Episode 4
2014 TOP PROSPECT TOURNAMENT
Hanson def Andrew Everett to advance
Mike Bennett def Cedric Alexander via anaconda vice with the help of Maria
AJ Styles def Roderick Strong
Match was said to be good but had a few rough points
AJ slipped off the top and seemed to have hurt his knee. Then Roddys head got trapped on the styles clash and looked bad. Scary moment. Roderick Strong walked out under his own power. It was reported by the Wrestling Observer that Roderick was helped to the back but several people live in attendance told us Roderick went to the back on his own. Either way, best wishes to Roderick Strong.
