- Evil Uno defeated Allan ‘V’ Angels. Evil Uno was playing the heel to Allan’s face. The crowd didn’t want them to feud. Members of the Dark Order that were seen earlier in the tapings came out and were questioning how aggressive Uno was with Angels.
- The Acclaimed defeated Shawn Dean and Robert Anthony. This is Max Caster’s first match back. He started to read a prepared rap, but tore up the paper it was written on and did his own, which the crowd cheered for.
- Big Swole defeated Diamante in a three strikes match. The rules of the three strikes match were a 2 out of 3 falls match where the winner could win via pinfall, submission, or knockout. Big Swole won the deciding fall after knocking out Diamante with a chain.
- Jurassic Express defeated Chaos Project
- After the match, CM Punk came out once again and closed the tapings with Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, and Marko Stunt. He started to thank everyone and mentioned how people liked singing, and had the crowd singing the theme song from The Golden Girls. He mentioned that last week in Milwaukee that he had told people that if they did not like the show, to “shut the f*** up”. He said we don’t mind the criticism. He said he was no longer the voice of the voiceless because everyone here has a voice. He said what he meant by that statement is that if you had nothing interesting to add, we don’t need you. At the end of the day, y'all all our bosses, and if you like what you see, let us know.
