Show starts with a recap of last week before we get the announcement regarding the upcoming PPV this weekend where War Raiders will get their long awaited rematch against Private Party for The Pride Tag Team Championships. Then we get the announcement regarding tonights show, where Pete Dunne and Will Ospreay will have a chance at payback for Braun costing them their title shots against Lars Sullivan. If they manage to beat Braun tonight, they will both be rewarded with a title match against Lars this weekend. But if Braun wins, he is the one getting another chance at The Pride Championship this weekend. We then go to the Pride vignette.
Singles Matchup
Ilja Dragunov Vs WALTER
Hard hitting fun match. Ilja looks good but WALTER gets a pretty easy and dominant win, needs to look good before Slobber. Walter chop and bomb gets the 3 count.
2-On-1 Handicap Matchup - Winner(s) get a title match at the upcoming PPV
Braun Strowman Vs Pete Dunne & Will Ospreay
Fun match from all men involved. High flying and big bumps. Double teaming together to try to stop Braun. Back and forth action but at the end Braun is about to get back into the ring but Dunne twists his fingers as the referee is counting. Will dropkicks Braun off the apron!...7...8...WILL DIVES ONTO BRAUN AS PETE RUNS INTO THE RING...10...OMG THEY DID IT. Will and Dunne just defeated Braun by smart countout!. What a shocker here. Anything can happen in EAM.
Tag Team Matchup
Shinsuke Nakamura & Kazuchika Okada Vs Heavy Machinery (Otis & Tucker)
Comedy match that’s back and forth. Some double teaming spots and big moves...
Nakamura in some strange fashion does not want to tag in his partner, but wants to do it all himself. This both confuses and pisses Okada off during the match, forcing him to blind-tag to get into the ring. But this only results in Nakamura blind-tagging him back at the first possible chance.
Hmm possible heat between them. This creates problems for them as Okada is taken down by Tucker and Otis nails a splash and the caterpillar for the 3 count!. Wow another huge shocker here tonight. Heavy beats them!.
After the match there is some tension between partners Nakamira and Okada. They yell at each other in japanese, both seemingly pretty pissed, but Okada is the most furious one of them. The commentators try to translate as good as they can. Something with Nakamura always taking the spotlight and putting Okada down or something. Then, from out of nowhere. Superkick from Nakamura! It sends Okada straight down, flat out cold on the canvas. Nakamura kneels in front of Okada on the canvas, then Nakamura's music cranks the arena speakers, and Nakamura does some kind of ceremonial dance in the ring before he leaves it. The show ends with Okada out cold in the middle of the ring, while Nakamura makes it to the backstage, blowing a kiss in Okada's direction before we cut.....
Big ending. Guess they weren’t doing anything as a team
