The show began with Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) defeating Private Party & Rush after Yuta tapped out Marq Quen with a Bicep Slicer.

A promo package aired highlighting Dark Order and Death Triangle prior to their main event Trios Championship Match.

Tony Nese & Josh Woods defeated Varsity Blonds in under two minutes. After the match, Smart Mark Sterling got on the mic saying that he trademarked the term “varsity” in professional wrestling. He declared Nese & Woods “The Varsity Athletes” and said that Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr. could no longer use the term varsity or he would sue. The Acclaimed interrupted and ran off Nese, Woods, and Sterling.

A backstage promo aired featuring Eddie Kingston talking about how he lost control at Grand Slam and how he was “sorry”. Kingston also mentioned that he only gets 30 seconds while MJF gets 15 minutes.

Anna Jay AS & Tay Melo defeated Madison Rayne & Skye Blue with Anna Jay tapping Skye Blue out with the Queen Slayer.

Death Triangle defeated Dark Order to retain the Trios Championships after Jose the Assistant came out and distracted Preston Vance with a contract. This allowed Rush to grab the hammer for the ring bell and hand it to Pac who took it and clobbered Alex Reynolds. Pac put Reynolds in the Brutalizer and the ref immediately called for the bell.
