Kazarian hits a Guillotine Leg Drop on the apron, followed by a running clothesline. Hendry fights off a Chicken Wing attempt, then turns the tide with a Fallaway Slam. Kazarian counters the Standing Ovation into a neckbreaker for two. Hendry almost puts him away with a Trust Fall, cutter combo. Kazarian connects with Fade to Black but it’s not enough to keep Hendry down. Both men are down following a Superplex from Hendry. Following multiple pin attempts, Hendry rolls up Kazarian to win the match and the Glasgow Cup.

Josh Alexander and Eric Young form an all-Canadian dream team as they face off against IMPACT World Champion Alex Shelley and X-Division Champion Chris Sabin! Alexander secures an early Ankle Lock on Shelley but Sabin quickly fights him off. Alexander sends Sabin to the outside with a big boot but the distraction allows Shelley to gain control with a Dragon Screw. Shelley locks in a Figure Four on Alexander while Sabin does the same to Young. Alexander creates some much-needed separation with a Fisherman’s suplex to Shelley. The pace quickens as Young is tagged into the match and he takes Shelley of his feet with a running forearm. Shelley counters the Piledriver into a back body drop, then drives him face-first into the turnbuckle. Alexander hits Sabin with a series of German suplexes. Sabin counters the C4 Spike, then connects with a running dropkick for two. Alexander locks in the Ankle Lock on Sabin, then transitions into a Sharpshooter. Sabin bounces back with the Cradle Shock. Young bites Sabin on the top rope, then soars with an elbow drop but he’s not the legal man. Sabin spikes Young with a tornado DDT, followed by the Cradle Shock. Sabin pins Young to score the victory for the Motor City Machine Guns.
Winner: The Motor City Machine Guns via Pinfall.
