Eli Drake vs Moose
They cut the video several times, the two first at ringside before they get back in and Eli hits an elbow drop for a quick two count. Moose comes back with a running dropkick in the corner before hitting Go to Hell for a near fall, th🅷en Eli hits a uranage for a quick two count when he ducks a boot by Moose. They exchange strikes until Moose hits a series of chops only for Eli to drop him with a clothesline. Moose gets back up and clotheslines Eli before Eli misses a moonsault and sends Moose shoulder first into the ring post before hitting a superplex for a near fall. Moose then counters the Gravy Train before hitting a spear for the pin and the win.
Winner: Moose defeats Eli Drake via pinfall with a spear to gain a shot at Austin Aries' championship at Slammiversary.
