Rickey Shane Page's Open Challenge
Rickey Shane Page says that it's not going to be an open challenge he's instead inviting a student out to wrestle him. Marcus Mathers comes out and he tells him to go to the back and he's just a child that there's no way he's going to wrestle him. Next, he brings out 411, the son of ECW wrestler 911, 44OH! jump him as well. Danhausen comes to answer the challenge and gets jumped by 44OH! Finally, Orange Cassidy answers the challenge to raucous applause.
Rickey Shane Page vs. Orange Cassidy
Orange starts the match by using his typical antics to stay away from RSP and 44OH! A quick small package attempt gets a two-count for Orange Cassidy. Orange puts his hands in his pockets and RSP takes them out a couple of times and they play around for a little bit before getting back to wrestling. Orange takes control of the power of his hands in his pockets. Orange goes for a suicide dive and gets tripped by Gregory Iron allowing RSP to take control. While RSP continues to beat on Orange, 44OH! set up furniture on the outside.

Jonathan Gresham vs. Lee Moriarty
Early on in this match, we see an exchange of pure wrestling holds along with a Lenny Leonard and Dave Prazak reunion commentary, this match has a real early Ring of Honor vibe. Moriarty takes to the air to get an advantage and a quick lateral press attempt gets only a one count for Lee. Both men quickly go back to the wrestling holds with Moriarty working on the arm of Jonathan Gresham. Moriarty gets a two-count with a unique pinning combination and immediately goes back to working on the arm of Gresham.

A unique leg-hold combined with trapping the arms of Moriarty gets a two-count for Jonathan Gresham. Gresham would continue to go for unique pinfall attempts while never being able to score the victory. Moriarty would swing the momentum in his direction with some explosive kicks and a mushroom stomp that would score him a two-count. Moriarty went for a suplex attempt but there was too much pressure on his back so he switched gears and delivered a double stomp to the arm from the top rope. Moriarty slapped an Armbar on Gresham, who quickly got to the ropes.
Following more exchanges of holds and near falls, the action picked up with some trash talk and intense striking by both athletes. Moriarty nailed a Tilt-A-Whirl Armbar.

Briefly, Blake Christian tried to take control by getting rid of Santana and Ortz but was quickly stopped by Chris Dickinson. The action would spill out to the floor with four men brawling on the floor Wilder Ortiz kept control of Christian in the ring. Dickinson would soon be the legal man and hit an amazing cradle piledriver ankle submission combination and then the attack focused strictly on the leg of Blake Christian as all members of Pazuzu made quick exchanges keeping themselves fresh.
