Bron Breakker took control of the contest early on, and he pinned Gunther. Gunther was kicked in the face, but was decapitated by a spear. Breakker attempted to hoist The Ring General for the finisher but was unable to do so.
Breakker appeared to have injured his shoulder and tumbled out of the ring before Gunther sent him to the ring steps. Gunther was in charge during the commercials, and when we returned, Breakker had a German Suplex and some massive chops.
Before Gunther got Breakker in a hold, he landed a German Suplex of his own. Before attempting another top rope maneuver, he was caught in the spear in mid-air, resulting in a couple of near falls. Bron Breakker ultimately hoisted Gunther and slammed him for the victory with the Gorilla Press Powerslam.
Following the bout, we saw Breakker’s father, Rick Steiner, praising his son on the win. We witnessed Steiner being taken hostage by Joe Gacy and Harland as the camera zoomed out. They clearly had a strategy, yet the show was cancelled, leaving viewers with a dilemma.
Winner: Bron Breakker
