* TM61 def. Patrick Clark/Angelo Dawkins by pinfall
* Hugo Knox def Tino Sabatelli by pinfall
* Carmella, Bayley & Asuka def. Mandy Rose, Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax by submission with the Asuka Lock on Mandy
* Cien Almas def Oney Lorcan by pinfall
* Ember Moon def. Daria Berenato by pinfall
* American Alpha & Shinsuke Nakamura def. The Authors of Pain & Tye Dillinger by submission with the Gable Ankle Lock on one of the Authors of Pain.
Notes:
* The Authors of Pain were doing some extreme anti-America heel work (only speaking their language, a lot of anti-USA talk to the crowd). It was a bit confusing without explanation.
* Mojo Rawley is ridiculously fun in a house show setting. Also seems to have a new finisher, he won with a punch with his opponent in the corner
* Steve Cutler could be a great heel going forward; Raftar is extremely green, not a lot going for him right now.
* Angelo Dawkins is wildly over. One of the biggest pops of the night (bigger than American Alpha)
* All three members of the women's face team got the biggest pops of the night (besides Nakamura). Asuka with a bigger reaction than Bayley
* There was an entrance botch where music played and no one came out and the ref had to improvise in the ring to keep people entertained.
* Cien is good, but his finisher just doesn't have any impact or affect with the crowd. They had match of the night until the 6 man tag. Best wrestling match of the night though
* Daria is going to be a great heel. Ember has huge upside two. One of the best matches Nakamura vs Dillinger is the feud we all want, whether we know it or not. Trust me on this one after watching tonight
* Extremely entertaining main event. The face 3 + Dillinger are consummate pros.
