Lockup to start. Balkin gets back up in the ropes so the ref breaks the hold only for Balkin to get a side headlock in. Brandt hits some rights to the kidney, then they trade chops till Balkin tries to roll up Brandt. Brandt reverses, tries to pin and gets a 1 count. Brandt with a European uppercut. She sends Balkin to the corner then hits a high knee. Brandt spreads the legs and stomps the mid section. She goes for a leg drop, and hits it! Balkin slides out, so Brandt tries for a baseball slide, but Balkin pulls the apron up and Brandt gets stuck between it and the ring. Balkin points at his brain, making out like he’s so smart. Balkin hits Alexia’s back with a barrage of fists then drops the leg. He sends Brandt into the ring then hits a neckbreaker and a pin for 1…2..NO!
Balkin with a scissor lock and a cravat combo submission. Balkin turns it into a front faced lock but Brandt with a punch to the kidney and sends Balkin to the corner. She goes for another toss, but Balkin reverses, sends Brandt to the corner, then runs for a kick only for Brandt to move and Balkin runs crotch first into the corner. Brandt hits a Snap DDT then hits a nice looking handspring moonsault. Pin for 1…2..NO!
Balkin out and back on the offensive. Running butt bump takes Alexia down and as she’s getting back up it looks like Harry’s going for the Groin Claw… but then realises what he’s doing and changes tact. But that momentary lapse is enough for Brandt to connect with Flashback (handspring enziguri). Balkin pops back up, but is clearly dazed. Brandt gets a bridging German suplex, but her arch isn’t as good as it should be… both sets of shoulders are down for the three!
This match is ruled a draw!
Well that was a short but action packed match. Brandt had it won, but her poor form on that bridge cost her there. Can’t say I’m surprised, Playboy is much bigger than she is, just getting him up and over is a feat in itself. I’m sure these two will want to do this again sometime down the line.
