PWR Tag Team Championship Match (2-out-of-3 Falls) The Network (c) (James “Idol” Martinez and Alexander Belmonte III) vs. The YOLO Twins (Yohann and Logan Ollores)

The Twins easily got the first fall with a Two Night Stand on Idol after they took out AB3 from outside. The second fall was also fast after Belmonte III tore through the twins inside the ring, until one of the twins delivered a lowblow that the referee saw. The referee disqualified the twins to tie the match 1-1.

The final fall saw the twins double-team on Belmonte III and focus on the bigger man’s leg. AB3 made the hot tag and Idol went en fuego!~ on Yohann and Logan. Idol avoided a double team and rolled one of the twins for the near fall. The twins took out AB3 but didn’t notice Idol catching a spray can. Idol used the spray to blind one twin and use the Two Night Stand on the other Ollores twin to get the 2-1 victory and retain the PWR Tag Team Titles.

Miguel Rosales rushed at ringside to chase off Mahaba and Imabyashi off the ring. He helped Panzer up and grabbed the PWR title belt. Rosales placed the belt on the mat for Ralph to swipe it away and leave ringside. After the show, we were informed that Rosales and Panzer brawled with Imabayashi and Mahaba backstage and it led to Panzer being sent toppling down a stairwell. PWR reported that due to the incident, Chris Panzer will be out for a couple of months with an injured back.
