Pre-match comments from Brian Johnson and PJ Black

Pure Rules Match: Brian Johnson vs. PJ Black
(15-minute time limit)

Black was one step ahead of his protege for the majority of the match. The veteran applied a hammerlock, forcing Johnson to use the first of his three allotted rope breaks. Black nailed Johnson with an elbow off the top rope and then did it again from the opposite corner for a near fall. Black hit a crossbody off the top rope for another near fall. Johnson momentarily halted Black’s momentum after he moved out of the way of a springboard moonsault, but Black quickly regained the advantage.

Black put Johnson in a pendulum and forced Johnson to use his second rope break. A double clothesline put both men down. After they exchanged hard chops to the chest and forearms to the face, Black connected on a springboard moonsault, and Johnson used his third and final rope break. Johnson shoved Black into the referee. While the referee had his back turned, Johnson poked Black in the eyes. Johnson punched Black in the face and then hit The Process for the win in 10:58.

After the match, Black told Johnson that he cheated to win, but he taught Johnson some of those tactics and he applied them. Black said Johnson will do great things in the Pure division, but he’ll be there if Johnson ever needs him. Black extended his hand and Johnson shook it.
