Crowd is pretty heavily behind Osborne as ring announcer Jenni Starr gives us the ring introductions, but Wallace takes things right to CJ as soon as the bell sounds. Wallace grabs a side headlock and Osborne shoots him off into the ropes, leapfrogging him and ducking under him before hitting Wallace with a big dropkick and a pair of armdrags into an armbar. Wallace rolls to his knees and eventually fights to his feet, but Osborne brings him right back down to the mat with an arm-wringer. Osborne back to the armbar and the crowd is chanting his name as Wallace shoves him back into the corner and fakes a clean break before he takes a cheap shot on Osborne. More right hands from Wallace and he backs away but Osborne pulls him back into the corner and peppers him with rights before hitting a big hip toss out of the corner. Osborne over to the other corner to grab Wallace, but Wallace catches him and drops him face-first into the middle turnbuckle. Wallace picks Osborne up and sets him up for a vertical suplex, but Osborne floats over into a roll-up off of the ropes for a two-count. Wallace misses a clothesline and hits the ropes, but Osborne catches him coming of with a HUGE spinebuster! Osborne calls for Wallace to get up and sets up for the superkick, but Wallace bails out to the floor to catch his breath.
Great opening to this one, the crowd really getting to Wallace out on the floor and CJ is by the ropes, yelling down to him. Wallace hooks Osborne around the ankle and drags him out of the ring, slamming his head into the guard railing before he rams him into the ring steps. Wallace with a handful of hair and he chucks Osborne back into the ring, measuring him for a huge stomp to the face. Elbow to the back of the head puts Osborne down to his knees and Wallace just rakes away at his face, clawing at Osborne’s nose and mouth before raking his nails down Osborne’s back. Wallace rakes the back again and tells Osborne to get up with Osborne responding with right hands and a dropkick that sends Wallace over the top rope to the floor here in The Regal! Osborne right out after him with right hands and Wallace is trying to get away from him and get another breather as the crowd chants to support Osborne. Wallace turns the tide with a cheap shot and rams Osborne’s head into the barricade before sending him back into the ring. Wallace rakes his bootlaces across Osborne’s eyes and whips him into the ropes, but Osborne reverses and holds on, slipping through Wallace’s legs and knocking him down before picking him up for a BIG FALLAWAY SLAM!! Wallace rolls to the apron and Osborne charges across the ring, hitting a shoulder block to the gut that sends Wallace flying to the floor.
Referee’s count is up to five with both men on the floor and Osborne sends Wallace back into the ring before heading up to the top rope. Osborne off the top rope with a BIG ELBOW for a two count only. Somehow Wallace powers up to his feet and takes Osborne down with a big slam. Wallace climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, but Osborne splits his legs and crotches him on the top rope!

Wallace whips Osborne into the ropes but Osborne reverses and hits an arm drag.

Wallace barely escaped that time! Crowd is really buying into these near falls and the place is pretty electric, rallying behind Osborne. Wallace holds onto Osborne’s boot and begs off with Osborne responding with right hands. They both hit the ropes and Wallace TURNS OSBORNE INSIDE OUT WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE!!
