Gold Rush Tournament Semi-Finals: Jinder Mahal vs. Richie Steamboat

Leo Kruger says something in another language and takes out his tooth. He says something has been bothering him and brewing inside of him. He sounds like a psycho here.

Heath Slater vs. Scotty 2 Hotty

Usos vs. Ascension

Jimmy gets beaten down post match with Total Elimination.

Hunico and Camacho say they were sick when they lost to Dalton and Jordan. Oh and Camacho lost his burro.

Gold Rush Tournament Semi-Finals: Michael McGillicutty vs. Seth Rollins

We take a break and come back with Rollins hitting a dropkick for two. A splash misses McGillicutty in the corner so he hits a Saito Suplex for two on Rollins. McGillicutty hits a snap belly to back suplex for two. The McGillicutter is countered but he clubs Rollins down with a single shot. McGillicutty loads up a superplex but Rollins counters with an attempted sunset bomb out of the corner, only to get punched in the face. Rollins gets up and hits a buckle bomb followed by the Blackout (called the Stomp here for some reason) for the pin at 7:46 shown of 10:16.

Results

Jinder Mahal b. Richie Steamboat – Camel Clutch

Scotty 2 Hotty b. Heath Slater – Worm

Seth Rollins b. Michael McGillicutty – Blackout

Gold Rush Tournament First Round: Richie Steamboat vs. Leo Kruger

Richie tries some very fast rollups for two each. Kruger chops him in the chest and the chase is on outside. Back in and Leo tries a sleeper but Richie escapes before it goes on. The camera is using some non-traditional angles here for some reason. Kruger gets knocked to the floor and tries to frustrate Richie. That makes sense as his dad always had a temper to him. Back in and Richie hits a chop in the corner and Kruger may have a bad knee.

Here are the official brackets for the tournament:

Rollins

McIntyre

Gabriel

McGillicutty

Steamboat

Dallas

Mahal

Big E. Langston vs. Adam Mercer

Audrey Marie vs. Raquel Diaz

Raquel puts an L on the forehead of Marie with lipstick. The L is for loser I guess.

Kassius Onoo says that he brings danger to the table because he can fly, he can use holds and he can hit you. He closes it out with this: “My name is Kassius. I hurt people.” I like that.

Drew McIntyre, who faces Seth Rollins tonight, says tonight the talking about Rollins ends.

Bateman grabs a DDT and then a running flip neckbreaker for a close two. Jinder avoids the falling bulldog and hits a knee to the back and the camel clutch gets the submission at 4:02.
