**********
The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) & Jack Perry vs. The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, Lee Johnson, & Blake Christian)
Nick Jackson started the match with Blake Christian, and Christian faked a handshake to attack Nick. However, the Bucks did what the Bucks always do and hit a series of fast double team moves to turn it around, ending with Jack Perry joining in to hit a hurricanrana on Lethal as the Bucks hit a high five bulldog on Christian and Johnson. Jack Perry then hit two suicide dives on Christian, but got distracted by Lethal enough to miss a moonsault and Christian superkicked him. Nick Jackson, however hit a dive, taking the advantage back. Before they went to a break, Lethal Twist managed to hit a series of triple team moves.
The tandem offence form all 6 men continued as they came back from the break, ending with Matt Jackson hitting a series of Northern Lights suplexes across the ring before suplexing Lee Johnson into Blake Christian. Matt and Nick hit their double stomp into a powerbomb combo, and hit stereo powerbombs into stereo sharpshooters. Jay Lethal tried to make the save, but he was taken down by Jack Perry into a snare trap, but the moves were broken when the others all made the ropes.
Lethal hit the Lethal Combination on Jack Perry, and the Bucks hit a sunset flip assisted German suplex on Lethal. Lethal hit a Lethal Injection on both Bucks, then Blake Christian hit a flying stomp on Jack Perry, who Lee Johnson had on his shoulders, and used the double stomp to hit a Death Valley Driver, before Lethal flew off the ropes with a flying elbow. A lot of superkicks happened soon thereafter from everyone. The Bucks launched Jack Perry from the ramp into a flying knee on Lethal, and then Perry hit a moonsault to the floor on Christian and Lethal while the Bucks hit the Meltzer Driver on Johnson for the pinfall victory.
Result: The Young Bucks & Jack Perry defeated The Lethal Swirl
–Mina Shirakawa and Kris Statlander were backstage, and Shirakawa said that she told Statlander so about Hikaru Shida. Statladner said that no one liked being told that, and that their match tonight to qualify for the TBS Championship Survival of the Fittest match would end the same way as their last match – with Statlander winning. Harley Cameron interjected and said that she wanted to see a clean fight, and asked that they shake on it. They shook hands. Harley shook something else. Harley said that they could shake with a handshake too rather than her way.
