Hangman Page defeated Spencer Slade (1:21)
Slade was born deaf and wears amateur headgear and hearing aids. Page killed him with a fallaway slam and lariats in the corners. A pop-up into a powerbomb and cradle got Page the win.
Britt Baker (w/ Rebel) defeated Tesha Price (5:28)
This was a bit of a struggle early on as it didn’t seem like they were on the same page. Baker hit a DDT followed by an air raid crash. From there, Baker went right into the Lockjaw for the submission.
Jurassic Express defeated Midas Black and Jay Lyon (1:49)
This was a comedy squash. Lyon and Black are the team that does the circus lion/liontamer gimmick, so this match with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus seemed like a natural. Lyon had some kind of steak (allegedly) hanging out of his mouth. Jungle Boy pinned Lyons and Black in a pile after a pair of fireman’s carry slams.

I’m going to apologize in advance if I’m a little off this week, I started coming down with something yesterday and I’ve had an annoying head cold going today. We’ll let’s get into it.

Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight were on commentary…
1.
“Hangman” Adam Page vs. Spencer Slade. Page faked a Buckshot lariat as he entered the ring making Slade jump. Page with repeated strikes and clotheslines. Page stacked Slade with a powerbomb for the pinfall.
Adam Page beat Spencer Slade by pinfall in 1:30.
After the match Page gave Rick Knox a beer as Tony and Paul hyped Kenny Omega appearing tonight.
Bailin’s Breakdown: Very quick match, not much else to say about that one. I guess of note though Page won without using the Buckshot Lariat, opting for the powerbomb instead.
