Takeshita took down Nemeth with a brutal chop in the opening seconds of the match. Moments later, Ryan Nemeth connected a Dropkick, finally giving him an opening in the bout. The Wingmen member was firmly controlling the match, methodically wearing Konosuke Takeshita down.

The DDT star finally found his way back, thanks to his speed and agility, taking down his opponent with a shoulder tackle. Takeshita next hit a Spinning Sitout Powerbomb on Ryan Nemeth.

Despite a DDT from Nemeth, Takeshita quickly recovered and hit a Lariat. Just when the Japanese star was going for his finisher, Peter Avalon, who was at ringside, distracted him.

Martinez offered a handshake to Mazzerati just after the match started, but the latter just touched her hand instead of shaking it. The ROH Women's Champion quickly applied a headlock on her opponent.

Mazzerati finally managed to break the hold, after which she displayed some brashness that irked Mercedes Martinez. The former RAW Superstar tackled a few kick attempts from her opponent but eventually fell to a DDT for a two count. Mazzerati next connected a Snap Suplex for another two-count.

The challenger applied the Rearchoke on Martinez, but the latter quickly got out and laid Mazzerati down with a series of clotheslines. The ROH Women's Champion hit a Spinebuster for a close count. In the end, Mercedes Martinez hit the Execution and then applied the Brass City Sleeper for the win.
