Winners: The Young Bucks and SCU via Pinfall

- Post-match, Kazarian gets on the mic and says that's how you start out the year. Kazarian says that the challenge was put out the next he and Daniels lose together, they will be done as a team forever. He doesn't see that happening on his watch. Daniels takes the mic and says he has Matt and Nick's back, other than the night they face the champions in the ring for the titles. The two team shake hands and celebrate a bit more.

- Jon Moxley heads out to the ring and gets on a mic. Moxley says fans may have expected him to come out here and cuss up a storm about what happened during his title match against Kenny Omega. He says life isn't fair, sometimes you're given a bad deal, and just take it on the chin. Moxley says that's when you stand your ground and don't give in an inch. Moxley says an appropriate response would be to find Omega and Don Callis, then beat them down with a crowbar. With a title match taking place, he's not going to take the opportunity away from Rey Fenix who has scratched his way to the top for 13 years. It's not his right to change someone else's destiny. Moxley then tells Omega that he's not safe, and when he says he's going to do something, he will do it. "The boogieman will forever be lurking over your shoulder!" Moxley says Omega is going to one day realize he crossed the wrong guy.

- Backstage, Dasha asks Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor about an update on Trent. Chuck says he has a torn pec out 4 to 5 months. Miro, Penelope, and Kip interrupt. Miro says he knows Trent was the leader, and if they need a friend, they can come to his house and wash his car / do his laundry. They decide to have a match next week, but Miro ups the stakes by saying if Chuck loses he has to be Miro's "young boy" until after Kip and Penelope's wedding.

Allin then heads up and weighs in at 170 pounds. Allin takes the mic and says he's dealt with s— from people like Taz his whole life. Allin says let's just get to the fun part. Allin grabs his skateboard. Taz tells Tony to get out of the ring and goes to talk, but out comes Sting. Team Taz bails out of the ring. Sting is now in the ring with Darby. Taz yells that he's sick of the snow and he's sick of Sting! Taz tells Allin that next week a new TNT Champion will be crowned! Sting and Allin exchange looks as Team Taz heads to the back.

- Backstage, MJF brings a camera man into a room where Jake Hager is super mad about his loss. MJF tells Hager that he should be proud of himself (he got in and out of the ring, which doesn't always happen in pro wrestling), and he's still undefeated in the octagon. Hager says MJF almost got dropped when he came into the room, but he's "cool" and gets a fist bump. Hager then tells him to head out.
