Velveteen Dream came down to the ring sporting tights with Aleister Black’s face on one leg and his own face on the other. Black controlled the match early and launched Dream out of the ring. Black took a seat in the ring to mock Dream. Velveteen started swaying his hips and danced right in front of Black. Aleister wouldn’t look at Dream and Velveteen decided to sit directly in front of Dream. Aleister then slithered towards Dream and Velveteen had a shocked look on his face.

Dream went for a roll-up and then connected with Arm Drag. Dream responded with a Clothesline that knocked Black to the mat. Dream connected with a flurry of punches that knocked Black out of the ring. Back in the ring, Dream connected with a Superkick for a two count. Velveteen hit the Rude Awakening for a two count. Black connected with a knee and then slung Dream into the corner.

Dream hit a Death Valley Driver for a two count. Aleister connected with a big time knee strike for a two count. Black remained on the attack and charged at Dream but Velveteen connected with a beautiful modified DDT for a two count. Dream connected with a Superkick and Black bounced off the ropes and connected with a knee. Aleister then hit the Black Mass for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Aleister Black grabbed a microphone and sat next to Velveteen Dream. Black said “enjoy infamy, Velveteen Dream” and walked away.
