(5) Ricochet upset PWG champion Kevin Steen. Ricochet pulled the upset via reverse huracanrana and Phoenix Splash. Prior to the finish, Brian Cage ran into the match and ate a Package Piledriver from Steen, which provided a distraction for Ricochet to win.

(6) Sami Callihan beat Willie Mack after three lariats.

(7) Adam Cole beat El Generico with a small package to continue the second-half trend of upsets. Cole played the heel and was great in his role.

(8) Michael Elgin beat Davey Richards with a bucklebomb and spinning powerbomb. Best match of the show, but did not top their Match of the Year Contender over WrestleMania weekend. Early on, there was a spot where Elgin held Richards in the air for a full one-minute delayed vertical suplex.

After the match, Elgin put over Richards as his toughest opponent in wrestling. Richards then told Elgin to win the whole tournament.
