SINGLES MATCH
Xavier Woods vs. Chuck Taylor
Woods would show a lot of energy in his entrance, trying to bring the fans into this but it was the heel work of Chuck Taylor that really sold this short opener. Taylor would slow things down in a devious way, attacking the left leg of Woods and really making this five minute match seem like an eternity for the Georgia native. Taylor would wrench the knee, stomp it, and play the crowd as Woods banged on the mat, trying to rally them. Woods would finally make a comeback, delivering a big hip toss to Taylor as a reversal to an Abdominal Stretch, followed by a series of punches and a dropkick that sent Taylor out of the ring, woozy and swinging at the air, obviously not quite sure what hit him. Woods would then launch himself to the outside with a Pescado, getting a nice little pop from the crowd for the high risk maneuver. Woods sends Taylor back into the ring, favoring his knee as he does, but he climbs to the top and measures what Taylor, who wobbles to his feet. Woods then comes off the top, looking for something but we never find out what, as Taylor sends a Double Axe Handle right to the bread basket! Taylor then grabs Woods, who is doubled over and in pain, lifting him and delivering the Omega Driver, and Woods sells it like death, bouncing right off the top of his head from the mat and spinning on one foot, then dropping stiff, allowing Taylor to pin him and the fans cheer for that! Entertaining end there with some memorable touches, and that was a good way to start off the long night ahead!
Winner via Pinfall: Chuck Taylor

TAG TEAM MATCH
Ryan Drago & TJ Perkins vs. "The Swagger Hounds": Shiima Xion & Sonjay Dutt
Drago and Perkins both have slightly different styles, but with their international influences, they were able to make an effective team and provided a hard challenger for the arrogant but impressive tandem of Xion and Dutt. Xion and Dutt both act very cocky throughout and don't seem to give their opponents for the night enough credit early on, and both Xion and Dutt end up getting schooled, so to speak, in different ways. Dutt would start off the match against Drago, toying with him early and avoiding contact, brushing off his shoulder and mocking Drago's mustache, only to find himself getting out wrestled by Drago once they finally do tie up. Drago puts on an impressive display of chain wrestling, which Dutt gets taken by surprise on, and then, once he has him down into a sitting position, he transitions into a striking barrage, slapping him on the back and then lighting him up with a series of kicks before trying for a cover, but only getting a short two. Drago stays on the attack, grabbing Dutt into a Cravat, but Dutt manages to put out his boot in desperation and Xion slaps it and the referee shows leniency by allowing the unorthodox tag to count. Xion quickly gets in and begins pummeling Drago with overhand shots, backing Drago up against the ropes, but it's Perkins now who makes the tag, blindly slapping Drago to the back and leaping in, sending multiple quick kicks into Xion, who is taken by surprise, and then runs off the ropes, hitting a multiple rotations headscissors takedown to send him out of the ring! Things get fun from there, as these guys start lighting up the ring with high spots, with each man performing a dive of some kind from the ring, with Xion landing the most impressive of the four and the only one really worth noting with a spectacular Tornillo from the top to actually wipe out Drago, Perkins, and even Dutt in a wild and reckless act that truly defied all logic and even death. Xion would revive his partner, who would send Perkins into the crowd as Xion sent Perkins into the ring. From there, the Hounds performed a combination they have dubbed "The Moon Assault" according to Josh Mathews, with Xion springboarding in and performing a Moonsault from the middle turnbuckle as Dutt got himself into position and delivered the devastating Moon Stomp, and that ended it. Xion made the cover and Dutt counted it off as the ref slapped the mat three consecutive times, declaring them the victors on this night.
Winners via Pinfall: Shiima Xion & Sonjay Dutt
After a good deal of posturing, Dutt got the microphone, proclaiming that no tag team in wrestling has swagger like the Hounds! They leave looking very satisfied, and it's clear the tag team division is heating up!

SINGLES MATCH
Taryn Terrell vs. Becky Lynch
Lynch and Terrell have very different personalities, with Lynch being definitely very edgy and rock'n'roll and Terrell being a lot more of a diva in nature, but with her own kind of spunk to add to her charisma. Lynch would start the match out bad mouthing Terrell, but Terrell wouldn't back down and answered her with a smack that could be heard throughout the arena. Lynch would try to smack her back, but Terrell would duck and then unload on her with a series of right hands, whipping her off the rope afterwards and taking her down with a back elbow. Lynch was hurting but popped back up, eating a clothesline and Terrell would try to go for the quick cover and end the night early, but Lynch wasn't having it, kicking out at barely a two. Terrell would try to stay on the offensive, locking a chinlock, but Lynch would get back to her feet and fight Terrell off with a series of elbows, followed by a nasty eye gouge, screaming as she tried to claw out Terrell's eyeballs from their sockets! Lynch would then grab a handful of blonde hair and slammed Terrell backwards to the mat, yelling and whipping her hair before running off the ropes and dropping a quick leg across her breasts, but would only get a two on her pin attempt as well. The native of Ireland was not satisfied with this, letting the ref and all of the fans know she didn't care what they thought before laying into Terrell with a series of boots. Lynch would grab Terrell up off of the mat, laying into her with a series of knees before trying to hook her in for a Fisherman's Suplex, but Terrell countered, battling out and then nailing a Bulldog! Terrell would cover, but still just a two. Terrell calls for the end and goes looking for the Taryn Cutter, but Lynch counters, rolling up Terrell with a handful of tights, but Terrell shocks the crowd with a kick out! Lynch is beyond disbelief here and grabs the referee's collar, threatening him like a Hell cat, but Terrell hurries and rolls her up, and this time it is enough! The referee may have made a bit of a quick count here, but who could blame him? Terrell gets the three, and Lynch is livid!
Winner via Pinfall: Taryn Terrell
Lynch throws a bit of tantrum around ringside here, overturning chairs and slapping the announcer's table as she leaves, while Terrell smiles a wide grin, throwing up her hands and pointing to her adoring fans victoriously as we head to the next match of the evening.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Zack Ryder & John Morrison vs. "Killer Elite Squad": Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Lance Archer
Before the match, we see a backstage segment with the Killer Elite Squad. Lance Archer does most of the talking, letting the fans know he has come here to get vengeance. He says that years ago, it was HIM who took Curt Hawkins from obscurity to being a force in the tag team division as the Gatecrashers. He says he never got a call when it came time to come back to Florida, but guys like Ryder, Morrison, and Reks were all here, along with Hawkins, making names for themselves. He says he's been in Texas, the Mid-Atlantic, Japan, everywhere he could be, and he's found a new partner; former North American champion, the "Canadian Bulldog" himself, Davey Boy Smith, Jr., a wrestler far superior to Hawkins and a partner who has helped him reach his greatest successes in this business. Smith says that Archer is one of the best prospects the business has seen, and he, himself, has a pedigree few others could even try to match. He says together, they are the Killer Elite Squad, and while there are many tag teams here, none can match what they bring to the table, and all will fall to the K.E.S.
Later in the show, we hit the ring, and the tandem of Ryder and Morrison, who have been teaming regularly, hit the ring looking ready, but it's clear the fans are not in their favor. Smith and Archer head down, and they look mean and ready for action. The fans didn't seem super hot for this, and the action, while pretty sound, didn't really raise any pulses. This was more of a brawl throughout, and while near the end Ryder and Morrison were able to cut off the ring and hit some big moves, such as a Running Boot Scrape from Ryder and a Springboard Roundhouse Kick from Morrison, Smith would make the hot tag and Archer would lay down some chokeslams. Ryder would get tossed from the ring by Smith and Archer would get Morrison with a Full Nelson, and he and Smith would deliver their Killer Bomb, obliterating Morrison and keeping him down for the three count.
Winners via Pinfall: Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Lance Archer
Archer would throw down the referee as he tried to raise his arm, going into his "American Psycho" persona, and then grabbed the microphone, stating he wanted Curt Hawkins' BLOOD!

