August 21st, 2021
2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Commentary: Ian Riccaboni & Caprice Coleman
Danhausen vs. Dalton Castle (w/ The Baby Chicks)
Danhausen’s intro said Danhausen is excited to finally wrestle a fellow celebrity and if Danhausen wins, Dalton has to get Danhausen on Family Feudhausen, while Castle’s intro said, ‘he’s very busy’, as the crowd gave him and his Baby Chicks a big reaction. Dak Draper joined the commentary for this match. Castle spent the beginning of the match showboating and walking outside as Danhausen played to the crowd. Danhausen got the Baby Chicks to clap for him, and Castle showing jealousy moved them away. Comedic spots here include Danhausen asking for help as he was stuck on the ropes, only to play possum and take control which prompts Draper to go down and distract Danhausen. Back inside, Castle takes control including biting Danhausen. Danhausen comes back with a couple of German suplexes and goes to pour the teeth down Castle’s throat, but they end up being spilled all over the ring causing the Baby Chicks to come in and start pecking at them. This causes Castle to get upset and kick them out, just to get spare teeth put on him by Danhausen. They trade off roll-ups until Castle hits an airplane spin on Danhausen on top of the teeth for the pin.
Winner: Dalton Castle by pinfall at 8:08
