Match 1 TJP w/ Fallah Bahh VS Rohit Raju VS Chris Bey (Champion) for the X Division Title
Rohit promises Bey he will make this a 2 on 1 match. We will see if that is indeed the case. TJP takes out both Bey and Raju on the outside with a leap over the ropes. Rohit recovers and climbs back in the ring only to be tossed back to the outside with a head scissors from the ring. Bey comes in and scissors TJP to the mat. Bey and TJP trade aerial moves. Rohit grabs TJP’s legs from the outside, giving Bey a chance to leap from the top with a leg drop to the top of TJP’s head. Rohit enters as Bey goes to the ground and lays in strong style fists to the face on TJP. TJP finally kicks Rohit to the mid section and locks Bey in a standing leg crab. Rohit comes to his rescue, but gets tied up by TJP with a version of the abdominal stretch. Rohit gets away and takes him down. Bey locks on a choke hold, but TJP reverses it and does an arm breaker. Rohit then makes the save again. Rohit methodically works him over in the corner, while Fallah starts to get angry on the outside.
After TJP puts on another impressive hold on both, resulting in a chicken wing on Bey and Rohit in a crab. WOW. Rohit escapes and saves Bey again, driving a elbow to the back of the neck. Bey accidently knees Rohit. Rohit falls to the outside. This gives TJP a chance to work one on one. He does a running cutter off the corner, top rope. He then hits a Tombstone. Then goes to the top, but Rohit tosses him off. Rohit is slow to get to the top rope himself, giving TJP time to recover and join him. He sets up a superplex on Rohit, then Bey comes under and sets up the TJP for a Road Warrior Lariat off the top, TJP blocks it and grabs Rohit and hits a suplex off the top. He then locks Rohit and Bey and an Octopus. He has the hands locked. This is cool. They escape. Rohit and TJP trade blows in the center of the ring. This match is incredible.

Trey gets picked up and begins to fight back. He runs the ropes and gets hit with another Moose drop kick. Moose then scratches his mouth and nose.

Moose catches Trey and sets him up for a suplex, but Trey reverses the move and hits a DDT.

Just then Brian Myers grabs Jacobs and tells him nobody cares about what Willie is saying. He is coming with him. He makes Jimmy sit down and conduct an interview. Brian says he has listened to everyone for their benefit for too long. He is taking this business now in his hands. He is tired of listening to a 70 year old man tell him he is a good hand. He says all that got him was fired, while his wife is 6 months pregnant with their 3rd child. He is now doing this for himself. This run is for him. Willie then attacks Myers as we go to break.