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Homicide vs. Chris Sabin vs. Kazarian
Before the match, we got an interview with Chris Sabin. Sabin was wearing a hood and stated that things were changing around here, but he's always been one to roll with the changes. He's changed so much since arriving here, and yet some things stay the same. He says he's had wars with so many great competitors over the years, but he says two of his most fierce opponents have been Homicide and Kazarian, two men he steps into the ring with tonight. He says no matter what, Chris Sabin always comes out on top, but tonight, he knows the real winners of this match is going to be the fans. He leaves it at that, and we head to the ring, where we prepare for the action.
This was what it was expected to be, and that's little more than a spot fest. That's alright, though, because after the previous match, these fans were rested and ready for get some cheap thrills at the expense of these three individuals. We had some crazy reversals, a big dive from Homicide to the outside onto Kazarian, and then Sabin rushing from the apron and taking down both of his opponents with a Missile Dropkick all in about two minutes early on in the contest. Sabin would send Homicide back into the ring and then headed up top, but Kazarian would show his speed and resilience, rushing and grabbing Sabin's leg from the apron, stopping him at the top. Sabin would punch Kazarian a few times, causing him to back off, but Homicide was back up and ready, rushing and grabbing Sabin on the top and bringing him down with a Super Ace Crusher! Homicide went looking for the win, but Kazarian springboarded in, hitting a Leg Drop! Kazarian would manage to grab Homicide staggering from behind and turned him, delivering the Tomikaze! Kazarian pins, but Homicide gets a foot on the ropes to break it up! Kazarian calls for the end, looking for the Fade to Black, but Sabin is back up and he superkicks Kazarian's leg, causing him to fall and drop Homicide on his head into the Fade to Black, but he's not done! He proceeds to hit a Shining Enzuigiri, going for the cover, but only a two count! Sabin calls for the end and lifts up Kazarian on his shoulders, looking for the Cradle Shock, but Kazarian fights out of it with elbows, attempting to hit the Tomikaze, but Sabin reverses it, and hooks it Kazarian, taking him over with Bridging Tiger Suplex! The referee goes for the count, but Kazarian somehow manages to kick out at two! Sabin calls for the end, and he grabs Kazarian, hooking him in, and he tries to drive him down with the All Hail Sabin, but Homicide is back in it and he delivers a Yakuze Kick to the back of Sabin's head, and he still drives down Kazarian with the move, but doesn't hold down, instead holding his head in pain! Kazarian rolls out of the ring, and Homicide picks up Sabin, hooking him in and then rolling him over... Da Cop Killa! Sabin just got crushed, and these fans can't believe it! One, two, three, Homicide managed to get the win, and nobody saw that coming!
Winner via Pinfall: Homicide
Homicide is very excited and so are the fans here in Florida, who seem to love the Brooklyn star of Puerto Rican descent! Sabin manages to grab a microphone before Homicide can take off, and says he wants to meet again, and Homicide eloquently yells back, "Any time, homie!" So, that's as iron clad as it gets on a rematch confirmation, I'd have to think.

SINGLES MATCH
Angelina Love vs. Madison Rayne
Love has been a thorn in the side of Rayne for some time now, along with her partner Velvet Sky, and it was high time these two mixed it up here and got some things settled in the middle of the ring. The match would start with some back and forth jawing, but would end in a collar and elbow tie up, with Rayne really looking intense. She's been one upped by Love at nearly every turn, and she was looking to get her revenge. Love would try to cut her off with a knee, but Rayne would fire back with a series of chops before taking her down with a dropkick. Love would try to retreat to the outside, but Rayne would follow her out, hitting her with a barrage of forearms before ramming him back first into the apron! Rayne would take things back into the ring and hit a boot to the face of Love, going for a cover, but only getting a two count. Love would fight back, delivering a Jaw Breaker, before delivering a DDT, but only got a two count for her efforts as well. Love would try getting vicious, mounting and punching Rayne repeatedly then ripping at her hair, but Rayne would manage to flip it and began slapping Love back and forth before pounding her head off the mat by her bleach blonde locks! Love would stumble up as Rayne worked the crowd, calling for the end. Rayne would rush and deliver a big Spear, but would only get a two count on the pin attempt, clearly shocking her and the crowd. Rayne would almost panic as she rushed, trying to capitalize on the still stunned state of Love, grabbing Love and attempting the Rayne Check, but Love would reverse it with a very nice School Girl, only to get a two. Love would quickly try for her Botox Injection as both were trying to find their footing, but Rayne would side step it, kicking Love and grabbing her head, delivering the Rayne Drop, but still she could only get a two! Rayne was beyond frustration, pounding on Love once more and then trying to go for the Rayne Check again, but this time Love reversed, rolling her up in a Small Package! The referee counts, and it's all over, Love took advantage of Rayne's aggressiveness and used it against her, getting the win!
Winner via Pinfall: Angelina Love
Love hurries out of the ring, and she laughs maniacally at Rayne, who is clearly beside herself with anger and frustration. Rayne pounds on the mat, very disappointed and her mood turns somber as she leaves, looking very upset. Love couldn't be more smug as she makes her exit, knowing she just beat one of the top women in this division and that puts her in good standing anywhere.

