Leva hit a DDT and got a 1 count. Nyla hit a running powerslam, and brought Leva back up. Leva tried to hit a crucifix, but Nyla powered of it and a sunset flip.

Rating: ** (2 stars)

Tony Schiavone announced that Britt Baker would be taking on Jamie Hayter.

A hype video aired for The Dark Order, which has done more to put them over tan most of the stuff we’ve seen so far. I’d still like to see a promo from them to explain their motivations.

Alex Marvez interviewed Sky and Kazarian about the attack on Daniels. Sky said he didn’t know the status of Daniels, but he was very upset about seeing Daniels on the stretcher. SCU promised to beat the Dark Order for Daniels, and how they were going to target the Lucha Brothers.

PAC cut a promo on Moxley, covered in blood, and he said he was going to make Moxley regret what he did.

Private Party had to assure security that Strong Hearts were with them. Nice little touch to the entrance.
