Trick and Hayes took an early lead before Dragunov was tagged in and took down Jagger Reid with a series of suplexes. Dragunov received a flying clothesline, and all three members of the Schism were eliminated from the ring. When Hayes saw that Gacy was alone in the ring, he came in and hit Nothin’ but Net to seal the deal.

Javier Bernal vs Von Wagner:

The fight didn’t last long as Bernal made an early mistake by attacking Wagner off the bat. Wagner came back quickly as he pounded on Bernal before launching a one-armed variant of the spine buster to secure the victory.

Kendo Stick Match–Dana Brooke vs Cora Jade:

Jade went hard on Brooke at the initial stage. Brooke got almost defeated but managed a comeback with a big cartwheel elbow. Jade then picked up a steel chair when Kelani Jordan tried to interfere. Brooke then attempted some chair shots and attacked Jade with a pink kendo stick. In the end, Brooke clinched the victory by hitting Jade with a moonsault.

Tony D’Angelo & Stacks vs. Bronco Nima & Lucien Price

Axiom made a sudden appearance and tried to attack SCRYPTS, who was on commentary duty. They entered the ring and spent some time before vanishing backstage. Tony D’Angelo and Stacks then went on to use their combined finisher on one of their opponents to pick up an easy win.

Rhea Ripley vs Lyra Valkyria:

Valkyria pulled off a dominant start with some impressive moves before Rhea pushed her into a corner and continued to attack her. Lyra tried to grab Ripley in a headlock. But Ripley knocked her to the ground and attempted a top rope move. In response, Lyra sent Rhea out of the ring. Ripley finally prevailed with the help of her iconic Riptide.
