they shouldn't be fighting for that belt, but for something greater. He then proceeds to throw down the belt, and continue. He says at "Never Ending War" he doesn't want to defend that championship, but instead he wants to capture another! He says he is not a real champion yet, but he will be, because at "Never Ending War" he wants a shot at Samoa Joe!
This leads Kurt Angle to the ring to cheers from the Lancaster crowd. Angle says tonight he's seen an exceptional night of wrestling, and the fans agree with cheers and applause. Angle says what he just saw Whitmer and KENTA put each other through inspired him, and made him realize what he's watching here in the best professional wrestling anywhere, and the roster here should be aspiring to bigger and better things, to greater glory, to immortality! Nobody can disagree with that here.
Angle goes on to say that tonight we didn't have a winner of the match, but we were all winners for having watched it, and he believes both men just earned a shot at Samoa Joe at "Never Ending War" and that's what they will get! The fans give a big reaction for that as it now clear the main event for Liberty Pro's next iPPV will be Joe vs. Whitmer vs. KENTA in what promises to be a truly epic confrontation!
