Match 1
Moustache Mountain vs Sam Gradwell & Saxon Huxley
(referee: Joel Allen)
Result: Tyler Bate pins Sam Gradwell after a tandem rebounding lariat (Bate) and dragon suplex (Seven)
Time: 6:04
Match Thoughts
Good match. It was kind of an exhibition for Moustache Mountain, but Gradwell and Huxley again made sure that they made an impression.

A promo for Isla Dawn.

Jinny, coming soon.
Backstage
Radzi asks Johnny Saint about the attack on Banks, but Mark Andrews interrupts. Andrews knows it must have been the Coffeys who attacked Banks.
Match 2
Nina Samuels vs Isla Dawn
(referee: Chris Sharpe)
Result: Isla Dawn wins via pinfall after a float-over suplex
Time: 3:22
Match Thoughts
Pretty good match. It was short, but I think both women looked pretty good. It feels like they want to push Isla Dawn, but Nina Samuels looked just as good.
Video
Radzi has a sit-down interview with Pete Dunne. Dunne isn’t afraid of Danny Burch.
Video
Some clips of what Jordan Devlin can do in the ring.
Video
Eddie Dennis quit his job as the youngest principal in the UK to dedicate himself to professional wrestling. He also seems a little bitter about the success of his friends Mark Andrews and Pete Dunne.
Match 3
Jordan Devlin vs Tucker
(referee: Chris Sharpe)
Result: Jordan Devlin wins via pinfall after a fireman’s carry spun into a side slam
Time: 4:09
Match Thoughts
Good match. This was kind of a squash for Devlin, but he did look pretty good given the short time.
Video
Radzi sits down with Danny Burch. Burch says he’s ready to be champ because of his experience and his setbacks.
Match 4
Wolfgang vs Mark Andrews
(referee: Darryl Sharma)
Result: Mark Andrews wins via pinfall after a shooting star press
Time: 8:40
Match Thoughts
Good match. Wolfgang showed some impressive strength, at one point catching Andrews as he dove out to the floor. Andrews did what he does best, which is to run around the ring and fly when he can. It all worked well together for a nice main event.
Ring Area
After the match, the Coffey brothers run to the ring and attack Andrews. After a few seconds, Flash Morgan Webster runs to the ring to help Andrews. Wolfgang returns to the ring, and the Coffey brothers run out to the stage. Wolfgang helps Webster to his feet, but he quickly puts Webster back down with a clothesline. The Coffeys return to the ring and join Wolfgang in his attack on Webster and Andrews.
Show Impressions
Good show. I like some of the story lines starting to develop. I don’t think this main event was as good as the last episode’s, but I liked it regardless. Plus, tonight’s main event is undoubtedly going to lead to another match.
Match of the Night
Wolfgang vs Mark Andrews
I’m looking forward to seeing them fight again.
