Cameron Grimes vs Kushida

Kushida latched onto Cameron Grimes at the beginning, out wrestling the NXT Breakout Superstar. Grimes escaped his grasp, only to get caught in a hip toss into a cross armbreaker. Kushida connected with a vicious armbreaker, sending Grimes outside where he was met with a dropkick through the ropes.

An octopus stretch on the inside further damaged Grimes' shoulder. Grimes eventually got some offense in after countering another armbreaker, slamming Kushida's head on the mat. He and Kushida traded strikes, leading to a chain of arm drags which saw Grimes dumped to the floor. He rushed back in and turned Kushida inside out with a mid-air powerslam.

Grimes battered Kushida for quite a while, focusing on his spine. A bow and arrow backbreaker and a stretch left the Time Splitter in a serious amount of pain. However, he was able to get back into the bout quickly with a handspring back elbow. A tilt-a-whirl reverse DDT set up for the cross armbreaker. Grimes rolled to the ropes.

Kushida continued to wear down the arm, but was caught in another tilt-a-whirl for a spin out sidewalk slam. A deadlift German suplex earned Grimes a nearfall. Kushida evaded the Cave In and sent Grimes out once again with a handspring double heel kick. A rolling senton from the top sandwiched Grimes between the floor and Kushida.

On the inside, Grimes fought off the Hoverboard Lock on the top rope. Kushida rushed in with another handspring double heel kick. Instead of locking in the Hoverboard Lock again, he and Grimes spiraled down to the mat with a victory roll slam. Grimes kicked out and was able to connect with the Cave In.

Results: Cameron Grimes defeated Kushida via pinfall.
