- Neville comes out for a promo and says he was robbed of his WrestleMania moment last year after he suffered an ankle injury right before the big one. He says it is irrelevant as to who he will face, as he will deconstruct them all. Mustafa Ali comes out and interrupts the champ as he gets set for action. A bit surprised he isn't in the five-way.

Mustafa Ali vs. Drew Gulak

Drew Gulak starts off with a few stiff shots. Ali showing off his athleticism with an impressive feat of balance with some springboards and dives. Ali gets Gulak back in the ring for a two count. Gulak sent to the corner. Ali goes for a Tornado DDT, gets stopped short, turns it into a Guillotine, but Gulak reverses into a power slam. He starts to work over the high flyer and grinds the pace to a halt with a full body submission. Ali creates space with a series of shots. Roll through neck breaker from Ali for a near fall. Gulak reprieves a somersault into a roll-up for a two. Nice series lands Gulak in a bad spot. Ali climbs up for the Inverted 450 and hits it to perfection for the win.

Winner via Pinfall: Mustafa Ali

- After the match, Drew Gulak takes a mic and says he puts in good work week after week, but always comes up short and leaves frustrated. He said he isn't the problem, but 205 Live is the problem, and the show needs to change.

- Backstage with the newly formed team of Dar and Daivari. They face Swann and Gallagher later tonight. Dar says a lady like Alicia Foxxxxx will only stay with a winner, so they need the dub.

Jack Gallagher & Rich Swann vs. Noam Dar & Ariya Daivari

The gentleman apparently has some moves and dances along with Swann's intro. Fox starts yelling "FIGHT, FIGHT" with grand enthusiasm as the bell rings. Gallagher headstands his way out of an early submission and Dar goes so far as to ask the official if it was legal. Speaking of headstands, Gallagher does his trademark in the corner and throws up the red light to Dar which sells it hilariously. Dar-vari meet in the middle and bump heads, a likely sign of things to come. Gallagher gets worked for a bit and is stopped from making a tag on multiple occasions. Tags made to both teammates. Swann comes out swinging and even hits Rolling Thunder. Swann swings Daivari to the corner, gets a boot for his troubles, but swings up a kick of his own. Blind tag made by Dar before Swann sends Daivari to the middle of the ring for the head scissors take down. Dar hits a Shining Wizard for the win.

Winner via Pinfall: Noam Dar & Ariya Daivari

- After the match, Dar grabs the mic and says actions speak louder than words/gifts, and got her the victory instead. Right on cue, the terribly dressed delivery guy comes in with a huge teddy bear, which Dar claims as his idea once again. Please let the payoff present itself.
