Ray would hit a lariat and get a close two count then going for his Bully Bomb which Odinson broke, then hitting Ray with a hard pouncing shoulder tackle. As Odinson reached for the pinfall cover, the bell rang. The match went to a time limit draw, awarding both men, and their teams, with two points.

Thom Latimer defeats EC3 via Disqualification
The two men exchange blows back and forth with Latimer gaining the advantage. EC3 blinds Thom Latimer with an eye poke that leaves him dazed. Both men continue to exchange with Latimer attempting his Crossface maneuver only to be overpowered by EC3 with a Thesz press. He then begins to gouge at the eyes of Latimer before the referee calls for the bell. Latimer is rewarded a point for a basic disqualification.
The match is then restarted as Latimer seemed able to continue fighting. EC3 holds the upper hand as he toys with the blinded Latimer. As EC3 goes for his finishing DDT/bulldog move, Latimer reverses into the Crossface. He has the hold locked in but cannot see his opponent reaching the ropes. The referee begins the count to break the hold but Thom Latimer is unable to realize that it is because EC3 has his hands on the bottom rope. The referee reaches the 5 count and calls for the bell. EC3 wins via extreme disqualification and receives 3 points.

A four way elimination style match was held next to determine the alternates for the teams in the Champion Series tournament.

Freeman reverses and rolls up Andrews, eliminating him by pinfall with assistance from the other two competitors. The three go back and forth with strikes and holds resulting in Sal locking a figure four leg lock on Plunkett.
