Things have picked up in the slightest sense over the last few weeks as a minor feud has broken out. I wouldn’t expect it to go much further than that but I’ll take what I can get at this point. We now have a full on heel Cruiserweight Champion with lackeys and he’ll need a challenger after Drake Maverick. Maybe someone on here can be built up in that way. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Ever Rise vs. Leon Ruff/Adrian Alanis
Martel armdrags Ruff down to start so it’s off to Parker vs. Alanis. The armdrags into the armbar put Parker down and it’s right back to the other two. This time Ruff gets in his own armbar but it’s right back to Martel for a running elbow in the corner. The top wristlock keeps Ruff down for a few seconds until he’s over to Alanis for the hot tag. That doesn’t go well either and it’s Martel holding Alanis up for a running Codebreaker from Parker for the pin at 4:25.
Result: Ever Rise b. Leon Ruff/Adrian Alanis – Assisted Codebreaker to Parker (4:25)
Getting to know them:
We recap Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch’s mixed results against Tehuti Miles.
We look at Isaiah Scott beating Jack Gallagher but getting beaten down after.
We look at Hijo del Fantasma turning heel by attacking Jack Gallagher, joining forces with Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde and unmasking as Santos Escobar.
Tehuti Miles/Tony Nese/Jack Gallagher vs. Oney Lorcan/Danny Burch/Isaiah Scott
Miles tags himself in to start, much to Gallagher’s annoyance, so Burch elbows him in the face. It’s off to Lorcan and then Scott in the span of a second as the arm cranking continues. Nese comes in and gets headlocked down by Scott, followed by a headscissors from Lorcan. Back up and Gallagher comes in, allowing Nese to snap Lorcan’s throat across the top. The villains take over, including a suplex/middle rope dropkick combination for two.
Miles’ hard clothesline gets two and we hit the chinlock. That doesn’t last long so Miles goes with a flapjack, but hang on as he needs to check his hair. The delay allows the tag off to Scott so the pace can pick up. The rolling Downward Spiral gets two on Miles with Gallagher making the save. Burch throws Scott into the corner to dropkick Miles as everything breaks down. Nese’s spinning kick to the face gets two on Burch but Miles checks his hair again. That’s too much for Gallagher, who walks out because he’s not babysitting kids. Nese goes to talk him out of it as Burch headbutts Miles. The Confidence Boost finishes at 7:43.
Result: Danny Burch/Oney Lorcan/Isaiah Scott b. Tehuti Miles/Tony Nese/Jack Gallagher – Confidence Boost to Miles (7:43)
