EVIL fights in a grappling ground style, and Ospreay moves high and fast as the Aerial Assassin, a style combination that has constantly entertained in this tournament. This match was no different. Red Shoes Unno refereed.

Ospreay fired up the audience before EVIL took the fight to him with a quickness. Ospreay decided to throw EVIL around by his neck until the thicker man rolled out of the ring and grabbed a chair.

Ospreay gave the chair to Unno to get it out of the ring, and EVIL took the moment to catch Ospreay for a nasty looking slam on the ring apron. EVIL grabbed a second chair and completed his Home Run to beat Ospreay's neck and gain the upper hand.

EVIL kept his momentum with thick muscle and tremendously cool hair as he attempted to submit Ospreay. Ospreay delivered a handful of chops and reversed EVIL's German suplex into a stunner that stunned the audience into spontaneous yelling and clapping.

A Pip Pip Cheerio was Ospreay's gift to EVIL, but it wasn't a parting gift as the LIJ member broke a pinfall attempt. He tried to keep Ospreay in the corners and up on the ropes, and Ospreay took that momentum away from EVIL even though EVIL tried to use Unno against him.

Ospreay's neck was tender, and when he went flying, EVIL didn't stay down. In fact, EVIL met Ospreay's offense with misdirection and a lariat. They traded elbow strikes on their knees in the middle of the ring as they dragged themselves up.

EVIL's Darkness Falls finisher connected, and he nearly grabbed the victory. Ospreay met EVIL's Everything Is Evil finisher with a reverse DDT and a Spanish Fly. His OsCutter finisher didn't end the match.

Still Ospreay fought, reversing EVIL's finisher attempts and eating a lariat. Once EVIL finally completed Everything Is EVIL, he swiped the night's two points out of Ospreay's hands.

Results: EVIL (8) def. Will Ospreay (4) via pinfall
