In the TBS Championship four-way match, Maya World successfully retained her title against Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, and Persephone. In trios action, Will Ospreay, Henare, and Francesco Akira of the United Empire defeated The Don Callis Family members Brian Cage, Rocky Romero, and Lance Archer.

The Continental Challenge Cup continued with Jon Moxley defeating Jay White and Nigel McGuinness advancing past Hechicero. Other notable segments included a sit-down interview with Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay conducted by Renee Paquette, and a confrontation involving International Champion Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita.
