Back from commercial break, a commercial airs for Double or Nothing. Then, we see actions from last week leading up to the next match featuring Jimmy Havoc and Orange Cassidy.
Jimmy Havoc vs. Orange Cassidy
Jimmy attacks Cassidy before he can even get his jacket and glasses off. Jimmy Havoc started choking Cassidy with his own denim jacket as Chris Jericho cheered on from commentary. Jimmy takes the shirt off of orange Cassidy and chops him and then takes him to the floor and throws him into the guardrail. Jimmy then crotches Cassidy on the guardrail and suplexes him to the floor. This match is all Cassidy as it stays on the floor and Havoc continues to chop him as he lays against every ring post.
.@JimmyHavoc has been in control for this entire match against @orangecassidy!

Back in the ring, Jimmy Havoc begins to work on the arm and hand of Cassidy punching him in the arm. Orange still has yet to get in any offense. Orange gets in two boots to the face but Jimmy Havoc quickly takes him down with a Death Valley Driver. Acid Rainmaker by Jimmy Havoc into an armbar. Jimmy forcefully put Orange’s hands in his own pockets. Suddenly, Cassidy fires up and it’s a suicide dive and a flying crossbody and the tornado DDT for the count of two. Havoc briefly gain control again but orange Cassidy was able to hit a lazy splash and still got a two count because wrestling is real.
Name this move from @orangecassidy.
