Cole and Atlas have never faced off against one another. Atlas shows off his technical prowess early on taking Cole down and working him over with a headlock. Cole counters into a headscissors but Atlas headstands out of it to Cole’s frustration.

Cole hits a series of strikes and then goes for the BOOM but Atlas moves and goes for a Moonsault only for Cole to move and Atlas lands on his feet. Atlas goes for a Roundhouse Kick but Cole ducks and they both go for Superkicks at the same time. Atlas hits a dropkick for a nearfall and then lights Cole up with chops in the corner. Atlas hits a series of kicks and knees and then goes up top but Cole shoves him off to the floor.

Cole throws Atlas into the barricade and then rolls him in the ring. Back in the ring, Cole continues to beat on Atlas with elbows and forearms. He chokes Atlas blatantly in the corner but Atlas fights his way out with elbows capped off with a Roaring Elbow.

Atlas tosses Cole back in the ring and hits a Springboard Missile Dropkick for two. Atlas goes for a Roundhouse Kick but Cole ducks and hits a Pump Kick followed by a Neckbreaker for a nearfall.

Cole charges into a Pump Kick from Atlas followed by a Vertcial Suplex Bomb for two! Atlas goes for a springboard move but Cole hits him with a Superkick in midair and you can tell Atlas blew his knee out there. Cole goes for the Panama Sunrise but Atlas just falls down, so Cole puts Atlas in a Kneebar for the submission.
