Two weeks removed from a chaotic Tornado Tag Team Match pitting Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado against Buddy Murphy and Tony Nese, The King of the Ropes battled The Premier Athlete in singles competition. Last week, Buddy Murphy scored a major victory against Kalisto, and Gran Metalik looked get retribution for his Lucha brother’s defeat.
After The Lucha House Party and Tony Nese were ejected from ringside during last week’s match, this battle would simply be Metalik and Nese with no distractions.
Nese briefly took control by dropping Metalik onto the apron, but The King of the Ropes battled back, only to be overpowered and thrown into the fan barricade, finally giving Nese the advantage he needed.
Nese displayed his impressive power, taking plenty of time to show off his physique for the WWE Universe. However, the familiarity between the two Superstars was clear, and as Nese caught his opponent in a moonsault, Metalik capitalized with a counter of his own, taking Nese down.
In control of the bout, Metalik nearly secured victory, but The Premier Athlete soon stopped his rival’s advance with a perfectly timed heel kick as Metalik bounced off the ropes for an attack. Metalik started to use his high-flying ability for both positive and negative gains. Nese reciprocated with high-flying attacks of his own, nearly securing victory following a jaw-dropping 450 splash.
Angry, Nese threw Metalik into the ring post and prepared to execute his running knee strike. Unfortunately for The Premier Athlete, Metalik countered with a superkick and a near-fall, bringing the WWE Universe to the edge of their seats. Attempting a superplex, Nese was dropped onto the ropes and taken down by a hurricanrana, allowing Metalik to walk the ropes and plant a powerful elbow for the win.
