Grey's bodyslam was countered by Atlas, who pulled Grey though with a cravate hold. Grey fought out of the hold after a few minutes but was then taken down with a backslide pin for a two-count. Both were tired of the wrestling at this point and were ready for a fight. Atlas won the war of blows, rocking Grey with an ax kick. A neckbreaker dropped Grey for a near fall.
The aggression picked up on 205 Live, with Grey and Atlas trading chops and rights. A big boot nearly knocked Grey's nose off, and Atlas followed up with a series of roundhouse and a standing moonsault. Grey managed to break away, but was unable to escape the flurry. Uppercuts, German suplexes and more left Grey always on his backfoot.
A discus clothesline rocked Grey for another close call. Grey managed to get a surprising upset, though, hitting Atlas with a top rope crossbody.
