This was a fight, and Bryan Danielson dominated the fight early. Danielson bloodied Page on the ring steps relatively quickly, and Page struggled to get much offense early on. Page was nearly always fighting from behind, at least up until Page used the ring post to get things almost back to even strength. Page started to mount more offense later in the match, but Page&#8217;s offense came in bursts while Danielson&#8217;s offense was a steady stream. Overall, a super-fun match to watch and another great fight between these two. I also REALLY appreciated the fact that finishers were respected in the match. There wasn&#8217;t any of the &#8220;kick out of a finisher a bunch of times&#8221; that we see in lots of matches these days. This had a good buildup for the finishers, and when they happened, they meant something.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Acclaimed aren&#8217;t happy that boomer Sting had to get involved in Anthony Bowens&#8217; match against Darby Allin last week, but The Acclaimed still stood tall after the match.

Therefore, your winner via disqualification, &#8220;Captain&#8221; Shawn Dean.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nStill in the ring, CM Punk says this will happen every time MJF steps into a ring until MJF faces Punk in a match. MJF says everything Punk says is fake and induces boredom. MJF points out that Punk said he was done with MJF, but this week he comes out and does this. MJF says he and Punk both know that Punk is nothing without him. Punk is irrelevant without MJF. Punk isn&#8217;t a &#8220;savior&#8221; anymore, MJF is.<\/p>\n<p>MJF goes on to talk about Punk laughing about MJF being compared to Roddy Piper. Does Punk think he&#8217;s as good as Piper? At least Piper was good enough to main event a Wrestlemania. Maybe MJF will go main event a Wrestlemania too. Punk laughs heartily. Punk says all he&#8217;s trying to do is kick MJF&#8217;s ass. So just get in the ring. And if MJF wants to go to WWE, then leave, fail, and come back. Punk will still be here, ready to beat up MJF again. MJF gets mad and makes a match for next week&#8230; CM Punk versus Wardlow. Punk agrees to the match, saying, like Piper, he&#8217;ll fight anyone at any time. And eventually, MJF will run out of people to hide behind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nA video package narrated by Jennifer Nettles (of the Go Big Show) promoting Cody Rhodes defending the TNT Title against Sammy Guevara at Battle of the Belts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nChris Jericho heads to the ring.

Matt Lee and Jeff Parker head to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Lee speaks, but Jericho is too distracted by Lee&#8217;s square head to hear anything he says. Jericho then calls Jeff Parker a pinhead. Jericho grabs Floyd the bat and gets ready to use it, but Daniel Garcia runs in and attacks Jericho. As Jericho is swarmed, Eddie Kingston, Santana, and Ortiz run to the ring.

The pace was extremely high for most of the match, and, as you&#8217;d expect, there was a lot of flying from three-fourths of the competitors in the match. Jungle Boy did a lot of the work for Jurassic Express, though Luchasaurus made big impacts whenever he got into the match. Unfortunately, Rey Fenix suffered a grotesque injury towards the end of the match. Luchasaurus chokeslammed Fenix from the apron to the floor through a table, but Fenix&#8217;s left arm hit the floor awkwardly, bending his elbow completely backward under his own body weight. With Fenix out, Penta and Jungle Boy finished the match quickly. The finish was still very good, even if the moves they did probably weren&#8217;t in the original plan.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, a bunch of tag teams line up on the stage: Private Party (with Matt Hardy), FTR, 2point0, reDRagon, The Acclaimed, and the Gunn Club.
