Cell 7:
Doctor Payne vs. Avarice - Winner gets Nurse Elizabeth the rest of the Tournament!During the tournament, Avarice was seen backstage wooing Elizabeth trying to give her a rose, in return she slapped him hard across the face. Avarice just smiled and said he liked ‘em rough and started to get a little forceful with Elizabeth. Dr. Payne came in and started fighting with Avarice backstage, which led to this stipulation in this match of winner gets Elizabeth for the tournament!
Dr. Payne started out early on the offense, clearly angered by Avarice. But Avarice used his speed and agility to keep Dr. Payne down for the majority of the match up. Dr. Payne and Avarice did exchange some quick offensive towards the end, but Avarice hit two Power of Greed’s on Dr. Payne and gets the pin. Now Elizabeth will have to be in Avarice’s corner the rest of the tournament! Team aCe = 3 pts., 10 pts. for Sweet Sixteen!

Cell 8:
U.S. Male vs. Assassin Xquick match as Male started things off but it didn’t take long for A.X. to bring the fight to the outside! A.X. wins the battles outside the ring and then nailed Male with an AX Bomber and then CONTRACT KILLING to win the match and advance! Team Z = 4 pts. 10 pts. for Sweet Sixteen!
Retribution vs. RushWhat a tremendous match up! Both would not die in the match after getting multiple pinfall attempts. First Rush hit some high aerial assaults, really doing some damage early to Retribution. Then Retribution bounced back with some hard hitting power moves and dominated the majority of the match! Retribution gets his MYTH BUSTER AND GROUNDING THE DEMON back to back, but it wasn’t enough to keep Rush down! Rush battled back and hits WHAT A RUSH! But Retribution kicked out of it somehow! Rush then hit a spike DDT and Retribution kicked out of that! Rush finally put Retribution down with a decapitating plancha to advance! Team GWF = 3 pts., 10 pts., for Sweet Sixteen!
Team Points after second half of Round 2!Team GWF = 106 points
Team "Z" = 92 points
Team POW = 77 points
Team aCe = 67 points
So far, here's the break down of who's alive and what teams have representatives in the Sweet Sixteen!
Team GWF has 5 team members alive in the tournament with Anivar, American Guy, Rage, Tricks & Rush!
Team "Z" also has 5 team members alive and they are Morbid, Overtime, Leviathan, Pride & Assassin X!
POW & aCe have 3 team members in action still! For the POW they have T.K., Excalibur & Dante and for the aCe they have Mr. Bloat, Nes Kincade & Avarice still alive!
Very close competition throughout the tournament and it's still anybody's to win! Now, there will be more bonus points for the winners that make it to the Excellent Eight bracket, and that can help out the POW and aCe catch back up in the points if they can manage to move their members into the Excellent Eight!
And it's very possible that they can, as the 3 members of each team are very accomplished wrestlers and should not be overlooked.
The odds are in favor of the GWF & the "Z" as they have the numbers game, but also, team members will be squaring off against each other in the brackets, so either way, they will have someone advancing to the Eight and getting points for their respective teams!
Who's gonna come out on top in this colossus battle? Stay tuned fans, the Sweet Sixteen is coming!!
