Tony Nese vs Cedric Alexander
The Charlotte, NC crowd popped big for the hometown hero Cedric Alexander as he made his way to the ring to face Tony Nese who was accompanied by Drew Gulak. Cedric had the upper hand in the opening stages as he hit Nese with a sweet hurracanrana before a distraction by Gulak led to Nese getting and opening and chop blocking Alexander’s knee from behind.
Nese then locked in a headlock but Cedric fought out of it and hit a series of strikes followed by his trademark springboard headstand enzeguiri which he followed with another enzeguiri. As Cedric went to the top rope, Gulak got on the apron. Cedric took Gulak out but got hit by Nese’s finisher – a modified pumphandle slam.
Nese then covered the hometown hero for the win.
