Tony Nese vs. Cedric Alexander

Quick start from both competitors, Nese is able to keep up at first, but Alexander puts him to the mat and then to the floor. He goes for a leap over the top rope, puts on the breaks, and moonsaults off the apron, taking out Nese. Action back on the ring, Alexander gets tossed up on the top rope and Nese kicks Alexander into the mid-section, catches him and drops him on his knee, pin, two-count.

Alexander goes for a handspring off the ropes, which leads to a couple pin reversals, Nese gets a handful of trunks and is able to pick up the win.

Winner: Tony Nese via Pinfall

- After the match, Nese says Alexander isn't a Premier Athlete, but he's in better shape than everyone in the crowd, getting some mild boos from the live crowd. He continues that Alexander will always be second best compared to Nese.

- Backstage, Dasha Fuentes is with The Brian Kendrick. They recap last week's segment where Jack Gallagher destroyed Kendrick. Kendrick says Jack just doesn't have what it takes, Jack had a chance to compete and he ended up getting disqualified, like what a coward and a clown would do. He continues that he won and he's moving on. Jack comes in and beats the heck out of Kendrick again, Kendrick manages to run away as Jack looks on in anger.

Noam Dar vs. Mark Thomas

Before the match, Noam Dar says he knows who his opponent, and wonders how he's still "trying to make it." Dar gloats at his youth and how he's done so much in his young career compared to his opponent. Thomas gets in some strikes early, but Dar is able to turn the tide and drop his opponent. Multiple kicks and punches as he lands a particularly hard kick to the face while Thomas is down in the corner. Dar finishes off his opponent with relative ease for the 1-2-3.

Winner: Noam Dar via Pinfall

- In the ring, Corey Graves introduces Akira Tozawa, who comes out with a suit on. Graves says Tozawa has seemed to put his shoulder injury and Ariya Daivari behind him, but before he can go much further out strolls Neville. He has a mic and wonders what Corey Graves is doing to his show and why Graves is interviewing the challenger and not the champion. Neville understands Graves is trying to hype the match, but Neville is the hype and that Tozawa is no competition for "The King." As he continues talking, Tozawa tosses his chair out of the ring and removes his suit jacket. Tozawa has a question for Neville, Neville cracks a joke about Tozawa's English. In response, Tozawa asks how Neville will feel when he loses at SummerSlam. Neville just laughs and goes in for a strike, but gets dropped. Tozawa up to the top rope and Neville scatters away from the ring. As Tozawa drops down to the ring, Neville makes a run for him, but gets caught with a kick in the face.
