Kenny Williams surprised Devlin early in the match with some nice, agile offense a few really good counters. Devlin eventually took control of the match and brutally put Williams away. The finish wasn&#8217;t a surprise, but overall, the match was fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ring Area<\/span><\/em><br \/>\nAfter the match, Radzi tries to ask Jordan Devlin a question.
