They end up on the floor next and Thorpe is pushed into Saints by Page. Saints loses it and the ref tosses him. Page taunts the champ as he leaves. Back from a tv break, Page has King in a crab. Thorpe jumps on King and puts on a crossface. Lee breaks it up. King knocks Thorpe off the top rope. We then see and incredible 4 man whisper in the wind. Lee took the dive off the top. He then goes to the top, but King throws him to the floor and swantons Thorpe. Lee hits a meteora off the top on Thorpe next. Pins were broken up after every high spot. Page hits a twisted grin on King and it is over.

Tyson and Tyriek are all over Hank to start the match, but Tank tags in and they double Tyson and hit a high low move and it is over. The Culling (Niko Vance and Brooks Jensen) head out next. Vance and Jensen come out hot, but Hank and Tank overcome that and they just overpower Niko and Jensen with a series of double splashes. They only can muster a two before another tv break. Apparently Jensen and Niko face planted Hank into the announce desk from the apron during the break. He is taking a beating, but delivers a clothesline and tags in Tank, but the ref didn’t see it and the beating continues. Hank is bleeding from the mouth. Hank slips a suplex attempt and tags Tank. He comes in Hot and shoulders, lariats and punches both Culling members. Jensen finally lands a spin kick as Tank was coming off the top. The Culling go for a top rope double team, but Tank reverses the move into a crossbody off Niko’s shoulders and pins Jensen. Out next is the NQCC head out. Tavion Heights and Myles Borne jump Hank and Tank right away. They continue with power based tandem moves. Borne also lands a massive blind dropkick on Hank. Tavion goes to the ground and pound next. Hank finally tags in. He picks up the momentum and then crushes Tavion the outside. Borne then suicide dives on Hank and Tank on the floor as we go to break. Tavion and Hank trade suplexes in the ring. Hank saves a pin attempt after a Tavion clothesline. Hank then pulls Borne out of the ring and Tank rolls up Tavion for the pin. Out last comes Briggs and Inamura. Hank and Tank are gassed. Inamura lands a suplex for two on Hank. Briggs enters and he taunts Hank and pulls his hair. He then punt kicks Hank and sidewalks him. Inamura then chops Hank repeatedly in the corner, followed by a Briggs boot to the face. After a chokeslam onto the knee of Inamura, Hank looks done, but NO, Hank rolls up Briggs and it is over.
Winners and #1 contenders, Hank and Tank. We see The Champs, Fraxiom backstage looking on.
We get a Jaida Parker backstory next. She cuts a spirited promo on her life.
The D’Angelo Family (minus Tony) meet DarkState in a parking lot brawl.
This isn’t a match and is also cinematic. They come with weapons and they use them on each other all over the outside and work their win. We have no announcers in this match. People are thrown threw walls, into lockers and more. Fire extinguishers are even sprayed in faces. The underboss is speared into a garage door and then Tony D’Angelo pulls up in a car and comes out with a crowbar and runs off DarkState after beating them with it. Tony then tells off Stacks for going over his head. Stacks and Tony embrace and a match is set between the two groups for Stand and Deliver.
