Jay White vs Kamaitachi w/Christopher Daniels

Kamaitachi takes an early advantage, seinding White out to the floor within the first minute of the match. Kamaitachi runs along the apron and does a perfect front drop kick that sends Jay flying back. Daniels lays Jay out as soon as he gets back up, tossing Jay back into the ring. Kamaitachi starts focusing on White’s leg, which is smart because his speed is his main weapon, wrapping his leg around the ring post as we go to commercial. Back in the ring Kamaitachi applies a figure four leg lock, but can’t get White to tap before he gets to the ropes. White finally lands some offense with a beautiful float over DDT as the crowd gets behind him. White then hits a running uppercut into a brainbuster then a missle dropkick for a close 2 count. Kamaitachi comes back and hits the Sugoi Knee of the top for a 2 count, surprising everyone. White hits a dropkick then a uranagi for another close 2 count. Daniels gets on the apron, but Kamaitachi runs into him and White hits the Kiwii Crusher for the pin and the win.

-After the match Kazarian comes in and attacks White, but it is short lived as the Motor CIty Machineguns save White. Alex Shelley gets on the mic and says he doesn’t understand why Kamaitachi is aligned with The Addiction, saying they should just do a 6-man tag right now.
