Maxwell kicks Ricky in the nuts and goes back to hit him with the diamond ring, but Ricky hits him with a spear.
Winner: Ricky Starks
- Darby Allin and Samoa Joe are coming up.
- Jon Moxley says he's tired of talking and looking forward to making a statement with professional wrestling. Tonight, he will accompany Yuta and Castagnoli to the ring tonight. He also says that he likes the new Hangman Page and respects him for getting back on his horse.
TNT Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Darby Allin
Darby put up the fight of his life but in the end, Samoa Joe would catch him in the Coquina Clutch and Darby passed out. Never one to stay down, Darby would get up very quickly after the match ended and Samoa Joe dropped him with a Muscle Buster onto a skateboard.

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta by pinfall.