TAG TEAM MATCH
PJ Black & Matt Sydal vs. "reDRagon": Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish
Sydal and Black were recently able to pick up an indirect win over reDRagon in a three way tag match, pinning a member of the third team involved. O'Reilly and Fish called for a two-on-two rematch, and Black and Sydal were more than game to test their skills in a "fair fight" against one of the absolute best teams on the planet today. Black and Sydal saw an opportunity here and wanted to make the most of it, surprising reDRagon and everyone else by bum rushing O'Reilly and Fish early and taking things to the outside, brawling with them and throwing them off, as I'm sure reDRagon expected their opponents to be a little more reserved and cautious going into this. One cannot expect caution, however, from competitors like Sydal and Black, who have made their names off of their reckless abandon and knowing the ramifications here, they were going to need to be as wild and unpredictable as possible to get an edge over a seasoned team of former champions like reDRagon. Once this match got back in the ring and started to resemble something close to a traditional tag team competition, that's where reDRagon were able to get back a little footing and gain some ground, using their experience and excellent double team tactics to throw off the fresh new team of Black and Sydal, and make them pay dividends for their earlier transgressions. O'Reilly would manage to avoid some contact from some wild looking strike attempts from Sydal, latching onto him with a Standing Guillotine Choke, and he would manage to back up Sydal enough to get a blind tag from Fish, opening up a can of worms that lead to Sydal being cut off from his corner and them really laying down the punishment on him. Sydal would eventually manage to get a tag to Black, and Black would show his athleticism, avoiding contact from two on coming opponents, and then eventually coming off the ropes and taking down both O'Reilly and Fish with a Double Dropkick, followed by a Suicide Dive to the outside to get these fans to nearly go into a frenzy! The fans were clearly behind Black and Sydal, wanting to see the underdogs come out on top here, but by the end, after so many amazing displays of athleticism and all of the false finishes that followed, they were just drained and buzzing and just happy to be witnessing something so awesome. It looked like Sydal might actually have the match in the bag as he delivered a Half Nelson Driver to O'Reilly, but Fish would somehow make his way in and break it up with a Shoot Kick to his dome. Fish would then try for a Leaping Roundhouse Kick, but Sydal would duck it, catching him with a Jumping High Knee, and then Fish would turn right into Black, who was coming off the top and caught him with a Swinging Frankensteiner, sending him to the outside! Black and Sydal called for the end, and they both grabbed O'Reilly, attempting to lift him with a Double Suplex, but O'Reilly would knee Black and then come down, open hand striking, kneeing and kicking Sydal before popping Black with a kick and an elbow, before delivering his own Jumping High Knee to Sydal and then stomping the back of Black's head, sending him down and out of the ring in a very impressive flurry that had the fans chanting "O'REILLY! O'REILLY!" Sydal attempts to fight back, but O'Reilly catches his arm and takes him down, latching on with a very high angle Cross Armbar! Sydal seems exhausted and his arm looks on the verge of snapping, so he has no choice but to tap out. reDRagon get the win here, but they had to earn it and they definitely looked like they'd been through a war.
Winners via Submission: Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish

SINGLES MATCH
Austin Aries vs. Low Ki
These two have had many battles in the past, many with championship aspirations, but one had to think, as Mathews and Taz mused and contemplated on the outside, that this one would have to put the victor into strong contention towards AJ Styles' World Heavyweight championship in the not so distant future. Aries certainly looked to ground Low Ki early and try to neutralize his violent striking prowess, but Ki didn't seem averse to taking things to the mat. Both men traded holds for a number of minutes, as the commentary team went over the game of chess being played, and how the match resembled more of a contest set in Japan as opposed to something the fans here were used to seeing, and this caused a rift with the crowd. Some really appreciated what was happening, while others loudly heckled the display of gamesmanship by these two world class technicians. Aries seemed to finally get the better of things and would open things up to striking, sending a kick into Ki's spine, causing "Ooohs" and "Aaahs" from the audience, and the Wisconsin native would then goad Ki into a brawl. Taz would question the smarts of Aries on this decision, but he showed his toughness, trying to hang with Ki and doing so convincingly until Ki's repertoire just got the better of him and Ki would land a wild, snapping kick to the external occipital protuberance of Aries, sending him down to the mat, but only for a two count. Aries would take some more strong shots from Ki until he had to head to the outside, more out of instinct than a lack of will to fight. Ki would follow him out, landing hard chops and kicks before delivering a wicked Running Front Drop Kick that sent Aries flying into the guard rail, accompanied by a banshee like scream for added effect. Ki would send Aries back into the ring and then scaled the buckles, looking for the Warrior's Way, but Aries would manage to get to his feet and fling himself towards the ropes, crotching Ki on top! "A Double" would proceed to attempt a Superplex, hooking Ki in and pulling, but Ki would fight it. Instead of forcing the issue, Aries would land some stiff left clubbing blows to the back of Ki, then pulled him down into a sort of reverse Tree of Woe. Aries would then run, banging against the opposite buckles and then rushing across, delivering a high speed Running Dropkick to the spine of Ki, crushing his abdomen and ribs into the buckles before he went tumbling to the mat! Aries calls for the end, grabbing Ki and trying for a Brainbuster after a failed pin attempt, but Ki reverses with a knee to Aries' face. Ki then sends Aries into the buckles and tumbles over, delivering the Tidal Krush to the approval of the crowd! Aries falls from the corner, dazed, and Ki rushes off the ropes, attempting a Shining Wizard, but Aries ducks it, only to have Ki catch himself and reverse the momentum and deliver a kick to Aries, taking him down and maybe knocking him out! Ki attempts a cover, and he thinks he has it, but Aries manages to will himself out at two! Ki, smelling blood in the water, so to speak, latches on with a Dragon Clutch! Ki tries to end it, but Aries manages to slip out and pulls Ki down, floating over and then delivering repeated knees to his head before latching on with the Last Chancery! Counter after counter, these guys are putting on a clinic! Ki pulls himself close to the ropes, forcing Aries to release the hold, only to pull up Ki and once again attempt the Brainbuster, but Ki manages to elbow his way out and then attempts a Cross Armbar, only to have Aries turn and send Ki into the buckles with tremendous force, breaking the hold while still standing! Ki pulls himself up in the buckles, and Aries rushes in, delivering another Corner Dropkick! Aries calls for the end again, once again going for the Brainbuster and he hits it! One, two, NO! Ki kicks out and Aries can't believe it! Aries stumbles up, pointing to the top, and heads up. Aries scales the top, but Ki is back up, and he leaps, delivering a massive Enzuigiri! Ki goes up, and hooks Aries in. Aries fights it, but Ki chops him repeatedly and then delivers a brutal headbutt! Ki then hooks him in and proceeds to deliver a Super Ki Krusher! It's all over, and the fans are wired! Ki pins Aries and gets the three count!
Winner via Pinfall: Low Ki

SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH - NO COUNT OUTS
AJ Styles and "The Young Bucks": Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson vs. "3lite": Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, and Ricochet
Earlier in the night, we see AJ Styles and the Young Bucks backstage. Styles is protesting, saying they shouldn't have to go through this match once again. He says Kurt Angle made this match before, and 3lite proved to everyone what they really are: "3 losers". They couldn't get the job done then, and they won't tonight! Matt Jackson goes to say that Shelley and Ricochet both have held singles gold, but that time has come and gone. He says both may have been in a tag team or two in the past, none of which are of note or of interest chimes in Nick Jackson, Matt says they are mistaken if they think the answers to their title woes lies in the tag team realm. There is only one supreme team in tag team wrestling today, and they are the ones holding the belts, the undisputed best, the Young Bucks. They might have the fans fooled with their little mohawks and their flashy gear, and they may think they have a shot because they beat one of the dime a dozen tag teams stinking up the ranks around these parts, but when push comes to shove and they stand in the ring with the best, they'll realize that "3lite" is out of their league. Nick Jackson goes on to say that the Young Bucks made their own lane in the tag team world, blazing a trail that no other team can or will ever be able to follow, and unfortunately for guys like Shelley and Ricochet, and so many other pointless teams around the world, it's going to be a long time before they can be toppled. The Young Bucks don't just come into a tag team division on any given roster, they automatically make whatever division their in the BEST division in the WORLD. Matt Jackson proceeds to chime in, "Game changers". AJ Styles goes on to say that much like the Young Bucks are the best at what they do, AJ Styles is the all around best professional wrestler there is today, there was yesterday, and he's going to be the best tomorrow. That's not going to change tonight, or any night, for a long, long time. He says that while everyone is having their pointless, vane debates on who the best in the world is, and who is the next to challenge AJ Styles, the fact is AJ Styles will always be the best and always was the best, with or without the title. He says as soon as he stepped into ranks here in Florida, he put this promotion on the map and automatically made it one of the top promotions ON THE PLANET. As soon as the Young Bucks hit the scene, they took a tag team division without an identity and made it the premier division IN THE WORLD. So no matter what 3lite or anybody has to say, the most valuable assets in wrestling are standing right in front of the camera, belts or no belts, and there's nobody who could replace them, and tonight, 3lite isn't going to be able to stop them.
Also earlier in the evening, we saw 3lite standing in, with Jay Lethal sporting his trademark suit and shades, while Shelley and Ricochet are wearing 3lite t-shirts with matching colored tights and mohawks. Lethal says that perception is commonly referred to as reality. The perception is when you see a guy like AJ Styles, and he's wearing that World championship belt, that must mean HE'S THE BEST! Well, upon investigation, what do you find? You find AJ Styles running and ducking from the competition, getting himself counted out LEFT AND RIGHT, then you have this SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CHAMPION BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT HE IS! WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!? AJ Styles, you may have been the best 10 years ago, but today, you should've been a former champion about a month ago, and in the future, you're definitely going to be a former champion when I'm done with ya! Talk your talk, but you're psyche out tactics, you're little mind games, they aren't fooling NOBODY! Tonight, there are no count outs! No where to run, nowhere to hide, I'll beat you low, and I'll crush you from high! Shelley then chimes in, stating that the Young Bucks must have their little girly ponytails pulled back a little too tight, cause the bloods not getting to their brains. He says if you listen to them, they invented tag team wrestling, but he says he's been wrestling on a higher level than them for a long damn time, way before anybody knew who they were, and one thing he knows, and the whole wrestling world knows, that Alex Shelley deserves is a tag team championship. He's carried many inferior partners in the past, but now he has a man to match his zest in that ring, and they are taking the rankings by storm! Ricochet goes on to say that whatever the Young Bucks can do, Ricochet can do it with an extra flip or corkscrew, and make it look a Hell of a lot better. He says the Young Bucks are yesterday's news, and the future of tag team wrestling and the state of the art in the sport stand in front of THIS CAMERA. Jay Lethal goes on to say that the so-called "game changers" barely look like they are playing the same "game" when compared next to 3lite, because 3lite are on that much higher a level. Love it or hate it, get used to it, cause 3lite is the team that's going to STOP AJ STYLES AND THE YOUNG BUCKS!
Styles and the Young Bucks were taking on heavy boos here, but they looked perfectly fine with it, keeping a very calm and cool demeanor throughout; the air of superiority was clearly radiating from them as they huddled up and talked game plan. Out to the ring then came 3lite, and the fans were really behind this team, as the more wild and outlandish looking pairing of Shelley and Ricochet gravitated around the robed and confidant looking Lethal, who sported a sideways, nearly sinister smile. Styles and the Young Bucks would storm across the ring early, attacking and taking things to the outside. This match would take place primarily on the outside, as we saw some really great spots and reversals out there, and these fans in the arena got see this battle up close and personal. The "no count out" stipulation was clearly being utilized here, but pinfalls still had to happen inside, and eventually Styles would get things back inside after catching Lethal with a low kick and then beating him nearly senseless. Styles would call for the end, looking for the Styles Clash, but Lethal would reverse, grabbing his leg and taking him down! Lethal would stomp and stomp Styles' leg, and would twist it, locking on the Figure Four Leglock in the center of the ring! The fans would cheer as Lethal upped the pressure, but into the ring would fly Nick Jackson with a Springboard Moonsault to break up the hold! Jackson would measure up Lethal, looking for a Superkick, but Lethal would catch the move and pull Nick in, delivering the Lethal Combination! Matt Jackson would fly into the ring, though, and catch him with a Corkscrew Somersault Stunner, taking him down! Jackson would go for the cover, but Ricochet would break it up with a fantastic Shooting Star Press! Styles is back up, though, and Ricochet tries for a Roundhouse Kick, only to have it ducked and get caught with the Pele Kick! Shelley is in, though, and he catches Styles with a Superkick, stunning the World Heavyweight champion, and then grabs him, looking for the Sliced Bread #2, but Styles shoves him away and then catches him with a Discus Lariat as he turns, and Styles is looking like a beast here! Styles is taunting, jumping on the ropes and mocking the fans, but as he turns, Lethal just finishes Handspringing and he's flying backwards, delivering the Lethal Injection! Styles never saw it coming, and he's down! Lethal hooks the leg, and it's one, two, THREE! Jay Lethal gets a pinfall over the World Heavyweight champion!
Winners via Pinfall: Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, and Ricochet
Styles can't believe what has happened, as Lethal stands before him, holding the World Heavyweight title, as Shelley and Ricochet stand behind him holding up the 3lite hand signal. Lethal throws down the belt, saying it's going to be his soon enough, as the Young Bucks reach in and grab Styles, who just seems stunned and shocked that Lethal managed to get the better of him. Styles seems to be seeing his title reign coming to an end, but that might make him even more dangerous as he begins to feel like a caged animal. One thing is for certain, if Jay Lethal wasn't confidant about his chances against AJ Styles before, he certainly is now as he prepares to get his now soon to be realized dream of a World Heavyweight title shot at the next show.

