Danny Burch vs Tony Nese

Burch brought Nese down with ease and teased the Premier Athlete with his signature biceps taunt. Nese's hand was crushed beneath Burch's boot as the Guvnor kept the former Cruiserweight Champion on the mat.

Nese had a hard time getting out of the gate, as Burch was able to cut him off at every path. Even sending Burch outside, the elite British Brawler was able to rock Nese with a roaring elbow strike. Nese was bounced off the barricade and struggled to get inside the ring.

Burch was finally dropped to the mat when he moved up to the second rope. Nese yanked his leg out, sending him crashing. Finally getting a chance to get in some offense, Nese was able to hit the springboard moonsault for a nearfall.

However, Nese's gloating allowed Burch to get back in the match, connecting with a missile dropkick to the chest of Nese. A series of back elbows and European uppercuts set up Burch for an exploder suplex and a powerful right hand to the jaw. Nese barely escaped the pinfall.

A headbutt stunned Nese, but he countered a German suplex attempt, landing on his feet and connecting with a pinpoint dropkick to Burch's head as he met the mat. Nese moved to the top for the 450 Splash, only for Burch to stop it. The Tower of London almost secured the win.

Nese was immediately trapped in a crossface. He eventually made it to the ropes. Nese then dumped Burch outside and followed up with the Fosbury Flop. Back on the inside, the 450 Splash missed.

Another crossface was locked in, with Nese in the middle of the ring. The former champion again managed to break away. Burch trapped him in a triangle choke, but Nese picked him up for a buckle bomb, following that with the Running Nese for the pinfall.

Results: Tony Nese defeated Danny Burch via pinfall.
