Commentators: Jim Ross, Chris Russo, & S. William Regal. Ring announcer: Caylee Turner. I note that the broadcast table has been moved to ringside in recent weeks...
Xavier Woods, C.J. Parker, & Jason Jordan vs. Tag Team Champion Corey Graves & Jake Carter & Brad Maddox(w/ Abraham Washington): Abe enlightens us before the match and personally introduces his trio. Graves kicks out of an attempted O'Connor Roll by Jordan, leading to Carter pulling the ropes apart so Jordan tumbles all the way to the floor. Carter is already a company man as he has his Twitter handle on his tights. Jordan ducks and dodges his way to his corner...despite the heel trio's best efforts, he finally makes the hot tag to Xavier! Chaos breaks loose as the faces clear the ring...J.R. sneaks in a Vader reference regarding Carter(Vader's son) shortly before Xavier hits Lost In The Woods(sliding Flatliner on a kneeling Carter) for the win over one of the Tag Champs!
Mike Dalton vs. Kazma Sakamoto: The commentators discuss the respective training of the competitors(Lance Storm and the Kaientai Dojo, in that order). Good solid match between these two...Dalton was only champion for a short time but that elevated his status quite a bit. Sakamoto controls the action for a while but jumps off the second rope right into Dalton's raised boot. El Big Comeback ensues...Sakamoto blocks an attempt at the elevated DDT, but Dalton stuns him with a spinkick and hits the finisher on the second try for the victory.
Adam Mercer is coming soon...
Raquel Diaz vs. Audrey Marie for the Women's Title: Raquel won the title from Audrey several months ago and they've fought a few times since then. Raquel teases a Gory Bomb but Audrey backdrops her way out of it...only for Raquel to counter into a rollup pin with a handful of denim for the cheap fall.
Jiro Takizawa vs. Big E Langston: Big E got some WWE TV exposure recently at John Cena's training facility...Regal suggests a partnership with Mark Henry and that seems like a natural fit. I don't see this matchup being too competitive...he finishes with the Big Ending in short order.
Husky Harris(w/ Eli Cottonwood) enlightens us once again...
Benicio Salazar vs. Kassius Ohno: Salazar is making his FCW TV debut...he was known in Mexico as El Hijo Del Medico Asesino and Terror Negro. I don't see this going well for him...Regal notes that Ohno has lost a lot of weight in the time he's known him. Ohno uses a unique jawbreaker variation as he delivers it to the side of the head rather than directly to the chin...Regal makes note of that fact. Salazar gets a good run of offense and gets a near-fall with a La Majistral cradle, but Ohno blocks a monkeyflip attempt and shoves him into the ropes for the ROARING ELBOW~! That'll do it.
Dean Ambrose vs. James Bronson, tap-out match: This is essentially a submission match under a different name...of course Regal has an interest in this match due to his recent issues with Ambrose. Ambrose goes right on the attack, not even waiting for the opening bell...I'm sure some would classify this as an MMA-style match as they exchange a lot of mat grappling. Ambrose maneuvers into his Death Wish II reverse armbar, but Ambrose escapes the predicament and beats Bronson down. Bronson blocks a knee trembler attempt to deliver an exploder suplex, but misses a forearm strike and gets caught with the knee trembler on this exchange. Ambrose glares at Regal before locking Bronson in the Regal Stretch...Regal suddenly walks away from the broadcast table and leaves the ringside area at that point. Bronson finally taps out to the hold, but Ambrose is upset about Regal's actions and follows him to the backstage area. He can't find Regal, so he vents his frustrations to the nearby cameraman...he's lost a lot in life and now Regal is denying him something else: His rematch!
So long from the Sunshine State!
