Josh Alexander defeated Steve Maclin. This was fair in terms on one-on-one. Alexander’s goons were not in the venue, and Eric Young promised to watch Maclin’s back just in case. However, it was hardly a fair fight. When Alexander inadvertently swung Maclin’s legs into knocking down the referee, he took advantage to kick Mr. Mayhem in the groin. Alexander then zip tied Maclin’s hands behind his back. Maclin still managed to fight back without the use of his hands. As Alexander gloated in the corner, Maclin knocked him down into the Tree of Woe and struck with a spear. Maclin followed for a suicide dive on the outside and running knee strikes on the inside. The referee tried to cut Maclin free, but he refused to slow down. Maclin didn’t want to spoil his hot momentum. Alexander corralled Maclin for a tombstone piledriver. Kick out by Maclin. German suplex by Alexander. Maclin popped to his feet for a headbutt. Alexander was on the mat and wisely snatched Maclin’s leg for an ankle lock. Maclin couldn’t defend against the takedown, and he passed out from the pain on the submission.

The System wanted to hurt Santana, so Dango entered the ring with a steel chain. Santana dodged the loaded punch, Dango stopped short of clobbering Moose, then Santana cleaned Dango’s clock with a discus lariat. Moose exploded for a spear in a bang-bang sequence. Santana kicked out on the cover. They tussled a little bit. Moose hit a big boot. When Moose ran the ropes, Santana connected on the discus lariat out of desperation to win.

Kaz called it clean until both men were down. He decided to cash-in. John Layfield came through the crowd to blast Kaz with a Clothesline From Hell before the cash-in could be honored. JBL whispered to Hendry. It seemed like he just wanted to keep it a clean fight. Swerve! JBL clotheslined Hendry to hell. Nemeth didn’t see any of this. Hendry had a dramatic kick out on the Danger Zone finisher when the backup referee arrived. Hendry teased his Standing Ovation finisher, but Nemeth escaped to connect on a superkick and hit another Danger Zone to win.
