Tag Team Turmoil
No. 1 Contendership for the World Tag Team Championship at November Reigns
Jung Dragons (Akio Yang & Kaz Hayashi) | Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido & Tony Mamaluke)
Simon & Swinger | Super Nova & Blue Meanie | David Flair & Crowbar

The Jung Dragons and the FBI started the turmoil and neither wanted to be the first one out. The fans in attendance immediately got into it and began ribbing the FBI with classic taunts like "WE WANT A PIZZA." At first this rattled Guido and Mamaluke who would block their hears and hum, but soon it fired them as they began to isolate Kaz Hayashi and not allow him to make a tag to his partner, Akio. Mamaluke held Kaz in a cartwheel waiting for Guido to jump off the middle rope for an assisted Sicilian Slice, but Kaz rolled up Mamaluke and Guido crashed into the canvas, allowing Kaz to make the hot tag to Akio. Akio hit the FBI with a flurry of high spots and even the score for the Jung Dragons. The pace picked up and for the next few minutes saw a lot of back and forth action between the two cruiserweight teams.

Winners: FBI
