Charging elbow to the back of the head of a grounded Hook! One, two, no! Perry grabs the belt but the referee grabs it back and Hook catches him with a head and arm suplex, but the referee was sandwiched in the corner and there’s no one to count! Hook tries to wake the referee up and Perry drills him with the belt. Perry makes the cover for the win!
Winner and NEW FTW Champion: Jack Perry
Rating: **3/4. Lots of plodding throughout the break, but the middle and the end of this were a lot of fun. Jack Perry is very unlikeable, so this could be a nice bad guy run here.
Don Callis and Chris Jericho arrive together in a limo in the back.

Slingblade by Baker. Baker charges and eats a boot, but comes back with a butterfly suplex. Fisherman’s neckbraker by Baker and the Lockjaw finishes it.

Guevara looks for the cutter off the middle rope but gets caught by MJF, tag to Cole, and a superkick to the face! Double clothesline misses again and Garcia makes the blind tag and comes in with a double chop block! Garcia locks in the DragonTamer but Cole eventually gets the ropes. Cole sends Garcia over the top rope and to the floor, on top of Guevara. Cole tells MJF to dive to the floor, but MJF thinks better of it. Cole kicks both guys in the face and begs MJF to dive… and MJF hits the suicide dive! Crowd goes bananas! Panama Sunrise to Garcia! DOUBLE. CLOTHESLINE and they NAIL IT! One, two, three!
Winners: Adam Cole & MJF
Rating: ***1/2. The chemistry between Adam Cole and MJF is off the charts, and this match was one of the most entertaining I’ve seen in a long time. The showdown vs. FTR should be something special.
After the match, Guevara and Garcia walk right past Jericho on the ramp. Cole goes to hand the title to MJF, but MJF sees him holding it and rips it from his hand. After a quick tease, both guys hug it out.
FTR hits the ramp and we’ve got a stare down in the middle of the ring.

Winners: Golden Elite
Rating: ****3/4. Everything you’ve come to expect from Blood & Guts, and ten of the best in the world right now. The bed of nails was something new we hadn’t seen before, the glass spots were fun, this was just an absolute blast from start to finish. The BCC technically lost, but they were down two men and Danielson wasn’t there, so they’ll be fine.
Final Thoughts: This was all about Blood & Guts and it delivered. Jack Perry’s new attitude is a nice change, Adam Cole & MJF are must-see TV, and we saw insanity in the main event. I’m not sure where The Elite and BCC go now, but in essence, that should be the end of the feud. Thumbs way up. 9/10.
