Michael Elgin vs. Rich Swann
Elgin easily bullied Swann early, overpowering him and tanking strong strikes from the X-Division Champion. Big Mike stood tall after two shoulder tackles and landed on his feet after a Hurricanrana attempt from Swann. Swann finally landed some serious offense with a dropkick to the jaw and a Hurricanrana, sending Elgin onto his back.
Swann chopped Elgin in the ropes, but Elgin caught the handspring cutter. Swann escaped his grasp but was left crotched in the turnbuckle and clobbered in the back of the head with a rolling forearm. A nasty German suplex saw Swan land face first, nearly perpendicular to the ring mat. Somehow he kicked out, but that seemed to be out of instinct.
Elgin drove Swann chest first into the turnbuckle, and at this point, Elgin probably could've ended it. However, he wanted to continue to punish Swann for trying to avenge Willie Mack. Swann caught him with a boot in the corner and shoved him off the top rope to the mat. However, as he went for a crossbody, he was met by a standing dropkick. Swann kicked out at two.
Finally, Swann rocked Elgin with a hard right hand. Elgin shook it off and set up for the Elgin Bomb, but Swann countered into a tilt-a-whirl DDT. Elgin ran at him, but Swann leapfrogged, sending him to the outside. A running senton over the top rope and a corkscrew senton rocked the Unbreakable One. Swann wasn't done and went up top for a Swanton, landing on top of a standing Elgin.
Elgin was rolled inside, but could not avoid a big elbow drop from the top rope from the X-Division Champion.
Back from commercial break, Elgin avoided the Phoenix Splash, but Swann landed on his feet. Elgin brought him into the corner for a Diamond Dust and a Michinoku Driver. Swann kicked out. Elgin picked Swann up and pelted him with three massive clotheslines. Swann looked to be out on his feet but countered the fourth with a superkick and a spinning back kick.
Elgin managed to catch Swann coming off the ropes with a fourth clothesline and a tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam. Swann kicked out. Elgin took Swann up top, setting up for a huge power move. Swann fought out but was caught going for a Hurricanrana. Elgin tried for the Elgin Bomb but was launched with a Hurricanrana anyway.
A handspring cutter connected and a 450 Splash from the second rope seemingly signalled the end. Still, Elgin kicked out. Swann, with nothing left in his arsenal, went for the Phoenix Splash. Elgin rolled out, causing him to land face first. A running clothesline and an Elgin Bomb, somehow, wasn't enough to put away Rich Swann.
Elgin sent Swann into the turnbuckle with a buckle bomb and went for another Elgin Bomb. Swann countered, spiking Elgin with two reverse Hurricanranas and another spinning back kick. Elgin kicked out.
Swann followed Elgin outside and tried to drive him into the steel post with a Hurricanrana. Elgin caught him, driving him spine first with a powerbomb into the post. A second powerbomb forced the referee to step in. He went out and told Elgin that if he continued, he'd be disqualified. Elgin shoved him away and hit another vicious powerbomb.
Results: Rich Swann defeated Michael Elgin via disqualification.
Willie Mack made the save as Elgin tried to continue the punishment. A Samoan Drop and standing moonsault left Elgin crawling to the corner. Before Mack could finish his assault, he was stopped by Johnny Impact. Impact delivered a springboard kick to the jaw, laying out Mack, then drove his knee into the face of Rich Swann.
Impact and Elgin stared each other down to end the show.
