Zack Sabre Jr. is here to win. Noam Dar is a star on the rise.
Match 1
Zack Sabre Jr. vs Noam Dar
(referee: Drake Wuertz)
Result: Zack Sabre Jr. wins via submission with a modified Rings of Saturn
Time: 15:45
Match Thoughts
Very good match. As expected, this match relied heavily on holds and counters. Noam Dar was very impressive and probably held the lead for most of the match. Sabre looked good as well, managing to hang in there when Dar started working over his knee and later his elbow.
Video
TJ Perkins thinks he’s the best. Rich Swann is motivated to entertain.
Match 2
Rich Swann vs TJ Perkins
(referee: Drake Wuertz)
Result: TJ Perkins wins via submission with a knee bar
Time: 17:03
Match Thoughts
Very good match. There was a point early in the match where it went from being friendly competition to heated rivalry. There was very good injury psychology in this. Both guys were matched very evenly and it could have gone either way. Great way to end the quarterfinal round.
Video
History is being made in the CWC.
Show Impressions
I think I liked the previous episode a little more, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with this one. The final episode of the CWC is going to be great!
Match of the Night
TJ Perkins vs Rich Swann
There was a better story and more intense action in this one. The two matches on the show were very different, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit more.
