Young Bucks vs. War Machine
War Machine beats the brakes of of Young Bucks to kick it off, and Nick Jackson gets press slammed over the top rope onto Matt. When they follow the Bucks outside, they eat Superkicks #1 and #2. This doesn't bother War Machine, as they toss the Bucks into each other.
Superkicks #3 and #4 to Rowe and Hansen outside set up a swanton off of the apron, as the crowd goes nuts. Hansen is alone inside and gets double teamed by the Bucks, as they land a splash/Moonsault combo. Hansen gets up, and doesn't seem hurt in the least. He clotheslines both of the Jacksons to the mat, only to get Superkicks #5 and #6. Nick Jackson appears to injure his ankle, and we go to commercial.
We come back and see Matt Jackson wrestling by himself, and AJ Styles comes out to check on his Bullet Club brother Nick. Matt is really getting dominated in the ring, being tossed all over the place. Matt fights back, and AJ Styles joins the match somehow. He gets a hot tag and runs through Rowe.
Styles accidentally bumps the ref, which allows Matt to hit Superkicks #7 and #8. Nick comes in and hits #9 and #10. Bloody Sunday, Styles Clash, pin. Bullet Club wins as Nick sneaks in and interferes
