James Storm (Roode) vs. Eddie Edwards (Young)
The fans are entirely behind Edwards to start and Storm nails a quick shoulder to start. A hurricanrana sends Storm to the floor for a baseball slide with Eddie in full control. Back in and Storm sends him face first into the corner before driving some elbows into the chest. Storm catapults him throat first into the bottom rope but Eddie sends him back to the floor for a suicide dive.
Back in again with Eddie still in control but James grabs a quick Eye of the Storm for two. Edwards gets draped over the top rope for a reverse Stunner and two before Storm goes after his hand of all things. Storm takes too much time though and gets caught by a jumping enziguri to put him into the corner. Eddie breaks up a superplex attempt but dives into Closing Time. The Last Call is loaded up but Eddie ducks underneath it and grabs a rollup for the pin.
Team Young – 1 (3 matches remaining)
Team Carter – 0 (4 matches remaining)
Team Angle – 0 (4 matches remaining)
Team Roode – 0 (3 matches remaining)
Gail Kim (Carter) vs. Madison Rayne (Angle)
The fans are totally split as the girls take each other into the corner. Naturally the announcers ignore this to talk about some match from 1962. Madison takes her down to the mat and puts on a headscissors but Gail gets up and bails to the ropes. A headlock has Gail in trouble and she gets caught in a sunset flip for two. The mat humper sends Gail out to the floor before they shove each other a lot.
Team Young – 1 (3 matches remaining)
Team Carter – 1 (3 matches remaining)
Team Angle – 0 (3 matches remaining)
Team Roode – 0 (3 matches remaining)
BroMans (Team Carter) vs. Mr. Anderson/Sanada (Angle)

Team Young – 1 (3 matches remaining)
Team Roode – 0 (3 matches remaining)
Team Angle – 0 (2 matches remaining)
Eric Young (Young) vs. Bobby Roode (Roode)
Feeling out process to start with Eric taking him down to the mat before a shoulder knocks Roode out to the floor. Back in and Eric cranks on the arm as the announcers make fun of Mike Adamle. A right hand drops Roode in the corner but he sends Young out to the floor and into the barricade. Roode drops an elbow back inside before a neckbreaker gets two.
We hit the chinlock for a bit before the Blockbuster gets two on Eric. The fans get Young back into it to escape a sleeper but he gets sent to the apron for the strut. A belly to belly plants Roode and a missile dropkick gets two. Roode escapes the piledriver and gets two of his own off the spinebuster.
The Roode Bomb is countered into the wheelbarrow suplex into a neckbreaker for two. Eric goes up and blocks a superplex attempt before dropping the top rope elbow for a VERY near fall. Roode gets an elbow up in the corner but dives at Young and right into the piledriver for the pin.
Team Carter – 2 (2 matches remaining)
Team Young – 2 (2 matches remaining)
Team Roode – 0 (2 matches remaining)
Team Angle – 0 (2 matches remaining)
Kurt Angle (Angle) vs. Ethan Carter III (Carter)
Kurt Angle (Angle) vs. Magnus (Carter)
The Angle Slam is countered into a kind of Rock Bottom around the ribs. He loads up the top rope elbow but Angle runs the corner for the belly to belly superplex and two. The ankle lock goes on until Magnus quickly kicks away and nails a running clothesline. Now the top rope elbow connects for two but Magnus charges into the corner for some reason, allowing Angle to step to the side and nail the Slam for the pin.
Team Carter – 2 (1 match remaining)
Team Young – 2 (2 matches remaining)
Team Angle – 1 (1 match remaining)
Team Roode – 0 (2 matches remaining)

Team Young – 2 (1 match remaining)
Team Angle – 1 (1 match remaining)
Team Roode – 1 (1 match remaining)
Ethan Carter III (Carter) vs. Davey Richards (Angle)
Ethan quickly shoulders him out to the floor before knocking him into the ropes back inside. Back up and a flying tackle drops Carter to the floor where Davey can fire off kicks. Carter takes him down back inside and stomps away before driving in some shoulders in the corner. Davey gets taken down into a gutwrench before a knee to his ribs gets two.
Davey blocks the 1%er and nails the kick to the head. He puts on an ankle lock instead of covering but lets it go to try a top rope double stomp. Carter rolls away and nails a running clothesline for two. They head to the corner for a superplex but Davey headbutts Ethan down and gets two off a sunset bomb. The big kick to the head gets two more but Spud trips Davey, allowing the 1%er to send Team Carter to the finals.
Team Carter – 3 (0 matches remaining)
Team Young – 2 (1 match remaining)
Team Angle – 1 (0 matches remaining)
Team Roode – 1 (1 match remaining)
Bully Ray/Gunner (Young) vs. Kenny King/Samuel Shaw (Roode)
Team Young vs. Team Carter in the finals.
Ethan sends Spud off to get some coffee and then takes credit for the team doing so well. He talks about fans caring about individuals and star power instead of the team but cuts himself off when Spud comes back with the coffee. This guy continues to be gold.
World Cup of Wrestling: Team Young vs. Team Carter
Eric Young, Bully Ray, Gunner, Eddie Edwards, ODB
Ethan Carter III, Magnus, BroMans, Gail Kim
Gail gets the tag and shoves Ray before hurting her hand trying chops. She sticks out her chest to let Ray chop her but Ray reaches out both hands in a funny bit. Ray goes racial with the Karate Kid crane pose before picking Gail up. He tags in ODB to spank Gail a few times before running her over with a chest bump. A front facelock allows ODB to spank a few more times but Gail comes right back with some of her own.
A VERY quick presentation ends the show.
