Boulder executed a Samoan drop-fallaway slam combo on both M'Badu and Baron Black. Boulder missed a moonsault press, which allowed M'Badu to hit a strike from the top.

Angles was the MVP as he hit a flurry of high-impact moves on all three members. It seemed like a one-person show until Skyler hit a big kick.
