Kenny Omega vs. Solomon Crowe
Having these two men jerk the curtain first is a true testament to the amount of talent currently in NWA Lonestar. Both men used an array of strikes before Callihan gained control with a deadlift Saito suplex. Omega would battle back after a Flash Man’s Time Stopper and hit a Dragon Rebirth for a near fall. Omega eventually caught Callihan with the One-Winged Angel to end the opening contest.
Ivelisse Velez vs. Mia Yim
Velez and Yim are no strangers to one another and this match was full of counters and stiff strikes. Velez proved to be the aggressor and nearly took the match with the Flaming Arrow but Yim would show her resolve by refusing to keep her shoulder down and making a huge comeback after countering the Desert Eagle for a near fall. Velez would counter back with a Scorpion Kick after a heated exchange of strikes before taking the match with the Disdain.
Tommaso Ciampa vs. Kenneth Cameron
Ciampa controlled this match from the outset and rarely looked in trouble as Cameron seemed to have trouble finding his offense. Ciampa leveled Cameron with a lariat for a near fall but had his subsequent German suplex attempt countered into a German suplex from Cameron. Ciampa would then counter a vertical suplex from Cameron and regain control after a devastating high knee before finishing things with the Project Ciampa.
Davey Richards vs. ACH
ACH would start out this match quickly as he connected with the Sonic Boom and the Kamehameha Wave. Richards would take control following a counter into the Alarm Clock and a Tiger suplex. ACH would fight back and catch Richards with the Free Bird Crossbody before nailing Richards at ringside with the Air Jordan. Richards countered with a snap suplex into the barricade before hitting his signature running kick from the apron. ACH laid in a crumpled heap at ringside before Richards tossed him into the ring and hit a folding powerbomb. ACH surprised everyone as he rolled his shoulder at the last possible moment. Richards simply howled to the moon and drilled ACH with the Creeping Death as he tried to get back to his feet to end the match.
Kazuchika Okada vs. Michael Elgin
Elgin controlled the beginning of the contest with his unmatched power before Okada could counter with a dropkick. Okada continued to push and connected with a German suplex but nothing was keeping Elgin down. Elgin battled back with devastating lariats to set up his Delayed Vertical Suplex. Okada had the blood rushing to his head for well over 15 seconds but somehow kicked out at the count of two. Elgin quickly looked for the turnbuckle powerbomb but Okada countered with a hurricanrana. Elgin was to his feet first but missed a spinning backfist and was dropped on his head with a backdrop suplex. Okada followed up with the Heavy Rain but Elgin rolled his shoulder just before the referee slapped the mat for the third time. Okada quickly looked for the Rainmaker but Elgin ducked under the lariat and quickly went for another German suplex. Okada countered with a leg trap rollup for another two count and then shoved a rising Elgin into the ropes before grabbing the rear waistlock and delivering the Rainmaker for the win.
Seth Rollins vs. Leati Anoa’i
Anoa’i looked much more fluid in the ring than he did in his previous matches in NWA Lonestar but Rollins proved that Anoa’i still has a long way to go. Rollins used his quickness and well-placed kicks to keep the bigger man at bay while Anoa’i relied on his power, though he connected infrequently. Rollins would score near falls with both the Skywalker and the Paroxysm but Anoa’i fought back with a Superman Punch from nowhere and then set his sights on a spear. Rollins avoided the Spear and quickly caught Anoa’i with the Avada Kedavra. Anoa’i slowly began to stir but the Peace of Mind ended his night and his recent successes in NWA Lonestar.
