Kaz and Jericho start this off with a lock up into the corner. Ref breaks it up. Another lock up, this time it’s Jericho getting Kaz in the corner. Kaz follows up with an arm drag into an arm wrench. Jericho gets out of it with a chop, but Kaz recovers with a dropkick. Jericho leaps to his partner, who makes the tag and immediately gets arm dragged himself into another wrench.
Scorpio gets the tag and lays Sammy out with a big ole backbreaker for a one count. Tag back to Kaz as they hit a drop toe hold into a springboard leg drop. Two count, before Sammy attempts a backflip pele, but Kaz evades it into
Jericho tries to make the save, but gets dropped by SCU, sending him Le Champion to the outside and send us into one last commercial break.
But during the break, Kaz keeps the heat on Sammy until Jericho sweeps Kaz’s leg from the outside behind the ref’s back. Sammy tags Jericho back in and he keeps the heat on Kaz for the remainder of the commercial break. Sammy gets the tag and gets his own heat on Kaz while gesturing to the crowd.
Spanish Fly from Sammy Guevara and attempts a Shooting Star, only for Kaz to evade it, leading to a hot tag from Scorpio. Big comeback spot from Sky.
Sammy gets out of a fireman’s carry position to hit a knee strike, but Scorpio hits a springboard cutter for a near fall, followed by a Dragon Sleeper. Chaos quickly breaks out with all men.
SCU attempt their tag finisher, but Hager pulls Kaz out the ring. Daniels suicide dives onto Hager, but Hager catches Daniels in mid air and slams him.
Guevara rolls up, but a kickout. Tag to Jericho and they go back and forth until Sky hits a TKO for a near fall. Then goes to the top rope for an elbow, but Jericho evades, attempts a Lionsault, but Sky gets the knees up.
Sky dives off the top, but gets caught with a Codebreaker in mid-air for a near fall. Jericho tries to follow up, but gets rolled up by Sky for the win. Jericho tears up at ringside, furious to send us off the air.
Winners: SCU
Grade: B-
Not gonna lie, I expected a little bit more from the main event. This was slightly a step above a standard tag team match. On the bright side, Scorpio Sky really shined and showed potential as a singles star. Plus, I liked the surprise upset win for him.
Overall Grade: B
Very, very good action from start to finish. Squash matches were full of meh material and the three way sticks out as well in the same vain, but the advertised matches, for the most part, did not disappoint. I’d still call this a must see show for PAC vs Hangman and MJF/Jericho’s promo.
