It started fairly even, then Daivari hit some big moves, including a spinebuster on the floor, to pull ahead in the match. Daivari controlled a lot of the later parts of the match, but Ali seems to always be a couple of moves away from turning things around. He did that here, and it was a good match for Ali.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDrake Maverick says Buddy Murphy&#8217;s attack on Cedric Alexander were inexcusable, but Murphy&#8217;s recent matches have earned him a title opportunity at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Unfortunately for him, Murphy couldn&#8217;t make weight prior to the match being signed. So next week there will be a gauntlet match to determine a number one contender to face Cedric for his title.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Gentleman Jack Gallagher &amp; The Brian Kendrick vs Vinny Scalise<\/strong> (VSK) <strong>&amp; Kevin DeTiberus<\/strong> (Kevin Tibbs)<br \/>\n(referee: Ryan Tran)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7523d7da6f','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7523d7da6f\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7523d7da6f\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Brian Kendrick forces Kevin DeTibres to submit to the Captain&#8217;s Hook<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 3:56<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nSquash, but it was really nice to see Kendrick back in the ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nDasha Fuentes asks Mustafa Ali what he thinks about Murphy not making weight.
