Austin Aries vs Alex Shelley
Aries attacks Shelley before the bell and chokes him on the ropes, then leaps the ropes to hit a dive but Shelley gets his knees up. Shelley gets a few near falls, then Aries begs him off in the corner, but Shelley slams him down and goes for an inside cradle. He chops Aries in the corner then ships him across the ring, and drop toe holds him into the middle turnbuckle. Aries gets a foot up but Shelley catches him and puts a leg whip and tries to get Aries to tap to a spinning figure four.
Aries grabs the ropes and Shelley tells him to get up, then avoids Aries in the corner, but Aries telegraphs it and holds on to drop Shelley with a neckbreaker on the apron. Aries follows up with a dive off the top rope but only gets two, and he tries setting up a superplex but Shelley shoves him off and hits a single leg kick to send Aries outside. Shelley tells the ref to move and hits a suicide dive, then rolls Aries back in and goes for a double stomp but misses. Shelley rolls him up for two, then Aries shoves him outside and tries using Shelley's leather jacket spikes as a weapon.
The referee sees him taunting the crowd with it and takes the jacket away then Shelley sets up for Sliced Bread. Aries reverses it by crotching Shelley on the middle rope, then kicks him low again and drops him with the Brain Buster to pick up the win. Aries continues to attack him and says he won fair, but Brian Kendrick comes out and makes the save for Shelley.
Winner – Austin Aries
They play a short clip of Eric Young in Hollywood trying to get an agent and make it on television. He meets a casting director while wearing his titles and ring gear and he has an audition until the woman tells him he is wasting her time and he needs to leave. (Missable.)
