1) Ricky Reyes defeated Pelle Primeau
2) Bob Evans and Antonio Thomas defeated Mikey Bennett and a partner.
Shawn Daivari cut an in-ring promo.
3) Necro Butcher defeated Robby Wolf. Apparently Necro used weapons, though I’m not sure how this fits into Friday’s angle or why he wasn’t DQed.
1) Rhett Titus & Kenny King defeated the House of Truth.
2) Roderick Strong defeated Kevin Steen. Austin Aries attacked Strong before the match. Tyler Black saved Strong from a post-match beat-down.
3) The Briscoes defeated Dark City Fight Club in a non-title match.
4) Brent Albright won a squash match.
Prince Nana cut a promo and introduced Shawn Daivari as the newest member of the Embassy.
5) Austin Aries won a six-man battle royal. The vacant #6 ranking in the Pick Six standings was up for grabs as Aries earned the win over Jerry Lynn, Rhett Titus, Rasche Brown, Joey Ryan, and Eddie Kingston.
6) Eddie Kingston defeated Joey Ryan by disqualification. Daivari interfered to cause the DQ. Necro Butcher made the save and Cornette came out and booked a No-DQ tag match.
7) Shawn Daivari & Joey Ryan defeated Eddie Kingston & Necro Butcher. Daivari hit Kingston with a low kick for the win, then Rasche Brown saved the babyfaces from a further beating.
8 ) Eddie Edwards defeated Colt Cabana to retain the Television Championship. Steve Corino distracted Cabana during the match and they fought afterward, but Steen pulled Corino away.
9) El Generico defeated Ricky Reyes.
10) Jerry Lynn defeated Steve Corino by disqualification. Kenny King interfered, then foguth to the back with Lynn. Meanwhile, Corino & Steen fought with Generico & Cabana.
11) Tyler Black defeated Austin Aries in a non-title match. Black reversed a Figure Four to win with a small package. Aries and King tried to give Black a spike piledriver after the match, but Lynn made the save. There was a brief three-way brawl between Aries, Black, and Strong. Delirious popped up in the crowd and motioned to Black that he wants a title match.

And what a show it is.

Almost too much.
