X Division Champion Austin Aries & Zema Ion vs Alex Shelley & Shannon Moore

Aries is obviously the captain of his team, ordering Ion out to the ring apron as he goes at it with Moore. Aries takes him down with a side headlock, Moore escapes with a headscissors, but Moore obviously has never seen Aries wrestle because he’s caught completely unaware by the kickout and dropkick to the face. Ion tags in and he goes at it with Moore, but he quickly winds up in the wrong part of town and Shelley tags in to work over his arm. Ion blatantly grabs Shelley’s hair in front of the referee, Shelley hits a headscissors, but Ion catches him with an enziguiri. Ion tells Aries that’s how it’s done, so Aries tags himself in and their miscommunication leads to Moore getting an opening to clean house on both guys. Aries rolls out to the floor and Moore takes him out with a baseball slide and then hits the same Asai moonsault that took Sorensen out at the PPV. Moore grabbed Ion’s hairspray can, but this infuriates Ion and he baseball slides Moore, then gets takes outby Shelley. Moore slams Aries and tags out to Shelley, who misses a double stomp, but he hits a superkick and goes for Sliced Bread #2. Aries shoves him off into the corner and he hits the IED and goes for the brainbuster, but Ion tags himself in and rolls Shelley up for the win.

Austin Aries vs Alex Shelley for the X-Division Championship

Tenay noted that Jesse Sorensen had been taken to a hospital for evaluation. There were dueling crowd chants early on. The Shelley fans seemed to outnumber the Aries fans. Shelley wanted to dive on Aries at ringside, but Aries hid under the ring twice. Shelley was finally able to perform the suicide dive he’d been looking for at 8:20.

Aries caught a Shelley kick attempt and came back with an offensive flurry of his own that led to a near fall. He went for his finisher at 9:50, but Shelley blocked it. They exchanged big blows with Aries getting the better of it with a spinning punch. Later, Aries performed a Death Valley Driver on Shelley on the ring apron. Tenay did a nice job of selling it by talking about Shelley’s injury history and how hard that area of the ring is.

At 12:00, Shelley made his comeback and hit Sliced Bread. The ref counted the three, but immediately pointed at the hand of Aries, who had grabbed the bottom rope at the last moment. At 13:10, Aries hit his brainbuster finisher and covered Shelley, who kicked out to keep the match going.

Shelley came back with a small package for a near fall of his own. Shelley fired away with a two kicks and scored another really good near fall. A loud “this is awesome” chant broke out. Shelley went for Sliced Bread, but Aries pushed him off and slammed him down to the mat. Aries followed up with a brainbuster and then locked in Last Chancery for the submission win.

Winner: Austin Aries
