Ragdoll is inexplicably fine after getting mangled last week, and this goes about the same, with Steel brutalizing her while Covert Jay wonders why we’ve got Ragdoll From Wish.
While Ragdoll does little to defend herself, Steel takes pleasure in the devastation he unleashes upon her, prompting at least one child in the crowd to cry. Steel finally smashes her into a turnbuckle with the Eradication and finishes Ragdoll off with the Blackwinged Angel before finally covering for the three.
Winner: Trent Steel

Double elbow tie-up to start the match, but Tact overpowers the smaller Thornfield and shoves him to the mat. Tact goes to follow up, but Thornfield grounds him with a drop toe hold and slides into a headlock. Tact tries to work his way back to his feet, and Thornfield transitions into a hammerlock. Tact swings back with his other elbow, ducked under by Thornfield who snaps Tact into a belly to belly suplex. Thornfield slides into a cover, but Tact kicks out at two.
Thornfield tries to apply an anklelock, but Tact rolls onto his back and kicks him away. Tact pops to his feet and connects with a high knee. Tact puts Thornfield into an abdominal stretch, preparing to transition into a side slam, but Thornfield slips out and pulls Tact into a schoolboy pin for a two count.
Both men pop to their feet, but Tact yanks Thornfield into a short-arm clothesline. Tact follows up with another, and then drives Thornfield to the mat with the Humbling. Tact lifts Thornfield into Star Power, and that finishes him off and gets the three.
Winner: Larry Tact
Time: 5:39
This is a good back and forth match that pits the veteran technician, Pierce, against the less experienced luchadore, Wrestley. As soon as the bell rings, Pierce takes Wrestley over with a headlock takedown, then transitions it into single leg crab. He’s eventually made to release it, but stays focused on Wrestley’s leg with legwhips, lifting up his knee and slamming it into the mat, an ankle lock, a barrage if shinbreakers, and finally throwing Wrestley off of the ropes, followed by dropkicking him in the knees. He goes for a pin, but Wrestley kicks out at two. Pierce hoists him up for “Signing Off,” and hits it, then goes up top and comes flying off for “The Piercing Blow.”
He finds nothing but canvas. Wrestley goes to work, although he’s clearly a bit hobbled. He still manages to execute a lot of his “flippy shit” (his words, not mine) that leaves Pierce wobbling around the ring. Wrestey punctuates it by dropkicking Pierce into the corner. He attempts a cannonball, but Pierce moves and hoists him up for a second attempt at “Singing Off.” Wrestley counters it into a hurricanrana. He leaps up onto the turnbuckle, and when Pierce gets up, Wrestley executes his favorite move quartet of ‘Upside Down,” “Boy You Turn Me,” and “Inside Out,” punctuated by “Round and Round” for the three.
Winner: Wrestley McWrestleface
Time: 6:56
Both competitors coming off a loss in their opening Block B matches, looking to get points on the board tonight.
Raab starts off the match aggressively, backing Zane into a corner and unleashing a flurry of boxing style punches on him, with Zane covering up as best he can until he takes advantage of an opening to shove Raab away. Raab comes right back after him, but Zane catches him with a knee to the gut and follows with a clubbing blow to the back. Zane lays Raab across the top turnbuckle before backing off for a running knee strike, but as he charges Raab pushes off the turnbuckle and lands on the apron. Zane manages to slam on the brakes before he runs into the corner, but Raab grabs him by the head and steps off the apron, pulling Zane face first into the turnbuckle.
Raab rolls back in as Zane stumbles away from the corner, and Raab takes him to the mat with a Lou Thesz Press before unleashing a series of mounted punches. Raab brings Zane off the mat with a back suplex, and lifts himself to the second turnbuckle before leaping and connecting with a knee drop, and Raab covers but only gets a two count.
Zane rolls towards the side of the ring, cautiously getting up near the ropes. Raab charges at him, but Zane lifts him into a stun gun onto the ropes, and connects with Fully Throated! Zane drops right into the cover, but Raab shoves him off at two. Zane wastes no time staying on him, delivering a pair of stomps before pulling Raab up by the head and delivering a clubbing blow to his back. Raab stumbles away, but as Zane approaches he spins back around and connects with an enziguri kick. Zane staggers away, and Raab handsprings into the Fire Storm, covers and hooks the leg, but Zane gets the shoulder up at two!
Raab looks frustrated, but he pulls Zane up and whips him towards the ropes, only for Zane to come charging back at connecting with a running knee strike! Zane steps over the prone Raab and executes Salt the Earth, before picking him up and planting him with the Conspiracy of Silence, and that gets the three!
Winner: Zane Scott
Time: 7:14
The bell rings, and the two competitors waste no time colliding in a thunderous tie-up. Knox takes control with a well-executed exploder suplex, sending Wolf crashing to the mat. The crowd roars as he narrowly kicks out of the early pin attempt.
Ezra mounts his retaliation with a lightning-quick single leg dropkick, catching Knox off guard. Seizing the lead, he follows with a powerful t-bone suplex. Swiftly recovering, Knox retaliates with a moonsault suplex, catching Wolf by surprise and turning the tide again.
Matt maintains momentum with a barrage of strikes, including a punishing roundhouse and a Muay Thai plum and knee combination. To his shock, though, Ezra Wolf winds up countering a springboard leg drop with an explosive, well-timed interceptor spear up from the mat. The Red-Eyed Wolf delivers a Fujiwara armbar, trying to bring this match to a finish.
Knox manages to break free, then kips up to execute a picture-perfect Lionsault, but Wolf is defiant and scrambles for the ropes to pull himself up quickly to his feet. The animosity between the two is palpable, and the crowd gets on their feet as the two engage in a heated staredown.
The match reaches a crescendo as Wolf goes for Kickin’ It Old School. The Raven blocks, then hits a pump kick. This is followed up with Into The Void, which is enough to give Matt the cover and a count of 3!
Winner: Matt Knox
Time: 9:37
