(Before the match Lana says Rusev will win this tournament easy but their true goal is Dolph Ziggler and the World Television Championship. The fans give a great ovation for the hometown hero, Moose. The match is a contest of Power that most would figure Rusev to have the advantage. But Moose proves to be just as strong. Even press slamming the Bulgarian Brute. Later he hits the Pop-Up Clothesline for a near fall. He sends Rusev into the corner and charges right into a Savate kick by Rusev. Bulplex (Oklahoma roll transitioned into a Release German suplex) 1.. 2.. No! Moose kicks out!

(Tanahashi is asking officials if Uhaa can go. There is a doctor looking at the knee of Uhaa. But Uhaa says he's wrestling. Match starts slow as Tanahashi seems to feel uncomfortable going after the injured opponent. Uhaa hates pity and slaps Tanahashi across the face and tells him to give him his best.
The match is back and forth for a bit but then Tanahashi begins to work the leg of Uhaa by hitting a Dragon Screw Leg Whip. He looks for a Figure Four but gets rolled up into a Small Package for a 2 count. At one point they begin to chop each other to the chest. Back and forth they go. Uhaa is the bigger, stronger man and his chops are starting to hurt. Tanahashi stops the momentum with a kick. Then hits the ropes for a Slingblade but gets nailed with a clothesline. Uhaa covers again for 2. Uhaa sends Tana into the ropes for a big boot but Tanahashi catches it and delivers another Dragon Screw. Tanahashi goes up. As Uhaa starts to unsteadily rise.

(The fans are solidly in the corner of the challenger. Dreamer dominates the match early but a Gedo distraction turns the tide quickly. Okada resorts to choking Tommy on the ropes. Ramming his face into the turnbuckle. And even bodyslamming him on the floor outside but Dreamer keeps coming. Okada takes aim with punches to the bandaged head where Dreamer needed stitches after his encounter with Kevin Steen at BURN. Tommy's cut opens a little as we see the bandage turning red from blood.
Dreamer answers back though, going on a run of offense. He hits a DDT for 2. He sends Okada to the outside and whips him into the steel railing. Then drops Gedo with a right hand for good measure. He rolls Okada in the ring. As he enters Gedo grabs his leg out of view of the referee. Okada hits a dropkick to the side of Tommy's head. Then follows with Heavy Rain and goes up and hits a Flying Elbow. He does his Rainmaker pose. He goes for the Rainmaker but Tommy counters into a Death Valley Driver! 1.. 2..

Winner: Kazuchika Okada
After the match Gedo motions Lauren to enter nut she wants nothing to do with him. But Gedo warns her he will get her fired for discrimination.

He issues an open challenge for anyone in the UWF to face him at RECKONING.
