Backstage, Willie Mack and Rich Swann were celebrating the win when they were interrupted by Johnny Swinger. The Swing Man congratulated his "long-time" Mack & Pack Connection friend and was excited for an opportunity at the X-Division Championship down the line. Mack reminded Swinger that:
A- they were never a tag team, and
B- he never promised him a title shot.
Swinger took Mack's "joke" in tried and hoped to go out celebrating with Swann and Mack. Sadly, he got ditched.
Kiera Hogan vs Kylie Rae
Kiera Hogan wasn't a fan of Kylie Rae and her smiling. Hogan attempted to bully Rae early on, but was quickly taken down with her STF, Smile To The Finish. Though Hogan made it to the ropes, she was again taken down by Rae.
The Kylie Special was countered with a running forearm that left Rae hanging in the ropes. A step up legdrop smashed Rae's face off the mat, earning Hogan a two-count. Hogan choked out Rae in the corner as we cut to commercial.
When we returned, Hogan connected with her rounding corner dropkick. Rae's face was bounced off the top turnbuckle, and was met with a running forearm in the ropes. Rae responded with one, leading to the two Knockouts trading forearms. They then moved on to trading superkicks, leading to both falling to the mat.
They didn't let up, fighting from their knees back to their feet. Rae began building a head of steam with a series of clotheslines and the Kylie Special. Another superkick earned Rae a two-count.
Hogan managed to catch Rae flush with a roundhouse kick that nearly gave her the win over the new Knockout. However, Rae kicked out and countered the fisherman's backbreaker with a suplex. A running uppercut and a cannonball senton saw Hogan kick out at two.
The Smile To The Finish was eventually locked in, forcing the submission.
Results: Kylie Rae defeated Kiera Hogan via submission.
Grade: B+
