Before a commercial break, Kris Statlander was shown attacking Kamille and Mercedes Moné backstage before putting them through a wall.
After the break, Tony Schiavone interviewed Will Ospreay.
He called out Kyle Fletcher and they argued about his change of heart and being part of The Don Callis Family. It led to Fletcher challenging Ospreay to a match at Full Gear, which Billy Goat quickly accepted.
Lance Archer and Brian Cage showed up to support Fletcher, so Will Hobbs and Mark Davis came out to help Ospreay. A huge brawl broke out as Roderick Strong made his way out for a match against Archer.
The bout got started on the stage, and they fought to the back to begin this Falls Count Anywhere match as the show cut to a break.
There was little wrestling and a lot of chaos during this match. The Machine showed up to help his partner, so Matt Taven and Mike Bennett arrived to help Strong.
The promo battle between Ospreay and Fletcher was great, and using it as a way to lead into Strong vs. Archer was a good way to flow from one segment to the other.
Strong managed to pin Archer in the crowd to win his third match and officially earn a shot at MJF at Full Gear.
Result: Strong defeated Archer
Notable Moments and Observations
- Ospreay throwing the screwdriver so it stuck perfectly in the mat next to the ring was pretty cool.
- Strong attacked Archer with a kendo stick during his entrance.
- The way Taven was chokeslammed into two security guards looked rough.
