Moose vs. Daga

The 6-person elimination match starts off as a one on one (so, essentially, it’s a Gauntlet Match in everything but name) between Daga and Moose, who powers Daga into the corner and slaps him to start. Sends him to the opposite corner, but Daga changes direction and tries use speedy, luchador offense to mount the big man. He dropkicks Moose to one knee, then hits a running dropkick to send Moose outside, then hits a diving corkscrew press.

He tries to send Moose back in the ring, but Moose back chops him. Daga runs to the apron to hit a moonsault and send Moose to the ground. He finally throws the big man into the ring and tries to follow up, but Moose suckers him and drives Daga into the middle turnbuckle. Back on his feet, he picks Daga back up just to chop him back down.

He then strong arms Daga into the corner back first into the turnbuckle. He clubs Daga’s already hurt back with his forearm, then follows up with a Dominator (shoutout to Farooq). He runs at Daga for a Spear, but Daga leapfrogs and Superman Punches Moose into the corner. He pops up to the middle rope, but Moose grabs him by the throat for a Go to Hell Spinebuster, but Daga reverses into a hurricanrana and follows up with a sat down dropkick for a two count.

Back to his feet, Moose hits a Spear outta nowhere to eliminate Daga. Right after, Moose’s next opponent is Rich Swann.
