Gedo and his friendly kendo stick accompanied Fale to the ring, and Archer’s entrance took down all of the young lions in his path. Commentary let us know: “Hey don’t worry, we’ll grow more.” Both men won their first matches and look to take an early lead on Day 2 with a win.

Fale is a tank in every situation, and Archer’s seething hate-fuelled his attacks on every side of the tank. Fale took the fight into the crowd and garnered the boos he so craves. Back in the ring, Fale literally walked all over Archer, but Archer’s sheer rage brought him back to life. That didn’t stop Gedo from interfering stick-first.

Archer kicked out of Fale’s superplex and took Fale’s Grenade for his trouble. More interference couldn’t keep Archer down, and he delivered a chokeslam to the Rogue General before his EBD Claw finisher ended Fale’s chance at 2 more points.

EBD means Everybody Dies, and we're sure to not forget it.

Result: Lance Archer (4) def. Bad Luck Fale (2)
