– Sami Callihan, who went by the name Solomon Crowe in NXT, won the 2CW Championship at an event on Sunday night. 2CW Champion Sean Carr issued an open challenge after defeating Joe Gacy in a match. This led to the lights suddenly going out, then came back on, and Callihan was in the ring. Callahan hit a superkick then locked in a submission to win the title.
