Back up and they slug it out but the One Winged Angel is countered into a sunset flip for two. Omega is back with a sitout powerbomb for two and shock is setting in. A middle rope moonsault drops Omega on the floor and a high crossbody gets two back inside. There’s a suicide dive to send Omega into the barricade and a 619 from the apron staggers him again. The V Trigger misses though and Angels grabs a rollup for two. Omega hits a running face shots to take Angels down (think a bulldog but from the front) and the brainbuster onto the knee knocks Angels silly. A few shots knock Omega into the corner but he’s back with the Kitaro Crusher.
Angels goes right after him to start but Omega knocks him back, including some chops. Non-title and commentary brings up Moxley’s issues during Omega’s entrance. We should get a replacement tonight though and that could be interesting. Jon Moxley, who was in the semifinals of the #1 contenders tournament, has decided to go to rehab for alcohol issues, which leaves a big hole in the brackets. We are less than three weeks away from Full Gear and things have been shaken up a bit. Location: Cable Dahmer Arena, Independence, MissouriĬommentators: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur
