–Evan Money d. Jordan McEntyre via frog splash to advance in the St. Louis Invitational Tournament.

–Sean Vincent d. Adam Rich with a mulekick and rollup(with a handful of tights) to advance in the tournament.

–Steven Kennedy d. Kurt Styles by DQ to advance in the tournament; the referee took a chair away from SSK and he got out some powder…but when the referee turned back to the action, Kennedy had thrown the powder in his OWN face, making the referee think that Styles had done the deed and leading to the disqualification.

–Mickie Knuckles d. Mia Martinez with a belly-to-belly suplex off the top rope.

–Tony Kozina d. Bailey Mannix(w/ Leon Alexander) by DQ when Mannix hit Kozina with a chain. Mannix continued the assault after the match and even hung Kozina over the ropes with the chain!

–BIlly McNeil d. Chris Logan with a corkscrew splash off the top rope to advance in the tournament.

-Sean Vincent won a four-way dance to become the IHW Invitational Tournament champion. Money eliminated Kennedy with a running shooting star press, then Vincent pinned Money after the Death Valley Driver. McNeil nearly scored the win, but Vincent cut him off on the ropes and finished him with a hanging DDT to capture the trophy.

-Heavyweight Champion Brandon Aarons fought Illinois Champion Eric Allen to a draw in a last-man-standing mach. Allen attempted to superplex Aarons onto several chairs in the ring, but Aarons fought out of the predicament and sunset-bombed Allen onto the chairs. However, neither man could get up before the ten-count and the match was ruled a draw. Bailey Mannix rushed the ring and attacked Aarons, giving him a brainbuster onto the chairs…he kept up the beating until the locker room emptied to restore order, forcing Mannix and Allen to retreat…
