Abraham Washington and Mark Martlaro opened the show off
- Abraham was kind of subdued at first, until Mark explained the Jack Brisco Classic.  “The Jack.”  (It is a points based tournament.  Most points go to the finals.

Seth Rollins was interoduced first in “the Jack.”  He faced Jinder Mahal.  (Pictured First and Second)
- Ref is Ryan Tran.
- Abraham Washington talks about being suspended.
- The crowd is pretty dead and the seats are mostly empty.
- Seth got the multi-fall 15-minute match.
- Seth hits a good spinning kick after a nip up.  Very athletic.  Then he gets the second pin.
- The only commercials are for Brighthouse Sports and Florida Championship Wrestling, which means there were no paying commecial sponsors.
- Jinder scored a pinfall during the commercial by using the tights.
- FYI: Jinder claims to be the greatest athlete from India.   He must be #1 of a billion people.
- Jinder ties it up with a clean pinfall.  Two minutes remain.
- Jider goes outside the ring.  Seth dives over the top rope onto Jinder (Pictured Third)  Seth lands hard on his feet.
- Both men get up immediately, no selling the move.
- Seth hits a diving clothesline off the top rope.  (Pictured Fourth)  Then hits a superkick to the face.
- Seth Rollins picks up the third pinfall.  Goes to the top rope with 30 seconds left.  Jinder grabs Rollins and hits a superplex.  Rollins kicks out.  Time expires.  Both men jump up quickly, no selling the moves.  Seth (Pictured Fifth) wins the match.
- Rollins now leads the tournament with three points.
