Before things get going, Gulak on the mic. “Where my ghouls at?!” Gulak says he’s going to put an end to Tozawa’s chants and wants to make Halloween even better through his Power Point presentation! First slide (of 47), “No Candy,” he’s wants kids teeth to be stronger. Moving to slide number two, “No Trick or Treating,” because it’s like chanting and there’s nothing worse than chanting. As he goes to number three, out comes Akira Tozawa.
Tozawa with a big kick to start things off and we’re right in to some mat wrestling. Tozawa with a kick to a grounded Gulak, standing senton, followed up by a number of stomps in the corner. Gulak bails to the outside, Tozawa goes for a dive, but Gulak moves away from his opponent, taking some time to recover.
Back in the ring, Gulak is able to gain control of the match, doing work in the corners with elbows, running splash, pin, two-count. Tozawa finally uses his speed to get away from Gulak, nice suplex by Tozawa as he heads up to the top. Gulak bails to the outside again, this time Tozawa nails him with a suicide dive, tosses him back into the ring, pin, two. Tozawa continues the momentum, drop Gulak near the corner, heads up top again, this time he hits the senton splash and seals the win!
We get highlights of last week’s segment with Kendrick and Gallagher trying to get Alexander to drop the “dead weight, dancing clown” Rich Swann. Backstage, Alexander talks with Swann saying he can’t believe Kendrick and Gallagher thought he would just turn on Swann, because they said to. Alexander then gives Swann a clown nose and says if they want a “clown,” let’s give it to them.
Next we get a pretty strange promo from Mustafa Ali, who talks about getting Halloween candy from bad neighbourhoods.
