Willie Mack answered the challenge. Mack took early control of the match, frustrating the champion and leaving him wondering if his open challenge was a mistake. The men traded offense inside and outside the ring in the early going, with Willie Mack getting the best of Rohit.
Once the two men were back in the ring, Rohit took control of the match, offering a barrage of kicks and ground and pound offensive moves. Mack was able to withstand the offensive onslaught, hitting a standing moonsault and attempting a pinfall. After showing his championship mettle, Rohit responded with a crossface submission that Mack was able to survive.
After trading blows near the end of the match, Rohit and Willie collided and the former rolled to the outside of the ring. Rohit stayed down outside of the ring following the collision and was counted out.
It looks as though the champion used his champion's advantage to retain his title.
Result: Willie Mack wins via count-out. Rohit Raju retains X-Division Title
Grade: B+