SINGLES MATCH
Xavier Woods vs. Chuck Taylor
Woods would show a lot of energy in his entrance, trying to bring the fans into this but it was the heel work of Chuck Taylor that really sold this short opener. Taylor would slow things down in a devious way, attacking the left leg of Woods and really making this five minute match seem like an eternity for the Georgia native. Taylor would wrench the knee, stomp it, and play the crowd as Woods banged on the mat, trying to rally them. Woods would finally make a comeback, delivering a big hip toss to Taylor as a reversal to an Abdominal Stretch, followed by a series of punches and a dropkick that sent Taylor out of the ring, woozy and swinging at the air, obviously not quite sure what hit him. Woods would then launch himself to the outside with a Pescado, getting a nice little pop from the crowd for the high risk maneuver. Woods sends Taylor back into the ring, favoring his knee as he does, but he climbs to the top and measures what Taylor, who wobbles to his feet. Woods then comes off the top, looking for something but we never find out what, as Taylor sends a Double Axe Handle right to the bread basket! Taylor then grabs Woods, who is doubled over and in pain, lifting him and delivering the Omega Driver, and Woods sells it like death, bouncing right off the top of his head from the mat and spinning on one foot, then dropping stiff, allowing Taylor to pin him and the fans cheer for that! Entertaining end there with some memorable touches, and that was a good way to start off the long night ahead!
Winner via Pinfall: Chuck Taylor

TAG TEAM MATCH
Ryan Drago & TJ Perkins vs. "The Swagger Hounds": Shiima Xion & Sonjay Dutt
Drago and Perkins both have slightly different styles, but with their international influences, they were able to make an effective team and provided a hard challenger for the arrogant but impressive tandem of Xion and Dutt. Xion and Dutt both act very cocky throughout and don't seem to give their opponents for the night enough credit early on, and both Xion and Dutt end up getting schooled, so to speak, in different ways. Dutt would start off the match against Drago, toying with him early and avoiding contact, brushing off his shoulder and mocking Drago's mustache, only to find himself getting out wrestled by Drago once they finally do tie up. Drago puts on an impressive display of chain wrestling, which Dutt gets taken by surprise on, and then, once he has him down into a sitting position, he transitions into a striking barrage, slapping him on the back and then lighting him up with a series of kicks before trying for a cover, but only getting a short two. Drago stays on the attack, grabbing Dutt into a Cravat, but Dutt manages to put out his boot in desperation and Xion slaps it and the referee shows leniency by allowing the unorthodox tag to count. Xion quickly gets in and begins pummeling Drago with overhand shots, backing Drago up against the ropes, but it's Perkins now who makes the tag, blindly slapping Drago to the back and leaping in, sending multiple quick kicks into Xion, who is taken by surprise, and then runs off the ropes, hitting a multiple rotations headscissors takedown to send him out of the ring! Things get fun from there, as these guys start lighting up the ring with high spots, with each man performing a dive of some kind from the ring, with Xion landing the most impressive of the four and the only one really worth noting with a spectacular Tornillo from the top to actually wipe out Drago, Perkins, and even Dutt in a wild and reckless act that truly defied all logic and even death. Xion would revive his partner, who would send Perkins into the crowd as Xion sent Perkins into the ring. From there, the Hounds performed a combination they have dubbed "The Moon Assault" according to Josh Mathews, with Xion springboarding in and performing a Moonsault from the middle turnbuckle as Dutt got himself into position and delivered the devastating Moon Stomp, and that ended it. Xion made the cover and Dutt counted it off as the ref slapped the mat three consecutive times, declaring them the victors on this night.
Winners via Pinfall: Shiima Xion & Sonjay Dutt
After a good deal of posturing, Dutt got the microphone, proclaiming that no tag team in wrestling has swagger like the Hounds! They leave looking very satisfied, and it's clear the tag team division is heating up!

SINGLES MATCH
Taryn Terrell vs. Becky Lynch
Lynch and Terrell have very different personalities, with Lynch being definitely very edgy and rock'n'roll and Terrell being a lot more of a diva in nature, but with her own kind of spunk to add to her charisma. Lynch would start the match out bad mouthing Terrell, but Terrell wouldn't back down and answered her with a smack that could be heard throughout the arena. Lynch would try to smack her back, but Terrell would duck and then unload on her with a series of right hands, whipping her off the rope afterwards and taking her down with a back elbow. Lynch was hurting but popped back up, eating a clothesline and Terrell would try to go for the quick cover and end the night early, but Lynch wasn't having it, kicking out at barely a two. Terrell would try to stay on the offensive, locking a chinlock, but Lynch would get back to her feet and fight Terrell off with a series of elbows, followed by a nasty eye gouge, screaming as she tried to claw out Terrell's eyeballs from their sockets! Lynch would then grab a handful of blonde hair and slammed Terrell backwards to the mat, yelling and whipping her hair before running off the ropes and dropping a quick leg across her breasts, but would only get a two on her pin attempt as well. The native of Ireland was not satisfied with this, letting the ref and all of the fans know she didn't care what they thought before laying into Terrell with a series of boots. Lynch would grab Terrell up off of the mat, laying into her with a series of knees before trying to hook her in for a Fisherman's Suplex, but Terrell countered, battling out and then nailing a Bulldog! Terrell would cover, but still just a two. Terrell calls for the end and goes looking for the Taryn Cutter, but Lynch counters, rolling up Terrell with a handful of tights, but Terrell shocks the crowd with a kick out! Lynch is beyond disbelief here and grabs the referee's collar, threatening him like a Hell cat, but Terrell hurries and rolls her up, and this time it is enough! The referee may have made a bit of a quick count here, but who could blame him? Terrell gets the three, and Lynch is livid!
Winner via Pinfall: Taryn Terrell
Lynch throws a bit of tantrum around ringside here, overturning chairs and slapping the announcer's table as she leaves, while Terrell smiles a wide grin, throwing up her hands and pointing to her adoring fans victoriously as we head to the next match of the evening.

