Ass makes the hot tag coming out of the break. Bowens lights up TV with punches and elbows the crap out of QT. The heels have one final hot stretch in them, with QT nailing a diamond cutter on Ass. They go to add insult to injury by targeting Ass’s crotch, but The Acclaimed get in there and interrupt their plans. Caster hits the mic drop on Solo and Ass makes the pin.
• Bowens cuts a promo after the match hyping up their trios title match against House of Black tomorrow night on Collision.

• Kris Statlander defeats Marina Shafir to retain the TBS title. There are five minutes left in the broadcast as the match begins. Stat takes Shafir down early, but Marina comes back with strikes in the corner. She judo tosses Stat down to the mat and gets on top to pound on her. Shafir kicks Stat from the front and back. Statlander catches her leg, picks Shafir up on her shoulders and drops her down to the mat. After a replay cut, Statlander hits a vertical suplex. There’s another replay cut. After the replay, Statlander goes for Friday night fever, but Shafir counters. Stat lands a discus lariat, and then puts Shafir away with Friday night fever for the pin.
• That’s the end of the show, folks!
