Kenny Williams & Amir Jordan vs Pretty Deadly(c)

This is Pretty Deadly’s first defense of the titles. After the big championship introductions, the match begins with Jordan and Howley. Both men have a stand-off at first, and Stoker tags in. Stoker ties up with Jordan, and Stoker goes to work on Jordan. Amir hits a few surprise drop kicks, and Stoker goes to the outside. Stoker tags in Howley, and Jordan tags in Williams, and both men go into the corner. Howley takes Williams down to the mat with an arm hold, and wrenches the wrist back at the same time. Williams eventually works his way into a hold of his own, and attacks the legs of Howley. Howley beautifully rolls out of it, and hit the ropes, before landing a shoulder tackle on the rebound. Howley hits a hip toss, and tags in Stoker, who tries a cover. Williams kicks out, and locks on an arm hold. Williams tags in Jordan, who also works over the arm. Williams tags right back in, and continues to work on the arm of Stoker. Jordan immediately comes back in, but Stoker works him over into the champions corner. Howley tags in, but Williams and Jordan drop kick both champions to the outside. Howley comes back into the ring, and ties up with Jordan. Jordan hits a crossbody after running the ropes, and but Stoker made a blind tag. Howley runs to the outside of the ring, but lures in Jordan for a strike from Stoker. The champions begin to take control of things, and repeatedly tag in and out. The champions hit a double-team move on Jordan, and Stoker makes a cover, but Jordan kicks out. Stoker applies a submission hold, and Amir reverses with a neck breaker. Howley blind tags in, and the champions are crafty. The champs continue to double-team, and isolate Amir, now fully in control of the match. Amir goes to the outside, and tries to make a sneaky attempt at a tag, finally doing so. Kenny comes in on fire, and goes to work on both champions. Williams hits a bulldog on Stoker, and send Howley to the outside. Williams goes to the top rope, and jumps off with a cross-body, but Stoker catches him. Williams reverses a slam attempt into a hurricanrana on Stoker for the cover, and Howley breaks it up just in time. Howley tosses Jordan to the apron, but misses an attempt, and falls to the floor. The challengers have a brief advantage, but Howley stops it, and the champions hit double team moves on both guys. Jordan recovers first, and both challengers hit moves on Howley. Williams hits a DDT and Howley, and makes a cover for the 1-2-NO! Everyone goes down briefly, and the champions are hurting. Stoker and Jordan become the legal men, and the referee goes down, followed by everyone else. How chaotic! Williams grabs the titles, and hands one to Amir. They argue about possibly cheating, and Williams listens. Jordan goes for a move on Howley, but Williams grabs the title anyway, and nails Jordan with it! Williams leaves, and the champions hit Spilled Milk for the 1-2-3.
