*We begin with a hype video for the Matt Sydal/Homicide match. Mentioning that the match tonight will be in Maximum Grand Prix Crowning King tournament. We then go the SHOW OPEN*
After the opening we head into our first match. Heading to the ring is the team of MATT CROSS and SHANNON MOORE, THE WALKING DEAD. As they jump into the ring, "Face the Pain" by Stemm comes on and out come GROUND AND POUND. With JIM CORNETTE by their side, DANIEL PUDER and NICK DINSMORE are all business. Starting the match are Matt Cross and Nick Dinsmore. Despite the flying expertise of Cross, he can't overcome Dinsmore's technical ability. Barely escaping an arm bar, Cross tags in
Winners- Ground and Pound
After the match, Puder continues the decimation of Shannon Moore. Matt Cross tries to save his partner but gets hit with a big German suplex from Nick Dinsmore for his effort. With both men down, Ground and Pound stand proudly with Cornette.

We're back and a bandaged up LUKE HAWX is in the ring. He talks about how THE SANDMAN beat him down last week. He got advice from his uncle and knows he can beat Sandman tonight. The familiar opening of "Enter Sandman" plays and there he is! The Sandman heads through the crowd with cane and beer in tow. He jumps the barricade and chugs down the beer. He enters the ring and Hawx immediately goes in for the attack. With speed on his side, Hawx nails a couple of kicks to the legs. He hits the ropes and BAM! Sandman hits a huge clothesline. In what is almost a replay of last week, The Sandman just overpowers the smaller Hawx. Using his cane Sandman hits the White Russian Leg Sweep for the pin fall.
Winner- The Sandman
As The Sandman heads to the back, we catch a glimpse of Hawx cursing himself for losing again.
We cut backstage and MATT SYDAL cuts a promo on Homicide. Saying that just in case Low Ki thinks he can interfere, AJ Styles will be at ringside.

We come back from commercial and we're backstage with THE ROTTWEILERS. HOMICIDE laughs off Sydal's threat. "Seriously? This little bitch is gonna take me down? I'm from f***ing
We head back to the ring just in time to see the debuting SCOTTY 2 HOTTY head to the ring! Dancing his way to the ring, the arena can't help but get into it. Cutting off the Scotty's familiar music is the sound of a pitbull barking and heavy guitar. To Icepick's "Onward to Victory" comes THE WRESTLING MACHINE. The masked man heads to the ring. No pyro, no pandering to the crowd, just business. As soon as the bell rings, Scotty tries to use his speed and agility to win but it doesn't faze The Wrestling Machine. Just as fast as Scotty, Machine is able to take Scotty down with a flurry of kicks and punches. Smelling blood in the water, Machine locks in the crossface chicken wing and Scotty instantly taps out.
Winner- The Wrestling Machine
Before he is even announced the winner, Machine walks to the back. As he walks up the ramp, Jim Cornette is on the stage applauding the impressive star.

We're in the back and Jeff Hardy cuts a promo. "It seems some people have forgotten I'm in the Crowning King tournament. Been on the sidelines for awhile. But trust me, I will be winning it all and I'll be paying close attention to Sydal and Homicide."
We head back to the ring as the lights go out. The familiar Kill Bill into starts and the fans boo loudly. Talking trash, HOMICIDE and LOW KI head to the ring. The lights come up and Alkaline Trio's "Clavicle" begins. Running to the ring are AJ STYLES and MATT SYDAL. Dashing into the ring, Styles and Sydal immediately take it to The Rottweilers. Brawling all over the ring, it takes the ref awhile to get Styles and Ki out of the ring. Still brawling, Homicide overwhelms Sydal with his size. Homicide hits the Three Amigos suplex but only gets a two count. Getting up, Homicide waits for Sydal to get up and miss a running lariat. With this opportunity, Sydal hits a quick hurricanrana. With Homicide dazed, Sydal hits the inverted leg drop bulldog for the pin but Homicide kicks out at two and a half. With Homicide still on the ground, Sydal goes to the top rope for the shooting star press. Suddenly, both Sydal and the ref are distracted with Ki and Styles who brawl outside of the ring. While the ref sends Low Ki and AJ Styles to the back, Homicide has enough time to get up and throw Sydal off the top with an overhead belly to belly suplex. Picking Sydal up off the mat, Homicide hits Da Cop Killa for the 1-2-3.
Winner- Homicide
Homicide gets in to the cameraman's face making the belt around the waist motion and saying "I'm coming for the gold Hardy." We fade to black as Homicide celebrates on the ring post.
