As the match got underway, the animosity from the audience intensified. Andrew Finlayson, seemingly unfazed by the hostility, entered the ring with a smug expression. Jacob Braun, on the other hand, embraced the role of the underdog hero, rallying the audience's support.
The match began with Jacob Braun showcasing his technical wrestling skills, attempting to gain an early advantage. His athleticism and grappling prowess were on full display as he executed precise takedowns and submission holds. The crowd roared in support of the fan-favorite, appreciating his technical prowess.
Andrew Finlayson, however, was not to be underestimated. He countered Jacob's maneuvers with power moves and strikes, asserting his dominance in the ring. The audience's dislike for Andrew only grew stronger as he taunted the crowd, further inciting their anger.
Amid the rising tension, a particularly hostile fan threw a bottle of water at Andrew's face, dousing him with liquid. The crowd erupted in a mix of cheers and laughter as the arrogant wrestler struggled to regain his composure.
The match continued, with Jacob Braun using the distraction to his advantage, mounting a spirited comeback. He climbed the turnbuckle and executed a high-risk diving elbow drop, connecting perfectly with Andrew's chest.
As Jacob went for the pin, the referee counted to two, but Andrew managed to kick out at the last moment. The crowd's disappointment in the near-fall turned into frustration with the referee's counting. An argument erupted between Jacob and the referee, as the audience expressed their displeasure with the official's performance.
In the midst of the dispute, the referee inadvertently tripped over Jacob's foot, causing him to fall to the mat. Andrew, seizing the unexpected opportunity, delivered a punch to Jacob's nuts, which went unnoticed by the downed referee. With Jacob writhing in pain, Andrew capitalized, hitting his signiture move "The Ban Hammer" and secured the three-count pinfall.
The arena erupted in anger and disappointment, with the crowd vehemently expressing their dissatisfaction with both Andrew Finlayson's victory and the referee's role in the outcome.
