Result: Strong pins Lorcan after Strong and O'Reilly nail him with a devastating high-low to retain the titles (16:00).

Rating: While it wasn't ever particularly convincing that Era could lose this match, both teams did a remarkable job creating a sense of desperation regardless.

Lorcan and Burch proved themselves more than deserving of a prime-time title match and quickly won the crowd over, even if Era were always going to be the stars of the show.

It was just a superbly contested match throughout: Lorcan landing on the apron was especially nasty, and that double submission was so good it almost convinced the crowd the challengers could win. A red-hot opener if there ever was one. 8/10
