Omega then takes a chop that sends Sabre Jr. to a knee and Omega has an opening as he grabs Sabre Jr. by the head and slams him into the nearest announce desk. The referee is admonishing him, but Omega pays little mind as he stomps away at Sabre Jr. some more before taking a lid off the announce desk and slams it onto Sabre Jr., allowing him to get to the apron for a double foot stomp, driving the tabletop onto Sabre Jr. Omega then places Sabre Jr. onto the table now, but Sabre Jr. fights back only for Omega to hit some hard strikes to wear him down.
Sabre Jr. then stops Omega from going for a suplex, tying him up in an octopus hold on the table. Both men then fall off and Omega takes the brunt of the damage. Sabre Jr. is enjoying this as he gets back to his feet and to the ring, intercepting a returning Omega to stomp at his hand and arm. Sabre Jr. then gets a “you’re a d**khead” chant from the crowd, something he enjoys as he goes back to work on Omega’s arm. Sabre Jr. then hits a boot to the hand before the referee forces him to back off and he does just for a bit before hitting an uppercut. Omega then fights back with a strike, but is sent back to the corner where Sabre Jr. hits a boot only for Omega to follow him across the ring for one of his own. Omega then turns things around with some more strikes, forcing Sabre Jr. to leave the ring to the outside where Omega drops him to the floor with a dive over the ropes.
Omega then brings Sabre Jr. back into the ring, favoring his arm as he goes to the turnbuckle for a dropkick. Omega then goes for a cover, but he only gets a two. Omega then continues the attack before Sabre Jr. heads to the corner, where he catches the arm of Omega before attacking it some more. Omega then breaks free and both men trade some more strikes. Sabre Jr. then gets caught with a knee strike by Omega, who takes a hard forearm by Sabre Jr. in response but still manages to send him to the mat with a snap dragon suplex. Sabre Jr. is barely able to get to his feet before Omega hits another one for good measure, following up with some knees to the ribs. He then takes Sabre Jr. to his back for a cover and a near fall before bringing Sabre Jr. back to his feet where Sabre Jr. rolls him up for a near fall of his own, only for Omega to roll through.
Cross arm breaker then doesn’t get cinched in as Sabre Jr. manages to break free. Omega then gets back to his feet, turning Sabre Jr. around for a snap dragon but Sabre Jr. spins through for an armbar instead. Omega then struggles before rolling through, getting to the ropes to force a break. Sabre Jr. then goes right back on the arm as he stomps away at it. Omega then slowly gets back to his feet to hit some chops on Sabre Jr., who responds with a kick to the arm. He then goes for it again, but this time Omega blocks it to send Sabre Jr. to the mat. Omega then looks to go for something, but drops Sabre Jr. due to his arm. Sabre Jr. then starts to get an opening but gets sent to the corner instead, where Omega hits a V-Trigger that drives Sabre Jr. face first into the turnbuckle. Omega then brings Sabre Jr. onto his shoulders before climbing the turnbuckle for what appears to be an avalanche One-Winged Angel, but Sabre Jr. gets a hold in on Omega to stop it.
This then turns out badly for him as Omega drops to the mat, driving his opponent down in the process. Omega then gets to his feet, hitting a series of knee strikes on Sabre Jr. as the crowd roars in approval. Omega then backs off for a running knee, but Sabre Jr. blocks it twisting Omega around for an ankle lock. Omega then breaks free, setting Sabre Jr. up for a reverse rana that drops Sabre Jr. down hard. Omega then goes for a cover, but Sabre Jr. kicks out. Sabre Jr. then gets to the ropes and Omega goes for a V-Trigger, but Sabre Jr. dodges it and he rolls Omega up with a neck bridge for a near fall of his own. Omega then keeps up the pressure, forcing Sabre Jr. to the ropes for a V-Trigger that connects this time. He then goes for a One-Winged Angel, but Sabre Jr. breaks free and rolls him up tight for another two count.
He then hits Omega with a Zack Driver, but this also gets a near fall as Omega manages to kick out. Both men then fight to their feet, trading strikes along the way until Omega hits Sabre Jr. with a snap dragon followed by a knee strike. He then hoists Sabre Jr. up for a One-Winged Angel, but Sabre Jr. turns it around to go for a triangle hold. Omega then looks like he’s fading, only to find his way back to his feet for a single arm powerbomb that drops Sabre Jr. down hard. He then hits one more knee strike and a One-Winged Angel for the win.
The winner of the Singles Match, The Elite’s “The Best Bout Machine” Kenny Omega!