TAG TEAM MATCH
Zack Ryder & John Morrison vs. "Killer Elite Squad": Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Lance Archer
Before the match, we see a backstage segment with the Killer Elite Squad. Lance Archer does most of the talking, letting the fans know he has come here to get vengeance. He says that years ago, it was HIM who took Curt Hawkins from obscurity to being a force in the tag team division as the Gatecrashers. He says he never got a call when it came time to come back to Florida, but guys like Ryder, Morrison, and Reks were all here, along with Hawkins, making names for themselves. He says he's been in Texas, the Mid-Atlantic, Japan, everywhere he could be, and he's found a new partner; former North American champion, the "Canadian Bulldog" himself, Davey Boy Smith, Jr., a wrestler far superior to Hawkins and a partner who has helped him reach his greatest successes in this business. Smith says that Archer is one of the best prospects the business has seen, and he, himself, has a pedigree few others could even try to match. He says together, they are the Killer Elite Squad, and while there are many tag teams here, none can match what they bring to the table, and all will fall to the K.E.S.
Later in the show, we hit the ring, and the tandem of Ryder and Morrison, who have been teaming regularly, hit the ring looking ready, but it's clear the fans are not in their favor. Smith and Archer head down, and they look mean and ready for action. The fans didn't seem super hot for this, and the action, while pretty sound, didn't really raise any pulses. This was more of a brawl throughout, and while near the end Ryder and Morrison were able to cut off the ring and hit some big moves, such as a Running Boot Scrape from Ryder and a Springboard Roundhouse Kick from Morrison, Smith would make the hot tag and Archer would lay down some chokeslams. Ryder would get tossed from the ring by Smith and Archer would get Morrison with a Full Nelson, and he and Smith would deliver their Killer Bomb, obliterating Morrison and keeping him down for the three count.
Winners via Pinfall: Davey Boy Smith, Jr. & Lance Archer
Archer would throw down the referee as he tried to raise his arm, going into his "American Psycho" persona, and then grabbed the microphone, stating he wanted Curt Hawkins' BLOOD!

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Homicide vs. Chris Sabin vs. Kazarian
Before the match, we got an interview with Chris Sabin. Sabin was wearing a hood and stated that things were changing around here, but he's always been one to roll with the changes. He's changed so much since arriving here, and yet some things stay the same. He says he's had wars with so many great competitors over the years, but he says two of his most fierce opponents have been Homicide and Kazarian, two men he steps into the ring with tonight. He says no matter what, Chris Sabin always comes out on top, but tonight, he knows the real winners of this match is going to be the fans. He leaves it at that, and we head to the ring, where we prepare for the action.
This was what it was expected to be, and that's little more than a spot fest. That's alright, though, because after the previous match, these fans were rested and ready for get some cheap thrills at the expense of these three individuals. We had some crazy reversals, a big dive from Homicide to the outside onto Kazarian, and then Sabin rushing from the apron and taking down both of his opponents with a Missile Dropkick all in about two minutes early on in the contest. Sabin would send Homicide back into the ring and then headed up top, but Kazarian would show his speed and resilience, rushing and grabbing Sabin's leg from the apron, stopping him at the top. Sabin would punch Kazarian a few times, causing him to back off, but Homicide was back up and ready, rushing and grabbing Sabin on the top and bringing him down with a Super Ace Crusher! Homicide went looking for the win, but Kazarian springboarded in, hitting a Leg Drop! Kazarian would manage to grab Homicide staggering from behind and turned him, delivering the Tomikaze! Kazarian pins, but Homicide gets a foot on the ropes to break it up! Kazarian calls for the end, looking for the Fade to Black, but Sabin is back up and he superkicks Kazarian's leg, causing him to fall and drop Homicide on his head into the Fade to Black, but he's not done! He proceeds to hit a Shining Enzuigiri, going for the cover, but only a two count! Sabin calls for the end and lifts up Kazarian on his shoulders, looking for the Cradle Shock, but Kazarian fights out of it with elbows, attempting to hit the Tomikaze, but Sabin reverses it, and hooks it Kazarian, taking him over with Bridging Tiger Suplex! The referee goes for the count, but Kazarian somehow manages to kick out at two! Sabin calls for the end, and he grabs Kazarian, hooking him in, and he tries to drive him down with the All Hail Sabin, but Homicide is back in it and he delivers a Yakuze Kick to the back of Sabin's head, and he still drives down Kazarian with the move, but doesn't hold down, instead holding his head in pain! Kazarian rolls out of the ring, and Homicide picks up Sabin, hooking him in and then rolling him over... Da Cop Killa! Sabin just got crushed, and these fans can't believe it! One, two, three, Homicide managed to get the win, and nobody saw that coming!
Winner via Pinfall: Homicide
Homicide is very excited and so are the fans here in Florida, who seem to love the Brooklyn star of Puerto Rican descent! Sabin manages to grab a microphone before Homicide can take off, and says he wants to meet again, and Homicide eloquently yells back, "Any time, homie!" So, that's as iron clad as it gets on a rematch confirmation, I'd have to think.

SINGLES MATCH
Angelina Love vs. Madison Rayne
Love has been a thorn in the side of Rayne for some time now, along with her partner Velvet Sky, and it was high time these two mixed it up here and got some things settled in the middle of the ring. The match would start with some back and forth jawing, but would end in a collar and elbow tie up, with Rayne really looking intense. She's been one upped by Love at nearly every turn, and she was looking to get her revenge. Love would try to cut her off with a knee, but Rayne would fire back with a series of chops before taking her down with a dropkick. Love would try to retreat to the outside, but Rayne would follow her out, hitting her with a barrage of forearms before ramming him back first into the apron! Rayne would take things back into the ring and hit a boot to the face of Love, going for a cover, but only getting a two count. Love would fight back, delivering a Jaw Breaker, before delivering a DDT, but only got a two count for her efforts as well. Love would try getting vicious, mounting and punching Rayne repeatedly then ripping at her hair, but Rayne would manage to flip it and began slapping Love back and forth before pounding her head off the mat by her bleach blonde locks! Love would stumble up as Rayne worked the crowd, calling for the end. Rayne would rush and deliver a big Spear, but would only get a two count on the pin attempt, clearly shocking her and the crowd. Rayne would almost panic as she rushed, trying to capitalize on the still stunned state of Love, grabbing Love and attempting the Rayne Check, but Love would reverse it with a very nice School Girl, only to get a two. Love would quickly try for her Botox Injection as both were trying to find their footing, but Rayne would side step it, kicking Love and grabbing her head, delivering the Rayne Drop, but still she could only get a two! Rayne was beyond frustration, pounding on Love once more and then trying to go for the Rayne Check again, but this time Love reversed, rolling her up in a Small Package! The referee counts, and it's all over, Love took advantage of Rayne's aggressiveness and used it against her, getting the win!
Winner via Pinfall: Angelina Love
Love hurries out of the ring, and she laughs maniacally at Rayne, who is clearly beside herself with anger and frustration. Rayne pounds on the mat, very disappointed and her mood turns somber as she leaves, looking very upset. Love couldn't be more smug as she makes her exit, knowing she just beat one of the top women in this division and that puts her in good standing anywhere.

