Match 1.  Tasha Steelz  VS Knockouts Tag  Champion, Killer Kelly (with Masha Slamovich)

Look for Deonna Purrazzo to get behind her new friend, Tasha at some point.   This is the first singles match for Steelz since her return.  Kelly uses some power moves, including a stalled suplex to start the match.  Steelz rolls to the outside to regroup.  She then greets Kelly, who tries to follow her.  Steelz lands a draping DDT from the apron to the floor.  Steelz carries the momentum back in the ring with kicks, back elbows and a double stomp.  Kelly is then dumped to the outside.  Steelz basement dropkicks Slamovich on the floor from the ring.  Steelz then pump kicks Kelly back in the ring.  Steelz then clamps on the camel clutch.  She floats to a crossface.  Kelly gets free and starts teeing off on Steelz.  She then lays in kicks and short arm clotheslines.  Kelly then delivers a headbutt, into a butterfly suplex.  After a dropkick in the corner, Kelly gets a two count on Steelz.  Kelly then locks on a sleeper.  Deonna Purrazzo runs out and pulls the ref from the ring.  Masha loses it on the outside.  Steelz lands the blackout on Kelly and pins her.

Winner, Tasha Steelz

Jonathan Gresham is asked by Gia Miller about his cheating against Mike Bailey last week.  Bailey walks up asks what the problem is with his friend.  Gresham walks off.

Digital Media Champion, Tommy Dreamer is in the ring with the mic.  He calls out Crazzy Steve, who enters.  Dreamer talks about his longtime friendship with him.  Tommy really talks Steve up.  This is good stuff.  He talks about his blindness and how he is a real life, Daredevil.  Tommy asks if he wants a shot all he has to do is ask.  Tommy tells him he isn’t the best blind wrestler, he is one of the best wrestlers.  Tommy tells him anytime.  This makes Steve emotional.   They embrace.  Then we see Tommy grimace.  Steve stabs him in the back with a fork.  People run out to help Tommy and Steve tells Tommy he will see him soon.  He is calling himself The Angel of Death.

Match 2.  Jake Something & Dirty Dango (with Alpha Bravo) & Champagne Singh & Eric Young & Jordynne Grace vs. Brian Myers & Mahabali Shera & KiLynn King & Jody Threat & Bully Ray

The match starts with a interesting exchange with King and Dango facing off.  Dango wants none of it.  Both tag out to Singh and Shera, who also just tag out.  They are normally partners.  Singh ends up back in with Jody, who has her way with him.  Dango ends up back in.  Bravo interferes and he stomps Threat, who fell to the floor.  Dango puts on a crown, since we are in Nashville.  He tries the Jerry Lawler fist drop, but Threat kicks him from the mat.  Grace and Brian Myers tag in.  He takes it to Grace.  King tags in and works Grace over in their corner.  King then delivers a delayed suplex.  Grace recovers on Myers, who tags back in.  She suplexes him and calls out Bully.  Bully tags in and they start arguing.  She can’t suplex him and Bully slams her.  He then mocks her, but misses and elbow.  EY tags in and he evens up the match.  Shera eventually interferes for Bully.  Bully and King then double suplex EY.  EY recovers and dropkicks Bully.  Grace and Threat tag in.  Grace slams Jody several times.  King blind tags Threat and side kicks Grace to the head.  Something tags in and basically takes out everyone, even his partners Singh and Dango.  Shera jumps Something from behind.  Jake recovers and sidewalk slams Shera for the win.

Match 3.  Fans revenge match. The ABC, Chris Bey and Ace Austin VS Jai Vidal and John Skyler

The trick to this match is, certain fans have been given leather straps, which they can use on combatants during select times of the match.  The crowd is firmly behind the Bullet Club.  The fans can go after anyone on the floor.  Skyler bails to the floor and a fan pelts him.  The fans have the right to whip them until they get back in the ring.  Bey gets tossed to the floor, but the fans Too Sweet him and take selfies.  Vidal comes down furious and gets whipped.  Skyler is then on the floor and the fans take turns whipping him.  He is covered in welts.  Back in the ring, Bey and Ace double team Vidal.   They basically crush him.  Bey then runs outside and celebrates with the fans more.  Vidal is attacked by more fans and runs in to get attacked by Ace.  Ace then throws him back out and Vidal gets destroyed.  Skyler interferes from the apron.  He tags in and finally gains an advantage for his team.  Skyler throws Ace to the floor.  The fans help him back in the ring gently.  Ace kicks Skyler to the floor.  He is pelted again.  This is hilarious.  Vidal tags in.  Ace wizard kicks him.  Bey tags in and backdrops Skyler back to the floor.  He is attacked, but can’t get back in the ring.  All the fans get shots in.  Bey dives on him on the floor.  Back in the we the art of finesse and the fold and it is over.
