Hot on the heels of being caught out by Cora Jade, Legado del Fantasma looked to make an example out of her boyfriend Trey Baxter backstage, only for Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen to step in because... well, they love a good scrap.

Not ones to lay down should they feel like they don't have the upper hand, Legado would then attack the lads before their scheduled match, setting up a battle against the odds for the underdog bar room brawlers. Proving to be a sweet clash of styles, Briggs and Jensen's explosive grit complimented Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza's smooth luchador stylings to perfection.

The presence of Santos Escobar and Elektra Lopez at ring-side also provided the usual array of shenanigans, but thankfully their interference didn't directly influence the finish as much as you'd think. After Santos once again tried to get Jensen's attention on the apron, the p*ssed off brute soon caught the former Cruiserweight Champion off-guard, giving him some much needed comeuppance for his sly work on the night.

But Legado's quick thinking led to an emphatic Russian Leg Sweep/Enziguri combo for the decisive victory shortly after.

Briggs and Jensen look like warriors for rising to the Legado challenge despite being jumped and distracted on numerous occasions, but Wilde and Mendoza overcame Santos' failed attempts to leave the duo with egg on their face to still come away with the win. Not a bad night of work for both sides.
