He was an absolute killer in the match throwing Cole, O’Reilly, Dunne, and Gargano all around the apron, the barricade, the ring, all of it. Even when the champion was knocked out, the other four men put on a great show, one worthy of a TakeOver main event spot which also featured some surprising short term alliances. They had to gang up to take Kross out of action so they could fight each other which made for some awesome comebacks from Kross.
The match climaxed with O’Reilly locking the heel hook on Cole, who came really close to tapping. He held on just long enough for Kross to put the Kross Jacket on O’Reilly and make him pass out.
