Rating: *** 1/4

AJ Styles continued to take out the competition as Homicide was the latest to fall to the Styles Clash. After the match he called out Low-Ki and demanded he stop hiding and put the TV title up against him. He then continued by saying that Low-Ki can run but can't hide and that the Coalition will have both his titles soon.

Kenny Dykstra pinned Harry Smith with the Guillotine Legdrop in 0:16:25.
Rating: ***

Last week Harry Smith caused Dykstra a chance to win the TV title, this week Dykstra got his revenge in a Glass Death match. This one got bloody quick but both men put on one hell of a show but in this long running feud Dykstra came out ahead tonight.

Katsushi Takemura took one Bryan Danielson and to say they put on a performance would be an understatement. Both men former Tag team champions, went all out at each other but it was the American Dragon with the Dragon sleeper that came out ahead.

Rating: ***

After the attack by Dykstra and Raven on CM Punk, Samoa Joe came running down to the ring to be met head on by Christian Cage and the rest of the Coalition. They worked over Joe outside of the ring then tossed his lifeless body to Raven who hit the Raven Effect to get the win. Cage then slid into the ring and started to work on Joe but Low-Ki came down with a chair of his on and cleared the ring. Cage is jawing with the camp outside the ring.
