Sammy Guevara charged at Scorpio Sky as the match began but Sky got the better of the opening exchange, raining down lefts and rights on Guevara. We had dueling, "Let's go Sammy, Sammy sucks" chants as Guevara made his comeback. Sammy leapfrogged Scorpio Sky twice before taking him down with a dropkick.
The match spilled out to ringside as Scorpio Sky sent Sammy throat-first into the steel barricade. Back from the commercial break, Sky laid into Sammy with a few vicious body shots and followed it up with a series of backbreakers.
Sammy hit back with an enzeguiri in a last gasp attempt to buy some time and then hit a Spanish Fly for a two-count. As Sammy headed to the top rope, Ethan Page came out and rolled Scorpio Sky out of the ring. Sammy wiped out both men at ringside with a Shooting Star Press.
We saw Tay Conti briefly get involved from ringside, which almost led to Sammy Guevara rolling Sky up for the win. Dan Lambert called out Paige VanZant, who laid into Tay Conti. Sammy Guevara used the distraction to hit Scorpio Sky with a low blow and he followed up with the GTH to win the TNT Championship for the third time.
