The semifinal was a rematch from last year as the two athletes previously wrestled to a draw. It’s safe to say there was unfinished business and it was Rhodes that came out on top. Similar to the original match, Rhodes dominated the early portions but he couldn’t put Allin away despite hitting a Cross Rhodes. This forced Rhodes to go for a high-risk maneuver in a coffin drop but Allin got his knees up and then hit a coffin drop of his own. However, Rhodes was able to reverse the pin attempt with a backslide to get a three count of his own.
It has been all @CodyRhodes thus far in this #TNTChampionship Tournament Semi-Finals Match!
