Karl Anderson w/Doc Gallows and Violent By Design (Eric Young, Deaner, Joe Doering) vs. Heath w/Rhino, Rich Swann, Willie Mack, Eddie Edwards
The winner of this one gets the advantage in Hardcore War at Hard To Kill and this should be a really good one.
Heath started it off with a headache and allows grabbed his foot in the ropes, and more referees came out to keep the calm as everyone was ready to brawl. Both teams were sent to the back.
Back to one on one, Heath took the early advantage with some body blows and throwing Anderson into the corner to work him over.
On the floor, Anderson ran Heath into the ring steps and ring post and then went to work on Heath’s left arm in the ring.
Heath fought back and hit some strikes and an atomic drop as he built momentum and hit a heel kick for a near pinfall.
Anderson sidestepped and Heath hit the ring post through the ropes, and Anderson hit a cutter for the win.

VBD came out and hammered Heath with a trash can lid and trash can before Swann, Mack, and Edwards came out and total mayhem broke loose as everything from a trash can to the VBD flag and kendo sticks were used.
Heath choked out Anderson on the ramp and the carnage continued to close out the show.
This was a great ending to the show to ready us for Hard To Kill on Saturday. Of course, as Heath fans we would’ve liked to see him win, but oh well.
