Backstage, CM Punk ran into Adam Pearce and Drew McIntyre. Following Punk and McIntyre’s exchange, Punk reunited with his former tag partner, Kofi Kingston. He then had interactions with Chad Gable and Ricochet. Punk told Gable that he’s heard a lot about him and added that he’s heard Ricochet is bad at video games.
In the main event, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cody Rhodes’ singles match resulted in a disqualification after Nakamura misted Rhodes. He was going to follow up by beating Rhodes down with a chair, but Julius and Brutus Creed made the save. As Rhodes was being held up by referees, Nakamura ran back down and kneed him in the chest.
