The OceanFirst Bank Center is sold out and alive as the New Jersey crowd is roaring for tonight's action. Each of the competitors all have fans holding signs for them. The camera’s pan through the crowd till they reach the ringside area where we see our three loveable hosts and Chris.
Jackson: Hello everyone and welcome to day two of the Great American Grand Prix! Every match on this show is sure to be full of excitement as everyone is either hoping to catch up or hold onto to their leads. We have plenty of interesting match ups as well. This New Jersey crowd is in for a treat!
Judd: Of course they are and so is everyone at home watching on the Evolve network. This is also starting to turn into SAP versus the outsiders competing in this tournament. None of the home talents want to give up a win to those visiting.
Chris: Anyone notice that smell when you drive into Jersey?
Jackson just shakes his head and turns to Aiden who is sitting in his recliner shirtless for a reason no one can seem to explain while wearing sunglasses.
Jackson: Anything to add Aiden?
Aiden drops his glasses a bit so you can see his eyes.
Aiden: Send nudes.
Jackson just shakes his head again.
Jackson: Looks like I should have just skipped over that. Let's just get to the ring and start tonight's show.
_________________________________________
Rachel Redding vs. Tommy Evans
Rachel went into this match with a little more of a sense of urgency and may have rushed a little to much. She had trouble finding a groove as Tommy used his strategy to his benefit. Redding went for “Category 1” slightly early into the match and Evans saw it coming and evaded it. From there he hit her with the “Warning Shot” (superkick) followed up by “Suicide” (corkscrew 630 senton) to get him the victory.
Winner: Tommy Evans

Bloody Mary vs. Nora Harris
Nora tried to use her quickness early but that didn't stop Mary from grabbing her by the hair and pulling her back to the mat. Ole’ Scary Mary as Judd affectionately called her was cold and calculating in this match using her strength advantage to hit some nasty power moves on the very bendable Harris. Nora made a push towards the end but Mary cut it off with the “Wasteland of the Soul” (double underhook piledriver) and got the win.
Winner: Bloody Mary
_________________________________________
Izzy Anders vs. Felix Vialpando
The two big winners of Group B from night one squared off. Felix had some words for Izzy early on which only resulted in him getting kicked in the face. From there Felix had to play catch up against the always one step ahead Izzy. Felix thought he had Anders at the end when he went for the “Grito de Falcon” (contra code) but Izzy tossed him off. When he turned around it was right into her “Capetown Sunset” (540 kick). Felix went down and Izzy got the pinfall.
Winner: Izzy Anders

Xavier Laroux vs. Adalynn Duncan
Xavier was still frustrated from the night before and it was visible. He managed to channel that however into motivation as Duncan was hoping to keep the ball rolling. Adalynn fought hard and at one point looked like she might take it. She whipped Xavier into the ropes for “No Doubt” (roaring elbow) but he ducked it then caught her with “Bedlam” (superkick between the eyes). From there Xavier had it and soon finished her with “The Addiction” (running knee to between the eyes of a seated opponent).
Winner: Xavier Laroux
_________________________________________
Annie Zellor vs. Ashley Maldano
Both women came out with a lot to prove in this match. Ashley struck first and struck hard managing to pin Annie in the corner for a while. However as the match went on Zellor was able to use her veteran instincts to her advantage. She caught Ashley in a few spots and turned the momentum her way. Ashley went back to her brawling background but in the end it didn't help her as Annie was able to hit “Rough 'n' Tumble II” (Springboard Codebreaker [from apron, bouncing off middle rope]) and get the win.
Winner: Annie Zellor

Vince Steel vs. Masaru Inoue
Before the bell even rang these two were going back and forth with insults. The bell rang and Steel came right out at full speed similar to Xavier’s approach the night before. However just like last night Inoue enjoyed it. But the beating Masaru took last night was starting to have an effect on him tonight as Steel was just piling on the offense. Inoue stayed strong though, even laughing at Vince at times. Inoue slowly started to come back. Picking his shots clearly and carefully. The right shot came when he nailed a headbutt right between the eyes of Steel affecting his precious injury. Steel’s eyes watered up leaving him unable to see as Masaru dropped him to a knee with some leg kicks followed up with “Kill Shot” (shin kick to the neck). Steel went down and Inoue got the win.
Winner: Masaru Inoue

Jackson: Day two is in the books and some serious theme’s are starting to develop here. Masaru Inoue has defeated the two people from Block A that most people assumed would be one of the winners! This makes each remaining match for all of them as important as can possibly be if they want to keep their hopes alive.
Judd: Izzy Anders is still in control of Block B but Annie is catching up close. It is going to be interesting to see where we are with the standings as we will have reached the halfway point of the week.
Chris: We’re still not half way yet?
Jackson: Thank you to everyone here in attendance and at home. We will see you tomorrow as the Great American Grand Prix continues!
