Lio Rush vs. Angel Garza

After Garza failed to win the coveted title from Rush in their previous encounter, he went all out tonight in hopes of becoming the champion. The Mexican luchador's resilience reaped rewards for him as he became the new Cruiserweight champion after forcing Rush into submission.

Garza will look forward to reign over the cruiserweight division and it remains to be seen where Rush will go from here.
