"Hellraiser" plays and Jericho Cross walks out to the ring with a mic. Promising to keep it short, he comments on how glad he is that the tournament is getting good responses thus far and that it is time for his surprise announcement. The two finalists will face off for the Trouble Trax Heavyweight championship... at Honorbound! The crowd loves it and with that, he leaves the ring to let the show get up and running.
The Wild Ones vs Chaos Collection
Steve and Mykael kick things off Mykael avoids the tie up attempt by ducking under and hitting a dropkick to the back.He does this again, but on the third attempt, Mykael is stopped from ducking the lock up with a knee to the face. Steve begins to pound on Mykael before throwing him around with hip tosses, arm drags and a suplex. He (unwisely) throws Mykael into his own corner, letting Asunder tag himself in. Asunder takes down Steve with a clothesline, then another before hitting Mathias off the apron. Asunder hits a leaping shoulder tackle but a pin gets just two.
Asunder stays on Steve anddrops a couple of elbows as he taunrs Mathias. Mathias makes the mistake of trying to get in the ring, letting Mykael and Asunder double team Steve as the ref tries to restrain Mathias. Asunder pulls up Steve and holds his arms behind his back while Mykael chops him. This backfires when Steve brings his foot up behind him, nailing Asunder in the balls to bring him down, allowing him to then punch Mykael in the throat. Making a desperate bid for the corner, he tags in Mathias, who brings each partner down in turn with high impact moves, one f which is a high shoulder tackle that gets Asunder tangled in the ropes. Mykael runs off another set of ropes to catch Mathias off guard, but Grmm ducks it. On the return, Mykael is hit with a double clothesline for the three count.
Winners: The Wild Ones via pinfall.
"Jacknife" Sam O' Riley vs Cyrus Porter
The match starts off with the trading of fisticuffs. Jacknife gains the advantage and begins to batter Cyrus with abandon. Suplex follows hip toss before Jacknife falls back on the strikes. An exploder suplex gets a 2 count. Sam whips Cyrus to the ropes, but Porter holds on and taunts Jacknife. When O' Riley rushes him, he gets back dropped over the ropes to the outside. Ref's count gets to 4. Jacknife grabs Porter's feet and trips him, pulling him out to reset the count. Porter manages to shove Jacknife into the steps to prevent being thrown into them himself. Porter then begins to hammer away at O' Riley, but stops when he hears the ref's count get to six. Jacknife joins him in the ring at seven.
Porter hits a spinebuster and a pin results in a 2 count. Sam gets peeved and tackled Cyrus to the mat, drags him to a corner and starts stomping on the chest before choking Cyrus with his boot. Jacknife stops at the count of 4 and then does it again. This time, he gets too angry000000 to listen, resulting in the move still being used at 5, resulting in the referee calling for the bell. O' Riley pulls Cyrus to his feet and hits the Jacknife, looking to make a point. He leaves the ring to jeers from the crowd.
Winner: Cyrus Porter by DQ
Quarrie-Naughton Caprice vs Stephon Davis
The bell rings and the match begins with a classic wrestling display of proper chain wrestling with lots of reversals as each man tries to gain leverage over the other. Quarrie goes for a back suplex, but Davis lands on his feet and immediately uses the same move-only for Quarrie to land the same way! Both men back up, obviously in deadlock. Quarrie then takes Davis down with a headlock takeover and keeps the headlock in place. Davis reverses with a back roll to get up and a gutwrench suplex, gaining a pop. Davis gets a 2 count before quarrie kicks out. Quarrie rolls up Davis right off his kickout and also scores a 2 count.
After going back and forth from the opening bell, Quarrie has taken the advantage and has Stephon against the ropes, chopping furiously at his chest. Davis is fired across the ring and Caprice hits a cross body, staying there for the pin, getting a 2 count. Davis is then sent into the corner and chopped a few times. Quarrie then goes for an overhand chop, but Davis reverses their positions and fires off a few of his own. He then seats Naughton on the top turnbuckle and hits a superplex, getting a 2 count on the pin. Both men get up slowly and Davis quickly hits his Intentional Grounding (TKO) and covers for a 3 count.
Winner: Stephon Davis via pinfall. He will advance to the final round at honorbound.
Bane vs Bluebird
Bluebird spends the first minute or two dodging Bane's strike and grapple attempts until he gets cocky and runs right into a clothesline. Bane hits a scoop slam and drops an eblow with his uninjured arm. Bane sends Bluebird into a corner and charges in with a clothesline, then sends Bluebird to the opposite corner and does the same again. Pin attempt reaches 2. Bane goes for a military press, but his arm still isn't 100% and buckles, allowing Bluebird to escape.and execute an arm drag on the way down. Bluebird runs to the ropes and hits a springboard moonsault but the cover is only a 1 count.
Later in the match, Bluebird is using his speed advantage to get around Bane, but a headscissors attempt fails when it is reversed into a tilt a whirl backbreaker. Pin attempt gets to 2. Bluebird is stirring as Bane does the Big Bane Spin as he feels his moment closing in. As Bluebird gets up, Bane steps forward with the Big Boot, but Bluebird ducks it, runs off the ropes and hits a dropkick to the knee. Bane is kneeling and Bluebird hits a shining wizard. With Bane down, Bluebird locks in an anaconda vise. Bane struggles furiously as the injured arm is being used for the hold, leaving him no choice but to tap out.
