2. Trailer Park Trash with Elvis Pridemore pinned Jay Bradley. Bradley was in control and used a 2nd City Slam that would have been light’s out for Trailer.

The match got way out of control when Cedric Alexander and Brian Kendrick stormed the ring after working their way out of handcuffs. The “How” (they got out of handcuffs) is in question but the result was a huge brawl that was out of hand. Referee Brian Gorie called the match. The four combatants took the Brawl out of the building into sub-zero conditions but it only added to their energy and dislike of each other. 12:04
8. The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark) beat House of Truth (Roderick Strong and Necro Butcher) with Truth Martini. Jay; Springboard Doomsday (180° turn in mid-air) over Necro Butcher.