TAG TEAM MATCH
PJ Black & Matt Sydal vs. "reDRagon": Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish
Sydal and Black were recently able to pick up an indirect win over reDRagon in a three way tag match, pinning a member of the third team involved. O'Reilly and Fish called for a two-on-two rematch, and Black and Sydal were more than game to test their skills in a "fair fight" against one of the absolute best teams on the planet today. Black and Sydal saw an opportunity here and wanted to make the most of it, surprising reDRagon and everyone else by bum rushing O'Reilly and Fish early and taking things to the outside, brawling with them and throwing them off, as I'm sure reDRagon expected their opponents to be a little more reserved and cautious going into this. One cannot expect caution, however, from competitors like Sydal and Black, who have made their names off of their reckless abandon and knowing the ramifications here, they were going to need to be as wild and unpredictable as possible to get an edge over a seasoned team of former champions like reDRagon. Once this match got back in the ring and started to resemble something close to a traditional tag team competition, that's where reDRagon were able to get back a little footing and gain some ground, using their experience and excellent double team tactics to throw off the fresh new team of Black and Sydal, and make them pay dividends for their earlier transgressions. O'Reilly would manage to avoid some contact from some wild looking strike attempts from Sydal, latching onto him with a Standing Guillotine Choke, and he would manage to back up Sydal enough to get a blind tag from Fish, opening up a can of worms that lead to Sydal being cut off from his corner and them really laying down the punishment on him. Sydal would eventually manage to get a tag to Black, and Black would show his athleticism, avoiding contact from two on coming opponents, and then eventually coming off the ropes and taking down both O'Reilly and Fish with a Double Dropkick, followed by a Suicide Dive to the outside to get these fans to nearly go into a frenzy! The fans were clearly behind Black and Sydal, wanting to see the underdogs come out on top here, but by the end, after so many amazing displays of athleticism and all of the false finishes that followed, they were just drained and buzzing and just happy to be witnessing something so awesome. It looked like Sydal might actually have the match in the bag as he delivered a Half Nelson Driver to O'Reilly, but Fish would somehow make his way in and break it up with a Shoot Kick to his dome. Fish would then try for a Leaping Roundhouse Kick, but Sydal would duck it, catching him with a Jumping High Knee, and then Fish would turn right into Black, who was coming off the top and caught him with a Swinging Frankensteiner, sending him to the outside! Black and Sydal called for the end, and they both grabbed O'Reilly, attempting to lift him with a Double Suplex, but O'Reilly would knee Black and then come down, open hand striking, kneeing and kicking Sydal before popping Black with a kick and an elbow, before delivering his own Jumping High Knee to Sydal and then stomping the back of Black's head, sending him down and out of the ring in a very impressive flurry that had the fans chanting "O'REILLY! O'REILLY!" Sydal attempts to fight back, but O'Reilly catches his arm and takes him down, latching on with a very high angle Cross Armbar! Sydal seems exhausted and his arm looks on the verge of snapping, so he has no choice but to tap out. reDRagon get the win here, but they had to earn it and they definitely looked like they'd been through a war.
Winners via Submission: Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish

SINGLES MATCH
Austin Aries vs. Low Ki
These two have had many battles in the past, many with championship aspirations, but one had to think, as Mathews and Taz mused and contemplated on the outside, that this one would have to put the victor into strong contention towards AJ Styles' World Heavyweight championship in the not so distant future. Aries certainly looked to ground Low Ki early and try to neutralize his violent striking prowess, but Ki didn't seem averse to taking things to the mat. Both men traded holds for a number of minutes, as the commentary team went over the game of chess being played, and how the match resembled more of a contest set in Japan as opposed to something the fans here were used to seeing, and this caused a rift with the crowd. Some really appreciated what was happening, while others loudly heckled the display of gamesmanship by these two world class technicians. Aries seemed to finally get the better of things and would open things up to striking, sending a kick into Ki's spine, causing "Ooohs" and "Aaahs" from the audience, and the Wisconsin native would then goad Ki into a brawl. Taz would question the smarts of Aries on this decision, but he showed his toughness, trying to hang with Ki and doing so convincingly until Ki's repertoire just got the better of him and Ki would land a wild, snapping kick to the external occipital protuberance of Aries, sending him down to the mat, but only for a two count. Aries would take some more strong shots from Ki until he had to head to the outside, more out of instinct than a lack of will to fight. Ki would follow him out, landing hard chops and kicks before delivering a wicked Running Front Drop Kick that sent Aries flying into the guard rail, accompanied by a banshee like scream for added effect. Ki would send Aries back into the ring and then scaled the buckles, looking for the Warrior's Way, but Aries would manage to get to his feet and fling himself towards the ropes, crotching Ki on top! "A Double" would proceed to attempt a Superplex, hooking Ki in and pulling, but Ki would fight it. Instead of forcing the issue, Aries would land some stiff left clubbing blows to the back of Ki, then pulled him down into a sort of reverse Tree of Woe. Aries would then run, banging against the opposite buckles and then rushing across, delivering a high speed Running Dropkick to the spine of Ki, crushing his abdomen and ribs into the buckles before he went tumbling to the mat! Aries calls for the end, grabbing Ki and trying for a Brainbuster after a failed pin attempt, but Ki reverses with a knee to Aries' face. Ki then sends Aries into the buckles and tumbles over, delivering the Tidal Krush to the approval of the crowd! Aries falls from the corner, dazed, and Ki rushes off the ropes, attempting a Shining Wizard, but Aries ducks it, only to have Ki catch himself and reverse the momentum and deliver a kick to Aries, taking him down and maybe knocking him out! Ki attempts a cover, and he thinks he has it, but Aries manages to will himself out at two! Ki, smelling blood in the water, so to speak, latches on with a Dragon Clutch! Ki tries to end it, but Aries manages to slip out and pulls Ki down, floating over and then delivering repeated knees to his head before latching on with the Last Chancery! Counter after counter, these guys are putting on a clinic! Ki pulls himself close to the ropes, forcing Aries to release the hold, only to pull up Ki and once again attempt the Brainbuster, but Ki manages to elbow his way out and then attempts a Cross Armbar, only to have Aries turn and send Ki into the buckles with tremendous force, breaking the hold while still standing! Ki pulls himself up in the buckles, and Aries rushes in, delivering another Corner Dropkick! Aries calls for the end again, once again going for the Brainbuster and he hits it! One, two, NO! Ki kicks out and Aries can't believe it! Aries stumbles up, pointing to the top, and heads up. Aries scales the top, but Ki is back up, and he leaps, delivering a massive Enzuigiri! Ki goes up, and hooks Aries in. Aries fights it, but Ki chops him repeatedly and then delivers a brutal headbutt! Ki then hooks him in and proceeds to deliver a Super Ki Krusher! It's all over, and the fans are wired! Ki pins Aries and gets the three count!
Winner via Pinfall: Low Ki

SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH - NO COUNT OUTS
AJ Styles and "The Young Bucks": Nick Jackson & Matt Jackson vs. "3lite": Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, and Ricochet
Earlier in the night, we see AJ Styles and the Young Bucks backstage. Styles is protesting, saying they shouldn't have to go through this match once again. He says Kurt Angle made this match before, and 3lite proved to everyone what they really are: "3 losers". They couldn't get the job done then, and they won't tonight! Matt Jackson goes to say that Shelley and Ricochet both have held singles gold, but that time has come and gone. He says both may have been in a tag team or two in the past, none of which are of note or of interest chimes in Nick Jackson, Matt says they are mistaken if they think the answers to their title woes lies in the tag team realm. There is only one supreme team in tag team wrestling today, and they are the ones holding the belts, the undisputed best, the Young Bucks. They might have the fans fooled with their little mohawks and their flashy gear, and they may think they have a shot because they beat one of the dime a dozen tag teams stinking up the ranks around these parts, but when push comes to shove and they stand in the ring with the best, they'll realize that "3lite" is out of their league. Nick Jackson goes on to say that the Young Bucks made their own lane in the tag team world, blazing a trail that no other team can or will ever be able to follow, and unfortunately for guys like Shelley and Ricochet, and so many other pointless teams around the world, it's going to be a long time before they can be toppled. The Young Bucks don't just come into a tag team division on any given roster, they automatically make whatever division their in the BEST division in the WORLD. Matt Jackson proceeds to chime in, "Game changers". AJ Styles goes on to say that much like the Young Bucks are the best at what they do, AJ Styles is the all around best professional wrestler there is today, there was yesterday, and he's going to be the best tomorrow. That's not going to change tonight, or any night, for a long, long time. He says that while everyone is having their pointless, vane debates on who the best in the world is, and who is the next to challenge AJ Styles, the fact is AJ Styles will always be the best and always was the best, with or without the title. He says as soon as he stepped into ranks here in Florida, he put this promotion on the map and automatically made it one of the top promotions ON THE PLANET. As soon as the Young Bucks hit the scene, they took a tag team division without an identity and made it the premier division IN THE WORLD. So no matter what 3lite or anybody has to say, the most valuable assets in wrestling are standing right in front of the camera, belts or no belts, and there's nobody who could replace them, and tonight, 3lite isn't going to be able to stop them.
Also earlier in the evening, we saw 3lite standing in, with Jay Lethal sporting his trademark suit and shades, while Shelley and Ricochet are wearing 3lite t-shirts with matching colored tights and mohawks. Lethal says that perception is commonly referred to as reality. The perception is when you see a guy like AJ Styles, and he's wearing that World championship belt, that must mean HE'S THE BEST! Well, upon investigation, what do you find? You find AJ Styles running and ducking from the competition, getting himself counted out LEFT AND RIGHT, then you have this SORRY EXCUSE FOR A CHAMPION BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT HE IS! WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!? AJ Styles, you may have been the best 10 years ago, but today, you should've been a former champion about a month ago, and in the future, you're definitely going to be a former champion when I'm done with ya! Talk your talk, but you're psyche out tactics, you're little mind games, they aren't fooling NOBODY! Tonight, there are no count outs! No where to run, nowhere to hide, I'll beat you low, and I'll crush you from high! Shelley then chimes in, stating that the Young Bucks must have their little girly ponytails pulled back a little too tight, cause the bloods not getting to their brains. He says if you listen to them, they invented tag team wrestling, but he says he's been wrestling on a higher level than them for a long damn time, way before anybody knew who they were, and one thing he knows, and the whole wrestling world knows, that Alex Shelley deserves is a tag team championship. He's carried many inferior partners in the past, but now he has a man to match his zest in that ring, and they are taking the rankings by storm! Ricochet goes on to say that whatever the Young Bucks can do, Ricochet can do it with an extra flip or corkscrew, and make it look a Hell of a lot better. He says the Young Bucks are yesterday's news, and the future of tag team wrestling and the state of the art in the sport stand in front of THIS CAMERA. Jay Lethal goes on to say that the so-called "game changers" barely look like they are playing the same "game" when compared next to 3lite, because 3lite are on that much higher a level. Love it or hate it, get used to it, cause 3lite is the team that's going to STOP AJ STYLES AND THE YOUNG BUCKS!
Styles and the Young Bucks were taking on heavy boos here, but they looked perfectly fine with it, keeping a very calm and cool demeanor throughout; the air of superiority was clearly radiating from them as they huddled up and talked game plan. Out to the ring then came 3lite, and the fans were really behind this team, as the more wild and outlandish looking pairing of Shelley and Ricochet gravitated around the robed and confidant looking Lethal, who sported a sideways, nearly sinister smile. Styles and the Young Bucks would storm across the ring early, attacking and taking things to the outside. This match would take place primarily on the outside, as we saw some really great spots and reversals out there, and these fans in the arena got see this battle up close and personal. The "no count out" stipulation was clearly being utilized here, but pinfalls still had to happen inside, and eventually Styles would get things back inside after catching Lethal with a low kick and then beating him nearly senseless. Styles would call for the end, looking for the Styles Clash, but Lethal would reverse, grabbing his leg and taking him down! Lethal would stomp and stomp Styles' leg, and would twist it, locking on the Figure Four Leglock in the center of the ring! The fans would cheer as Lethal upped the pressure, but into the ring would fly Nick Jackson with a Springboard Moonsault to break up the hold! Jackson would measure up Lethal, looking for a Superkick, but Lethal would catch the move and pull Nick in, delivering the Lethal Combination! Matt Jackson would fly into the ring, though, and catch him with a Corkscrew Somersault Stunner, taking him down! Jackson would go for the cover, but Ricochet would break it up with a fantastic Shooting Star Press! Styles is back up, though, and Ricochet tries for a Roundhouse Kick, only to have it ducked and get caught with the Pele Kick! Shelley is in, though, and he catches Styles with a Superkick, stunning the World Heavyweight champion, and then grabs him, looking for the Sliced Bread #2, but Styles shoves him away and then catches him with a Discus Lariat as he turns, and Styles is looking like a beast here! Styles is taunting, jumping on the ropes and mocking the fans, but as he turns, Lethal just finishes Handspringing and he's flying backwards, delivering the Lethal Injection! Styles never saw it coming, and he's down! Lethal hooks the leg, and it's one, two, THREE! Jay Lethal gets a pinfall over the World Heavyweight champion!
Winners via Pinfall: Jay Lethal, Alex Shelley, and Ricochet
Styles can't believe what has happened, as Lethal stands before him, holding the World Heavyweight title, as Shelley and Ricochet stand behind him holding up the 3lite hand signal. Lethal throws down the belt, saying it's going to be his soon enough, as the Young Bucks reach in and grab Styles, who just seems stunned and shocked that Lethal managed to get the better of him. Styles seems to be seeing his title reign coming to an end, but that might make him even more dangerous as he begins to feel like a caged animal. One thing is for certain, if Jay Lethal wasn't confidant about his chances against AJ Styles before, he certainly is now as he prepares to get his now soon to be realized dream of a World Heavyweight title shot at the next show.
