Deonna had Shazza tied up in the tree of woe and then speared Shazza. Deonna power bombed Shazza and then applied the Fujiwara arm bar, forcing Shazza to tap out!
“Purrazzo is making a statement like always,” said Tony Schiavone.
Tony Schiavone brought out Don Callis and the Don Callis Family (Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer, and Konosuke Takeshita) ahead of the main event!
Don Callis: “I have something important to say. You know, I know you’re very shocked by how we conduct our business, but what business do you think we’re in, Schiavone? I’m in the money making business, along with the rest of my family. Kyle Fletcher dominated Will Ospreay and Will, you’ll never be the same. How does it feel, bruv?
“But wait it gets better. A few days later he did the impossible. He got in the ring with a man who has been called the greatest tournament wrestler in history, Okada, and Fletcher beat Okada. So how does it feel, bitch?”
Kyle Fletcher: “Kansas City, you can boo me as much as you want. You can cheer for that bum Ospreay, but it changes absolutely nothing. I have a watch on my wrist that costs more than the car you drive, and I will be the winner of the Continental Classic. So tomorrow on Collision, Mark Briscoe, I hope you bring more than your redneck Kungfu because winning this tournament is my destiny.”
Callis: “One thing is very obvious to me. The Don Callis Family are the one-percenters of All Elite Wrestling. There is no one in the back who is big enough and bad enough to get in the ring with us!”
