Knight rallies by shoving Kaiser into the corner, clotheslining him out of the ring, and slamming his face into the announce table. Returning to the ring, Knight executes a neckbreaker and an elbow drop from the second rope for a near-fall, then follows up with corner stomps and a running knee.
Kaiser fights back with a kick to the face to break Knight’s momentum, though Knight quickly responds with a bodyslam.
