Jon Moxley is not going to be happy (when is he ever?) and I bet no one in ROV is gonna be safe.

KB, thanks for reading and for the comment. Yeah, Mark Briscoe gave some payback to Moxley both for causing his own elimination earlier in the tournament and for being jumped along with Jay by Moxley and Tyler Black at Best of the Best in Combat Vegas Wrestling (CVW.)

I was originally hoping for Moxley to win that match, but the dice favored Icarus so I decided to explain the outcome by having Mark Briscoe appear as a distraction to cause Moxley's loss and thus further the feud in CVW between the Briscoes (my current CVW Tag Team Champions) and the Shield.

The tournament is now down to 48 and will be further reduced to 32 with the next results posted tonight!

- Ricker won via a powerslam

- afterward, Ricker said he is going to defeat Richards in the next round just like he and Cage are also going to defeat the American Wolves and win the ROV Tag Team Championship at Supercard of Vegas "and that isn't an insult, that's just a fact of life."
