Back in the ring, King kept up the pressure and distracted the ref for Wilde to choke her out on the bottom rope.
King followed it with a clothesline for a near pinfall.
Masha caught her charge with a boot and hit a series of different kicks and went for a pin after a spin heel kick.
They traded blows in the center of the ring with Masha getting the better of it and nearly getting a pinfall.
While the ref was checking on King, Wilde threw Masha into the ring post and then told King to finish her.
Killer Kelly came out and wrapped a chain around Wilde’s throat on the ramp, and Masha took advantage with a spinning kick and a Snow Plow for the win.
After the match, Masha and Kelly stood across from each other and Kelly wore the chain around her neck, and Masha tied the other end around hers making them a team as they left the ring.

A really cool documentary of Scott D’Amore followed, and it covered some great moments in his career and how he’s influenced so many people throughout his career.
Yuya Uemura vs. Kenny King w/Sheldon Jean
Joe Hendry was in the production truck and it looked like he has something special planned for King.
In the ring, King and Yuya traded arm locks and Yuya chopped him down.
As Yuya took over, King went into the ropes to slow it down, and then went around the ref for a cheap shot, and threw Yuya off when he went for a bulldog.
King followed it with a kick and near pinfall.

Yuya hit a forearm and bulldog for a near pinfall.
King finally managed to hit the Royal Flush for the win, but his celebration didn’t last long as Hendry came out and keyed up his new song for King.

It covered how King was wrestling for a long time and discovered he found out he was a male stripper in 2013 and he admitted it on Renee’s podcast and the fans started chanting “Stripper Kenny”.
Aldis set the record straight with a little help
Nick Aldis came out to explain his actions but asked Alex Shelley to come out so he can explain it to his face.
Shelley gave him grief since it’s his ring, and Aldis ripped into him for superkicking his mouthpiece and then told him to sit in the crowd with the fans.
Shelley pointed out it’s not an insult and it’s an honor to sit with the fans and he took his spot so Aldis has a safe working environment.
Aldis criticized him for how Shelley managed the ten man tag match and how Sabin tagged in Shelley instead of him to embarrass him.

He then called Shelley out for acting like a hero or fake revolutionary for running this business for ten years and have worked to get rid of people like Aldis.
Aldis talked about how he represents the tradition of the business and he’s there to stop Shelley from ruining it.
He said he can’t just beat Shelley but he had to embarrass him and more, and Shelley told him to shut up.
Shelley challenged him to come to him and shut his mouth, and Aldis headed to the floor and removed his jacket and they went after each other with Shelley having the upper hand early on, but Aldis ripped at his eyes and threw him into the steps and ring post.
Adlis grabbed the title and readied to nail Shelley with it again when Sabin came out and took the title away.

Lio Rush hit Sabin from behind and then went after Shelley and Aldis jumped in.
Aldis then hit Shelley with the title belt again, and Rush did the same to Sabin with the X-Division title.
