Big F'n Deal came to the ring. Geter reminded the audience that there is still an open contract on the championship. "There's an open contract to any man who feels they can take this from me.

That's what PCW will stand for. Don't lay down for anyone. Not me, not Platinum and his little band of goons." JAM took the mic. "it's been a long two weeks.

JAM announced that he and Damien Silva are competing as a team for the 2016 Tag Team Season.
Match 3: Matt Gilbert vs. Brian Kane
Quasi Mandisco called Gilbert a Brian Kane wannabe. He then said that he and Brian Kane are Porterdale. It still amazes me how easy it was for him to get the crowd to love him considering the level of animosity they held for him for such a long time.
Kane hit two crisp arm drags and Gilbert responded with a nice dropkick. Gilbert hit stiff punches and kicks followed by a standing suplex. Gilbert and Kane went back and forth. Kane misjudged the moonsault, and Gilbert hit a flying clothesline for two. Two blows to the head from Gilbert were answered by chest chops from Kane. Kane could barely fight back to his feet, but he thwarted Gilbert at every turn. Gilbert kicked Kane in his injured shoulder for a two count. Kane stomped Gilbert's toes.
