Last Man Standing
Sami Callihan vs. Trey Miguel

The only way to win this match with no disqualifications and no countouts is to incapacitate your opponent to the point where they are unable to answer the referee’s 10 count. Moments after the opening bell, Callihan hurls Trey over the top rope to the floor. Trey builds momentum with Sliced Bread, followed by a Hurricanrana on the outside. Trey crashes and burns on a dive, causing him to collide with the steel guardrail. Callihan jabs a wrench into the mouth of Trey but he gets to his feet at the count of 8. Back in the ring, Callihan bends him over backwards with a sickening bodyslam onto the legs of a table. Trey is perched on the top but Callihan throws a chair at his head. Callihan connects with a top rope piledriver into a table. Callihan goes low before spiking Trey with a piledriver onto the steel steps. Callihan traps Trey underneath the steps but Trey escapes underneath the ring. Trey reemerges and sends Callihan crashing through a table with a cutter.
