King and Allin went back and forth early on here, taking it in turns to force each other out of the ring before controlling the space, refusing to let their opposite number back in. The difference in characters was highlighted when Darby broke this by diving through the ropes and onto his opponent, bringing the put to life.

King used his superior size to craft a handful of openings while Taz helped elevate the bout on commentary, openly rooting for King after his team's recent issues with Allin. Darby, however, was too much for BSHP, taking the W after rolling through a leg-trap submission.
