Adam Copeland, Mark Briscoe, & Eddie Kingston vs. Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) & Action Andretti

Andretti and Briscoe start things off, with Action taunting the Redneck Kung Fu of the ROH champion…who responds with a takedown and an arm wringer! Andretti fights out, catching Briscoe in a side headlock before taking to the ropes…but Mark takes him right back down with a takeover! Exchange of holds follows suit, with Andretti taking Briscoe down with a headscissors and a spinning torneo for a nearfall!

Andretti sends Briscoe to the corner, but the champ responds with a springboard elbow to the face of Action…before sending him to the corner for some forearm strikes and a tag to Copeland! The two take Andretti down as Briscoe leaves the ring, but Andretti fights out of a Copeland suplex to lay in some kicks to the leg of the TNT Champion! Back elbow off the ropes takes Copeland down, but Action is struggling before getting a tag to Darius! Darius with a nearfall before tagging Dante in for a double-team, taking the champ to the canvas.

Dante mocks Briscoe and Kingston, and this gives Copeland an opening as he catches Dante with a big power slam! Tag made to Kingston, who lands a series of headbutts to take Dante to the corner before following with a big chop. Dante sent back to the corner, but he fights back before nailing a senton to take Kingston down! The champ fights right back, taking control as we go to picture-in-picture!

Picture-in-Picture: Kingston wears Dante down some more before tagging in Copeland, who continues the beatdown before Eddie tags right back in. Nearfall for the champ, who gets to his feet as Dante starts fighting back with some strikes of his own…only to be sent back to the corner by Kingston, who lays in some punches as we come back from break!

Dante catches the champ by surprise, keeping Kingston down long enough to tag Darius in while Briscoe makes a tag of his own! Exchange of strikes ends with Briscoe getting taken down, and Darius fends him and Copeland off before getting a nearfall. Dante gets involved after a tag as they double-team Briscoe, but the ROH champ fights back before tagging in Kingston! Quick tag by Andretti, who takes advantage of the ensuing chaos for a nearfall before Copeland breaks it up…and all six men charge for a clothesline!

And all six men drop to the canvas as a result! Eventually, it’s Andretti and Kingston back to their feet for an exchange of strikes before Action goes to the ropes…getting stopped by Kingston, who himself gets caught with a kick from Darius! Copeland catches him with an Impaler and Briscoe with a Jay Driller to send him out!

Andretti gets caught with a combo that ends in the Froggy Bow by Briscoe, and the team get the pin and the win!

Winner: Adam Copeland, Mark Briscoe, & Eddie Kingston via Pinfall.

All six men show a sign of respect, but the moment is cut short by a video from the House of Black, who warn their Dynasty opponents that their hopes will be destroyed tomorrow night. Malakai Black reaches out to Adam Copeland, talking about making him wonder if he’ll be close to hell…because for men like them, hell is where the heart is. We cut to a confused and slightly concerned Copeland as we cut away from ringside.

Powerhouse Hobbs vs. CJ Esparza

Hobbs absolutely demolishes CJ in the early going, and uh…doesn’t let up from there. Big focus here is on Don telling the Powerhouse to “rack him” and Hobbs obliging, before setting him up for a Torture Rack for a quick win!

Winner: Powerhouse Hobbs via Pinfall.

There are no DQs here as Hobbs smirks…only for Mox’s music to hit as the IWGP World Champion runs through the crowd for the save! “Wild Thing” continues to play as Mox and Hobbs go at it, giving your humble recapper Anarchy in the Arena flashbacks as back in the ring Fletcher beats Danielson down with a microphone.

The music finally cuts off as both Hobbs and Mox have disappeared through the crowd, and a chair is set up as Fletcher and Takeshita set Danielson up for a powerbomb…only for Bryan to reverse a hurricanrana to drive Takeshita onto the chair! Claudio in the ring with an arm wrapped in a chain for a very metal, very European uppercut on Fletcher and Takeshita!
