3. Malik Blade and Edris Enofe vs. Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey (w/Myles Borne, Damon Kemp). Dempsey and Blade exchanged chain wrestling holds early before Dempsey tagged in Gulak and Blade tagged Enofe in response. Enofe worked on Gulak before Blade made his way back in the ring. Gulak made a blind tag to Dempsey which allowed Dempsey to take control. Dempsey gained a near fall on Blade with a northern lights suplex.
Dempsey tagged in Gulak and Blade made the hot tag to Enofe. Enofe and Blade hit their double team finish on Gulak but Dempsey broke up the pin at the last second. Dempsey was sent to the outside by Enofe and Enofe followed up with a crossbody on Dempsey and Blade took out Borne with a dive as Borne attempted interference. Enofe took care of Kemp but turned right into roaring elbow from Gulak which was quickly followed into an elevated slam double team for the finish.
Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey defeated Malik Blade and Edris Enofe via pinfall in 7:08.
