After a Malakai Black & Brody King vs. Pac & Penta match, Black and King were going to attack Penta with a shovel when the lights went out… When they came back on, Buddy Matthews was standing in the ring and stared down Black… but then attacked Pac and aligned himself with the House of Black, then eventually hit Penta with a stomp on a chair as ordered by Malakai Black.
