1. Simon Gotch defeats Michael Modest after locking on the Gentleman's Clutch. These two had a very old school style opener here, with not much in the way of spots but was more about working over body parts to wear each other down. Gotch's charisma carried this match, and he ended it in impressive fashion, earning the submission.
2. Jason Jordan & Chad Gable defeat Joey Ryan & Chuck Taylor after hitting the Grand Amplitude. Ryan and Taylor are both veterans and did a great job getting overJordan & Gable, who put on a great display of pure wrestling skill. Ryan and Taylor were simply out gunned on this night, and it ended with Taylor taking the Grand Amplitude like a champ, losing by pinfall to a bridging Gable.
3. Emma & Dana Brooke defeat Liv Morgan & Peyton Royce after Emma locked Liv Morgan into the Emma Lock. Emma and Brooke were vicious in this match, berating their opponents as they used harsh tactics to try to wear them down. Morgan and Royce had a lot of fight and showed skill, but it wasn't enough. Emma would plant Morgan with a hair pull into a stomp and then lock on her Emma Lock, getting a tap out nearly immediately from Morgan.
4. Finn Balor defeats Jay Lethal & Matt Sydal after delivering the Coup de Grace to Sydal. This was an exciting rollercoaster of a match, that saw many near falls and big dives, making for a nice change of pace after three fairly grounded affairs to start off the show. The match came off well, and Balor would manage to negotiate circumstances to his liking, finding an opening to send Sydal flying into the corner with a Front Dropkick, and then smash him with the Coup de Grace to get the pinfall before Lethal could break up the cover.
5. The Usos: Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso defeat Blake & Murphy w/ Alexa after Jey comes off the top with a Samoan Splash to Blake. Blake & Murphy were fired up for this match and laid a lot of punishment on the Usos, showing great ring psychology as they did to keep the fans engaged while the Usos played to the fans with chants and motions to keep them baby face. The Usos would overcome some big offense from Blake & Murphy to end up delivering a Double Superkick to Blake, followed by the Splash from Jey to get the pinfall.
6. Sami Zayn & Cesaro defeats Seth Rollins & Ricochet after Zayn pinned Ricochet with the Helluva Kick. This was intense, as Cesaro would come to fight alongside a partner he'd done battle with most of his career, while Rollins and Ricochet did everything they could to get the win here. Rollins and Ricochet were brash and ruthless, trying to pull out every dirty trick to get the big win here. Rollins thought he might have the win with a Frog Splash, but Cesaro would grab him off and send him flying with the Big Swing to the fan's delight! Ricochet would try to hit some big moves, taking Cesaro down with a Backflip Kick to Cesaro to knock him out of the ring, followed by an attempted Double Handpsring Elbow to Zayn in the corner, only to have it countered with a Half and Half Suplex into the buckles! Ricochet would pull himself up, only to eat the Helluva Kick and get pinned as Cesaro caught Rollins coming with a Diving European Uppercut, leading to a pinfall win for Zayn over Ricochet.
