- In the opening bout, Maxwell Jacob Friedman made short work of an opponent before issuing an open challenge that Ethan Page answered. In an impromptu World Championship match, MJF successfully retained, utilizing the Heatseeker for the victory. MJF also used a dragon screw leg whip, showing that he perhaps learned something from Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Nice Try Ethan.
