Jeez locks in a knee-assisted straightjacket, but YUMA fights out and delivers a series of punches, as well as a running hip attack and a jumping kick for a close 2 count.

YUMA goes to the top rope, and Jeez jumps up there as well. YUMA shoves him away, but Jeez lands on his feet and ducks YUMA’s flying kick. YUMA looks for a hip attack, but Jeez avoids it and delivers the Conversion Brainbuster and a Frog Splash. He adds on a Heart Punch and picks up the victory.

Following his victory in a cage match at By Any Means Necessary, NWA Champion Trevor Murdoch was taking pictures with some fans when Mike Knox made his appearance and locked himself in the cage with Murdoch, beating the champ severely with chairs and choking him with his shirt.

The End VS Hawx Aerie (Tag Team Title Tournament Final)

Parrow starts off against Luke Hawx, with Luke attempting and failing a shoulder tackle on the bigger Parrow. The two shout insults and taunts at each other before Luke stomps on Parrow’s toes and tags in PJ Hawx, who immediately gets grabbed around the throat.

Parrow beats the chest of PJ while taunting Luke, and he shoves Luke off the apron before tagging in Odinson and picking PJ up. PJ escapes his grasp and shoves him into Odinson, before tagging in Luke, who uses incredibly fast kicks to stun the members of The End.

Luke goes for a hurricanrana, but Parrow catches him and hoists him up onto his shoulders, and Odinson climbs to the top rope and the two deliver the Doomsday Device to pick up the victory and win the Tag Team Title Tournament.
