Ken Anderson is backstage talking about his I Quit match, and he continues to mock Samuel Shaw and says he’s creepy and he doesn’t like him. Shaw hops a guardrail and tells Anderson that Gunner is trying to help them, and Anderson should apologize because this is his fault. Anderson gets pissed and hits him, then they brawl and go to the ground, throwing punches as we cut to a break.
I Quit Match
Ken Anderson vs Samuel Shaw
We get back to see the match in progress in the arena, and Anderson stumbles down the ramp and grabs a chair. Shaw chokes him with some cables before Anderson slams him on the ramp, then Gunner comes out and stares Anderson down. He watches as Shaw slams Anderson into the barricade and steps, then he whips him into the corner and clotheslines Anderson before he puts him in a Camel Clutch. Anderson fights out and hits a spinning neckbreaker, then Shaw slams him in the corner but Anderson sidesteps a tackle and sends Shaw into the ringpost. Anderson slams him on the mat with a diving armbar, then he applies an elevated armbar and Shaw finally screams that he quits.
Winner – Ken Anderson
BP: This was a good match; I like that Anderson, who is usually a goof, played it pretty serious considering the type of match. They are making Shaw seem sympathetic, which is good work considering he was a creep and heel for a while. I know this definitely isn’t over, because it seems like they like to drag Anderson’s feuds out, but there’s more story to be told.
