Brawling Brutes were initially in control with Sheamus going hard against Prince in the beginning of the bout. Then Holland came inside the ring but only to spend a brief period before Sheamus returned. Eventually, Pretty Deadly found momentum with Prince getting the better of Sheamus and Kit receiving a kick on the face. After Holland came in again, Ridge welcomed him with some powerful moves. Holland then tried to attack Deadly, who managed to dodge the attempt. Ridge later collapsed to the ground and Prince took the advantage, winning the fight for Pretty Deadly.

Zelina Vega vs Bayley:

Bayley pulled off a strong start and immediately threw Vega out of the ring. Vega then tried to make a comeback with a Meteora before Beyley snatched her slippers. Vega managed to get them back before Bayley attacked her with the Rose Plant to secure the victory.

Fatal-Four-Way match: AJ Styles vs Santos Escobar vs Grayson Waller vs Butch:

Waller stepped out of the ring to mock Austin Theory when Butch launched a dive from the barricades to take him out. AJ and Escobar were engaged in an in-ring battle before they took down Santos. Waller went on to try a double pin but ended up getting a heavy kick from Santos. After that, Styles was taken down with a Pele kick and Butch beat Waller with a moonsault. Waller then tried to execute a rolling cutter on Butch when Santon made a sudden appearance with a splash on Waller to win the fight.

Women’s title match: Bianca Belair vs Asuka:

Belair was in the driver’s seat early on, welcoming Asuka with some big moves. Asuka then tried to lock in her opponent but Belair returned with the KOD and sent Asuka on the announce desk.
