Ethan Carter III (w/ Tyrus) vs Kurt Angle (c)
Kurt connects with some early strikes and a German suplex, then Ethan rolls outside but Kurt catches up and hits a belly-to-belly slam. Kurt hits a few more German suplexes, then Ethan catches him with a strike and splashes him, mocking Sting in the process. Ethan connects with a swinging cutter for two, then he hits a DDT on the apron as we go to a break.
We get back to see Kurt connect with a strike and another German suplex, then Ethan goes for another splash but Kurt hits some more German suplexes. Kurt calls for an ankle lock and rolls over, but Ethan kicks Kurt through the ropes to break it. Tyrus clotheslines Kurt on the floor, then Ethan goes for a One Percenter but Kurt counters with four more German suplexes. Tyrus jumps on the apron and Kurt goes after him, then Ethan tries to attack but Kurt sidesteps and Ethan inadvertently hits Tyrus and knocks him down. Kurt slams Ethan back down and puts him in an ankle lock, but Ethan kicks him away, this time towards the ref.
Kurt stops himself but Ethan rushes towards them, and Kurt inadvertently sends Kurt into the ref. Tyrus runs in and slams Kurt on the mat, then Ethan revives the ref and hits a One Percenter. Kurt somehow kicks out and Ethan looks beside himself, then Tyrus grabs a chair but the ref tosses him out of the match. Kurt applies an ankle lock after things settle down, and he grapevines Ethan’s leg but Ethan reaches for the ropes. Kurt pulls him towards the center of the ring but Ethan kicks him back, then Kurt goes for an Angle Slam but Ethan counters with a rollup to win!
