– The Lucha Bros cut a promo, offering to have Cage join them to take out oVe. If he doesn’t, they’ll do it by themselves.

– Moose, Aries, & Kross hang out backstage and refuse to be interviewed. Alisha arrives and yells at Moose. Aries says to calm down and worry about her husband and not them.

Knockouts Title Match: Champion Tessa Blanchard vs. Su Yung: Yung is out by herself. They lock up, Yung looks for a panic switch, but Tessa quickly cuts her off. Yung gets her glove and looks for the mandible claw, but Tessa powders. Back in and Yung lays the boots to her, and then tosses Tessa around the ring. Yung now grounds the action, but Tessa escapes and works a modified Indian death lock. She transitions to a butterfly lock and cradles Yung for 2. Tessa follows with a clothesline, and hits a Saito suplex; the dropkick gets 2. Yung manages to cut her off, but Tessa hits the draping flatliner, and that gets 2. Tessa gets a chair, the ref stops her, allowing Yung to attack and then sit her in the chair. Yung then sort of hits the apron cannonball. Back in they go, and Yung covers for 2.

– Post match, the undead bridesmaids arrive and open the coffin. Yung attacks and lays out Tessa with the panic switch. She drags Tessa up the ramp and places her in the coffin but Allie & Hogan make the save. Tessa then complains, noting that she doesn’t need her help. Allie kept her promise of stopping someone else from a coffin death like a good babyface.

– Two weeks ago King tried to kill a child during LAX’s celebration, breaking the “G Code.” Konnan & King were called away last week and are now attending a meeting of the heads of the families. The “commission” is not happy and says business will be hurt by this kind of heat. Konnan says King broke the code and King thinks this is bullshit to keep him down. The commission talks and says the cease fire will continue until Bound for Glory, and then it ends. It will be LAX & Konnan vs. The OGz & King in the final war. Konnan says he should have taken out King a long time ago and on October 14th, he won’t miss.

oVe (Sami, Jake, & Dave) vs. Ace Austin, Trey Miguel, & Zachary Wentz: No fucking around a oVe attacks at the bell and hits dives. Wentz fights off Sami and then hits a run up dive off of his back and wipes out the pile on the floor. Trey hits a RANA on the floor and Ace hits an apron blockbuster to the floor. Back in and Sami takes control, working over Wentz and tagging in Jake. Trey tags in, they trade kicks, and Dave then takes control. Ace back in and Dave hits a GTS variation. Ace makes the comeback with the disaster kick, but oVe quickly cuts him off and triple teams him. The all seeing eye finishes it. oVe defeated Ace Austin, Trey Miguel, & Zachary Wentz @ 3:50 via pin

– Post match, Sami hits the Cactus driver on Ace and then says that they are the best trio walking the planet today. They will feud with the Lucha bros forever. Sami says if Cage wants to be involved, they will never forget.

Moose Talks: “Moose Money,” Aries, & Kross arrive. Moose is wearing a fancy looking shirt and gold chains. The crowd is chanting “deuce” instead of Moose. Moose says that Eddie has all the people fooled. When Eddie has issues with Alisha, he called Moose. When Sami broke his face, Moose was there. When Eddie had issues with Dreamer, Moose was there. But when Moose was concussed, hospitalized, and contemplating retirement, Eddie wasn’t there. But Killer Kross was there for him. Eddie didn’t call, but Aries did. Aries told him not to cater to the idiots, and he thanks Aries for being a true friend and greatest man that ever lived. Aries says they have Moose, the killer, and the mastermind; no one can stop them and everything has changed. No one will take Aries championship. Jonathan Impact arrives and they banter back and forth. Aries says Impact looks the part, but he IS the part. Impact says at Bound for Glory, he’s getting a world title shot. Really. Anyway, Impact says the people that run the place set it up. That seems awfully out of nowhere and cold. I thought Impact wanted to take out Kongo Kong. Impact refuses to come to he ring because he knows he’ll get jumped. Impact then calls Aries a “turd cutter” and says he has a small dick. They brawl and Impact takes out Moose & Kross, but Aries chop blocks him and the trio kicks Impact’s ass. Moose fights off security and Aries gets some chairs. They wrap one around his head and do the EVIL baseball swing spot like they did to Eddie.
