With a spot in the semifinals on the line, Ali squared off against Elias in the King of the Ring Quarterfinals.
Both Superstars came out of the gates with their best stuff, as Ali used his blinding speed and took to the skies. Elias attempted to counter by overpowering Ali, absolutely decimating his opponent on the outside. Ali targeted Elias’ arm, even locking in a crossface, but the crooning Superstar withstood an unbelievable superkick counter from Ali and avoided a 450 Splash before immediately connecting with Drift Away to punch his ticket to the semifinals.
