Last week, the show began in an eight-man/woman tag team match. It was oVe versus Tessa Blanchard, Rhino, Rob Van Dam, and Tommy Dreamer. In the match, bodies were flying and landing everywhere. The match ended when Blanchard put Jake Crist in a submission hold. He could not tolerate the pain anymore and tapped out. Commentator Josh Mathews mentioned at the beginning of the match how Blanchard's team looked just like The Avengers, and they certainly did.

Alisha Edwards received an opportunity to dethrone Knockouts Champion Taya Valkyrie, who is now the longest reigning women's champion in the company. She has now held the title for over 260+ days, surpassing Taryn Terrell (238 days), Rosemary (213 days), and Gail Kim (210 days). Valkyrie just couldn't be caught. While the match was going on, an injured Ace Austin with the help of a medical assistant, wheeled his way down to the ring to support Alisha in her match up. Towards the end of the match, John E. Bravo pulled Alisha out of the ring, after she went for a cover. Austin was furious that Bravo did that. He got out of the wheelchair and attacked Bravo while Alisha's back was turned. Valkyrie retained the title, but afterward, Austin went back to pretending he was severely injured and fell right out of his wheelchair. Alisha ran to him and tried to get someone to help him make his way to the back.

Mahabali Shera made his in-ring return against one-half of The Deaners, Cody Deaner. Shera had the upper hand in the match by throwing down several chokeslams and powerbombs. Shera picked up the win. The war between The Desi Hit Squad and The Deaners is far from over.

All three men from The Rascalz teamed up and took on Australian Suicide, Arez, and Toxin in a six-man tag team match. Each one gave it their all, but it was The Rascalz who picked up the win after Dez and Wentz worked together and took out Suicide. Each week, The Rascalz prove time and time again why they are the best in their respected division.

Jessicka Havok and Su Yung's no disqualification match was quite brutal. Both women did not hold back in this match. After Yung picked up the win, they both continued brawling backstage. Havok out of nowhere took out a rope, wrapped the rope around Yung's neck, and hung her over the stair rail. Yung was rushed to the hospital. Upon her arrival at the hospital, Yung was flatlining. The doctors concluded that there wasn't much else they could do. A few seconds later after the doctors walked away, the camera paneled back over on Yung who awoke. Is Yung now "undead?" Recently, all of her social media profiles have disappeared. What does all this mean?
