The show kicked off with Roxanne Perez feeling the effects of what seemed an attack from Toxic Attraction. Perez was lying on the floor while Cora Jade called for help.

Giovanni Vinci versus Apollo Crews

Vinci took down Crews with a shoulder tackle. He followed up with a kick to the mid-section. Both superstars exchanged a few hard chops before Crews delivered a wonderful dropkick.

Vinci threw Crews outside the ring and dropped him on the barricade. Crews came back into the match with three German suplexes. Vinci showed an impressive display of his power when he caught Crews out of mid-air and delivered an overhead suplex.

Vinci went outside the ring and took a cell phone from a fan and returned to the ring. The referee was busy taking the phone away from him when Xyon Quinn appeared out of the crowd area and hit a huge right hand to Crews. Vinci followed it up with a powerbomb to pick up the win.
