The Brian Kendrick and Mike Kanellis finally settle their rivalry inside the squared circle in a hard-hitting singles bout.

The tension between The Brian Kendrick and Mike Kanellis has been brewing since Kanellis brazenly attacked The Man with a Plan four weeks ago. The animosity only intensified when Kanellis was soon at odds with Kendrick’s ally, Akira Tozawa.

As soon as the opening bell rang, Kendrick charged forward and attacked The Opportunist. Barely escaping an early Captain’s Hook, Kanellis retreated to the outside to regain his composure, but Kendrick remained relentless. As The Man with a Plan continued to attack, Kanellis executed a brutal suplex into the barricade.

Kanellis executed a vicious spinebuster, but Kendrick turned the tide by executing a second Captain’s Hook before suplexing his opponent off the steel steps to the arena floor.

Kendrick locked in a third Captain’s Hook and stopped Kanellis’ counter attempts three times before The Opportunist overpowered him and slammed him to the mat. Both Superstars exchanged blows and superkicks in the center of the ring before Kanellis leveled Kendrick with a clothesline.

With both Superstars reeling, Kendrick hit Sliced Bread No. 2, but Kanellis rolled away, giving him enough time to kick out of the pinfall. Kanellis immediately recovered and landed two superkicks, a falcon arrow and a reverse swinging neckbreaker in perfect sequence to secure an impressive win.
