Shane Thorne vs Bronson Reed
Thorne came into the match bursting out of the gate, launching Reed into the corner with a shotgun dropkick. Another running dropkick and a cannonball in the corner continued to build his momentum, which was immediately shut down thanks to a massive lariat from Reed followed by a running senton.

The two men traded chops, with Reed getting the better of his Australian compatriot. Thorne got back on top with a roundhouse kick to the head and a belly-to-back suplex, earning a two-count. Reed was battered by an array of kicks but withstood the pain. Catching a running boot, Reed rocked his opponent with a punch and spiked him with a German suplex.
A sunset driver only earned Reed a near fall. Reed was set up on the top rope, but as Thorne attempted a super hurricanrana, Reed shoved him out of the air mid-jump. Reed finished him off with a big body splash.
