-
WTL B Block: HENARE & Great-O-Khan def TMDK (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls) — (19:21, Imperial Drop)
-
HENARE/O-Khan getting to 8 means that unless LIJ beat them and LIJ vs HoT ends in zero points (double DQ/count out or completely thrown out); one of HENARE/O-Khan, LIJ, or HoT will end with 10 points and thus TMDK and Tana/Jado are out. (Full scenarios in the block standings.)
-
In his post-match comments, HENARE says that after they beat the Young Bucks, they’ll give TMDK another shot at the titles.
