Deaner makes his way back into the ring. Steve bites Deaner before driving him down on the mat with a neck breaker. Eric Young waves his VBD flag, distracting the referee. Well, VBD's plan backfires as Deaner accidentally slams the flag into Rhino, who is holding on to Steve. Steve recovers by hitting a tornado DDT on Deaner, which helps him pick up the pinfall victory.

Winners: Decay

Post-Match: Eric Young is extremely disappointed that Rhino continues to lose following his baptism. Rhino and Young exchange words that are inaudible. Rhino grabs Young's arm.

Backstage: Team Cage is standing by with Gia Miller before their main event battle. Each man is confident they will walk out the victors before their individually scheduled matches on Saturday at Victory Road.
