followed up with a vertical suplex.

ring. Mark was going to use it as a launch pad, but Mark
Sterling yanked it out of the ring.
Ariya Daivari drilled Mark with a neck breaker on the arena
floor. They returned to the ring and Daivari gouged Mark’s
eyes.
The fans chanted “Dem Boys! Dem Boys!”
Daivari clocked Mark with a short arm lariat, followed up by
a DDT for a near fall. Mark rallied back with open hand palm
strikes. Briscoe took Daivari off his feet with a big elbow
strike. Mark blasted Daivari with a fisherman buster! Mark
scored with a Death Valley Driver. Daivari knocked Briscoe
off the ropes.
Daivari was looking for a Jay Driller to add insult to
injury but Mark back dropped out of it. Sterling jumped on
the apron, but Rocky Romero pulled him down! Rocky slid a
chair to Briscoe. Mark catapulted off the chair, over the
top rope, and crashed onto Sterling and Daivari. Mark landed
the froggy bow and pinned Daivari! After the match, Mark
stunned Sterling with a Jay Driller for good measure!

mat. Komander returned fire with a forearm. Komander
moonsaulted off the top rope to Rocky on the arena floor!
Rocky came over the top with the sliced break for a near
fall on Komander. Rocky spiked Komander with a DDT but
Komander kicked out just in time. Komander grabbed Rocky and
rammed him with a running power slam in the corner
turnbuckles! Komander pinned Rocky after landing the
shooting star press off the middle of the top rope!

Rush dropkicked Holliday in the back of the head. Rush
rammed Richard Holliday into the barricade and then swarmed
him. Rush stomped a mudhole on Holliday and then clobbered
Holliday with the Bull’s Horns, grabbing the pinfall
victory!
“That was an ass-kicking, guys,” said Tony Schiavone.
Rampage Main Event Time!
Ricochet vs. Top Flight’s Dante Martin!
Dante looked for a sunset flip, but Ricochet countered with
a roll-up. Ricochet connected with a dropkick. Both men were
matching one another move for move.

here,” said Tony Schiavone.

it. Ricochet rocked Dante with a northern lights suplex
