Murphy dropkicked Black into the ring post and suplexed him onto the floor. Black stomped Murphy on the floor and rocked him with a running knee. Murphy countered Black Mass and almost picked up the win with a roll-up. But the referee didn’t count the three because Murphy was holding Black’s trunks. A stiff kick sent Murphy tumbling off the top and into the security barricade. Black floored Murphy with a kick but Murphy countered a springboard moonsault. He hit Murphy’s Law but Black got his foot on the rope to stop the three count. Murphy tried to hit Black Mass but Black countered and hit it himself for a near fall. A second Black Mass earned Black the win.
