Brian Pillman Jr. kicked off the big-time tag team match against Aaron Solo. Pillman looked like the better grappler as he trapped Solo on the mat.

Both men got to a vertical base and exchanged chops. Garrison got the blind tag and helped with a neckbreaker-leg drop combo with his partner.

Solo escaped a chin lock but got brought back down with a back elbow. Pillman came back in and executed a spinebuster-dropkick combination for a one-count over Solo.

Comoroto finally got the tag, and he quickly overpowered Pillman. Solo tried to mess with Julia Hart at ringside but received a hard slap in response.

Aaron cut the ring in half and worked on Pillman in the squared circle. The Factory members made quick tags and prevented Pillman from tagging out of the match. Comoroto targetted Pillman's lower back area.

Pillman finally evaded a few shots and opened up an opportunity to tag Garrison.

Big Griff cleaned house with two clotheslines and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Aaron Solo. He landed the splash and a high boot, followed by an epic flatliner for a near fall.

Nick Comoroto got the tag and ran through Garrison with a vicious spear. Garrison stayed in the match but somehow got caught in the Military press.

Garrison escaped, executed a roll-up, and quickly tagged out to Pillman. Garrison reentered and connected with a rolling elbow strike while Pillman grabbed onto Comoroto's legs.

Pillman dropped Comoroto into a sunset flip following the impact and got the three-count. Big win for the Blonds!
