Silas Young comes to the ring with a young man behind him. Young introduces him as Baxter Bellafonte, a Milwaukee native. Young says they’re going to put on a wrestling exhibition. He calls Bobby Cruz into the ring so he can hold the mic. Young locks in a few holds on Bellafonte and pulls his hair. He also uses a fish hook to demonstrate some rules of the ring.

Kenny King vs. Jay Lethal
King and Lethal shake hands. King matches Lethal’s every step before exiting the ring. He takes Lethal down with a shoulder tackle and counters to counter the former champion at every turn. King chops Lethal but gets hit with a dropkick to the back. King catches a diving Lethal and drives him into the ring post. He tosses Lethal into the barricade. King grounds Lethal with a chin lock and transitions into another hold.
Lethal can’t maintain any momentum because King keeps countering him. King pokes Lethal in the eye but the former champion starts to rally. A springboard dropkick knocks Lethal off the apron but a DDT plants King on his head. Both men exchange punches and Lethal chops King. Lethal hits a springboard dropkick and a suicide dive. The former champion nails an elbow drop for a near fall. King almost gets the win with a Blue Thunder Bomb but Lethal kicks out. Lethal counters the Royal Flush but King low blows him and pins the former champion after hitting Lethal Injection.
Winner: Kenny King
