Keith Lee & Matt Riddle vs. Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly
Before we get to the main event, we see a package for Angel Garza where he talks about his late uncle, Hector and it almost comes off as a babyface package. Kind of strange considering he’s been working as a heel, but it works. Cathy Kelly also announces that Shayna Baszler and Rhea Ripley will be the captains for the Women’s War Games match.
Both teams come out for the main event and Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish take out Riddle right away to deal with Keith Lee. After initially taking the advantage, Lee uses his stunning athleticism to take both Fish and O’Reilly out with a cross-body block. Lee starts chucking the two around before they decide to regroup outside of the ring, but are met by Riddle.
Fish gets into the ring and is promptly double teamed by Lee and Riddle. O’Reilly tries to jump in, but Lee double chops him before Riddle delivers his troll jackhammer to Fish, who hilariously kicks out at one.
Lee and Riddle spend the commercial break throwing Lee and O’Reilly around the ring before Fish finally regains control of the match. The Undisputed Era eventually cuts off Riddle and the build to the hot tag begins as they ground him with a series of strikes and submissions.
Eventually, Fish holds Riddle in the corner and O’Reilly delivers a boot to the face of Fish. After locking Riddle in a knee bar, Riddle escapes and looks to make a tag to Lee, but Fish kicks Lee off the apron. Fish and O’Reilly hit the kick/brainbuster combo, but Lee breaks up the pin at two.
O’Reilly locks Riddle in a guillotine, but Riddle escapes again, rolls through and tags in Lee. Lee takes control of the match picking up where he left off earlier in the match but as he goes for a powerbomb to Fish, O’Reilly kicks Lee in the back of the leg. Again, Lee regains control shortly after and goes for a second rope moonsault on Fish, but misses.
O’Reilly takes control and puts Lee in an armbar, but Lee slams him to the mat and tags in Riddle for another hot tag. After a series of exploder suplexes, Riddle starts dominating the Undisputed Era before Adam Cole and Rodrick Strong hit the ring. Riddle holds them off at first including a twisting moonsault to the outside before throwing Fish back in the ring as Lee wipes out Strong and Cole with a cross-body on the outside.
Riddle continues to battle Fish, but eventually walks into the High-Low with O’Reilly sneaking into the ring to pick up the win.
Winners: Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish
The Undisputed Era continues the beatdown after the match, but Tomasso Ciampa hits the ring with his crutch and quickly takes out everyone except for Cole. Ciampa makes his move, but O’Reilly returns to the ring only to get beaten down by Ciampa. Riddle and Lee get back up and Lee throws O’Reilly back outside the ring as Ciampa picks up a microphone and eyes Cole’s NXT title.
As Ciampa eyes the title, he says “Goldy, you’ll have to wait. Daddy’s going to war.” The show ends with Cole furious at the top of the ramp.
Grade: 4 out of 5 stars
