East West Express (Nick Wayne and Jordan Oliver) vs. Wasted Youth (Marcus Mathers and Dyln McKay)

Mathers and Oliver started off the match. Oliver threw some errant strikes that didn’t land before the two exchanged waist kick reversals. The two continued battling for control with an impressive sequence of moves before eventually ending the exchange in a stalemate. Wayne and Mathers had a great sequence of impressive offense before Mathers eventually gained control of the match and tagged in Dylan but their advantage didn’t last long as Oliver and Wayne took out both members of wasted youth with their tag team offense. Oliver started to work over McKay which slowed down the pace of the match; Mathers and McKay eventually got their chance to shine, collecting a series of near falls on the crowd favorites. Wayne eventually made the hit tag to Oliver who ran wild in Wasted Youth, he was eventually cut off when McKay dumped him in the corner with a vicious suplex. Both teams continued to put their impressive offense on display as they reacted in the latter stages of the match. All four men stood face to face in the center of the ring and started to exchange forearms. McKay sent Oliver to the floor while Mathers hit Esther with a 450 for an extremely close near fall. Oliver and Wayne hit a cloutcutter on McKay for the victory. This was a fantastic match, all four of the guys killed it and the crowd was hot throughout the over 15min match.

NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: Kerry Morton (Champion) vs. Jimmy Lloyd 

Jimmy Lloyd should be the one to take the belt off Gage. 

There was a very loud new champ chant before the match began, Kerry had his work cut out for him. The two had a very stiff lock-up and then went into a feeling-out process which saw Jimmy getting the advantage. The crowd was very vocal in their support for Jimmy Lloyd; as Kerry went to work on Jimmy Lloyd he was met with “Kerry, Kerry, Kerry fucking sucks” chants and a brief “we want Robert” chant. Jimmy stacked Kerry up on the top rope and gut gun with a suplex, he tried to go for a brainbuster but Kerry reversed ur into a cutter. Jimmy fired back up and hit Kerry with two suplexes followed by a neck breaker for a two count. Kerry caught Jimmy with a high knee and pinned Jimmy to retain his title. That was a great match that the crowd ate up.
