X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP: TIGRE UNO vs. TREVOR LEE w/ SHANE HELMS
Right away this match starts off with fast paced action that favors Tigre Uno’s style and we see some near pin falls. Trevor Lee is vicious on Tigre Uno, this seems to be his strategy to stop all of Uno’s momentum, and keep the luchadore grounded. It all seems to be a fight plan well thought out by Shane Helms. Tigre Uno has had enough and gets fired up, and starts to use the Six Sides of Steel to his advantage by repeatedly throwing Trevor Lee into the walls. Tigre Uno climbs to the top of the cage and delivers a massive flying cross body onto Trevor Lee! Shane Helms is shocked on the outside at what he’s just seen, and Tigre Uno is slow to cover, which allows Trevor Lee to desperately kick out on the 2 count. Trevor Lee is able to gain the upper hand quickly with some heavy knee strikes and hits Tigre Uno with his Fisherman’s Buster to retain the X-Division Title.
Winner and still X-Division Champion: Trevor Lee

Velvet sends Jade into the steel walls multiple times, and hits a big Neck Breaker on Marty keeping the Doll’s House down. The next entrant into the match is Doll’s House member Rebel. Rebel throws some mean Roundhouse Kicks into the heads of Gail Kim and Velvet Sky along with delivering some innovative Back Breakers. Rebel grabs a baking pan and blasts Gail Kim with it, Jade unloads with a kendo stick but it backfires and all the Knockouts are taken out. The final entrant into the match is Maria taking Madison Rayne’s place for the Beautiful People. However instead of competing and earning respect of the Knockouts division, Maria turns her back on The Beautiful People and Gail Kim. Maria locks them all in the cage, leaving The Beautiful People outnumbered by The Doll’s House. After some hardcore weapons offense there are a few near pins, but in the end Jade delivers a Piledriver to Gail Kim on a chair and gets the win, claiming victory in the Knockouts Lethal Lockdown Match for The Doll’s House.

Backstage we see Tyrus let The World Champion Matt Hardy know it’s time to go to the ring, Hardy and Tyrus enter the arena. Hardy and EC3 face off in a stare down that quickly erupts into trading punches to the head, and chops to the chest. After a flury of offense by EC3, Matt Hardy is able to battle back and regain the advantage. From the outside Tyrus throws a chair over the top of the cage to Matt Hardy. Hardy unloads a hard chair shot across the back of EC3, while Tyrus verbally berates Ethan Carter from the outside, reminding him that he’s “all alone now”. Matt and EC3 continue to trade high impact moves to each other, Matt hits multiple Side Effects, and Ethan hits the TK3, but neither man get the victory. While on the outside, Tyrus has removed the chain from the cage door and stands in the way of EC3 exiting the Six Sides of Steel. EC3 invites Tyrus to get into the ring so he can get some retribution on his former bodyguard. Tyrus accepts and comes into the ring and gets layed out by EC3, if only for a moment. Tyrus recovers and tries to lock EC3’s wrist to the cage but it backfires and Tyrus finds himself locked to the cage. EC3 unloads on him repeatedly with extremely hard steel chair shots. Ethan Carter turns around and out of no where Matt Hardy hits the Twist of Fate and covers, but EC3 is able to barely kick out on 2. Eventually both men climb their way to the top rope, and both suffer the consequences of a top rope side Russian leg sweep. Both men are winded and down from that crash but Matt Hardy is able to get to his feet first and regain the upper hand. Hardy puts a chair around the neck of EC3 and hits him with another Twist of Fate. EC3 refuses to give up and kicks out again out of desperation. Matt and EC3 continue to ground and pound each other as they crawl to the cage door. Reby Hardy comes to ringside with a hammer in her hands to give to Matt Hardy, but Rockstar Spud appears and runs down to stop her. Suddenly Spud turns and slams the Six Sides of Steel door shut on the skull of EC3, knocking him out cold. The UK crowd is in shock at what they are witnessing. Rockstar Spud opens the cage door and allows The Champion Matt Hardy to exit the cage and retain his World Title. Things take a vial turn at the end when Matt Hardy commands Rockstar Spud to “Kill The Cancer” referring to EC3. Rockstar Spud straddles a knocked out and defenseless EC3 laying on the steps. Rockstar raises the chair and smashes the skull of EC3 again on the steel steps. Rockstar Spud has sold out to Matt Hardy.
