Joe Hendry was the first actual elimination, thrown out by fellow TNA talent Kazarian. Despite Hendry's quick exit, Kazarian had an impressive performance, eliminating Damon Kemp and Myles Borne of No Quarter Catch Crew, and making it to the final four. The final four consisted of Je'Von Evans, Frankie Kazarian, Shawn Spears, and Dragon Lee.
With a powerful Irish Whip, Evans ejected Kazarian over the top rope while Spears lay in wait after going under the bottom rope.
