We go to ringside where the commentators welcomes us to tonights show, and they imidiately starts to talk about the announcement we just got. What a match that will be! Conor Vs Khabib 2, here in EAM! But now, let's focus on tonights show! Take it away Mandy!
Tag Team Matchup
The North (Ethan Page and Josh Alexander) Vs Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens
North look really solid In this one. Getting some big bumps and spots in. Nice MMA rules guess it makes sense. Would have thought No Holds Barred or even an Iron Circle match. At the end of the match Packaged Piledriver for the 3 count on Page.
Before we go to commercial break, we get the announcement that another match has been added to the Supersplash card, as Will Ospreay and Edge will clash again, and now, in a Last Man Standing Match!
Makes sense to finish the feud I suppose. Don’t want too many gimmick matches but it is Supersplash
Singles Matchup
Ilja Dragunov Vs Timothy Thatcher
Hard hitting strong style european style to this one. Thatcher gets some good spots in but at the end it is the Russian with the leg lariat and headbutt for the win. Ilja sends a message after the match as well taking him out.
As we get back from commercial break, we get a Nakamura/Okada feud package. We see how they went from one of the greatest tag teams in the world, to the split-up, and then their matches against each other. We see highlights of promos and from the matches, then we are hyped up for another match against them. The one match to end it all. As is been promoted as " The Final Fall " We cut to the arena for our main event of the evening, where the commentators gives us the news that the winning team of tonights main event will be added to the Supersplash card somehow.
What a colossal tussle it should be!.
Tag Team Matchup - Winning Team Will Get Added To The Supersplash Card
Cornelius Crummels & Sonny Defarge Vs Tripp Cassidy & Mick Moretti
Hmm interesting to see which match they’ll be added too but it’s still a chance. Both teams look solid getting some big snd good spots in but at the end after a bunch of dives outside the ring it is Crummels and Defarge picking up the win.
As the show are about to end, we get a promo from Pride Champion; WALTER. He talks about his upcoming title match at Supersplash, which will be contested inside a elimination chamber. That means defying great odds to win. Beating five other wrestlers in the process. But WALTER has gone against all odds before. And he sure as hell can do it again! Because he is Der Ring General, and the era of The Imperium has just began!.
Solid promo to end Pride but I thought Okada was in the chamber and not Nakamura. Plans change I guess.
