Coming from behind to truly answer the open challenge was former WCW Hardcore Champion Shannon Moore and former IMPACT World Tag Team Champion Crazzy Steve.

Crimson and Dane picked up the victory despite the surprise attack from their opponents and once the match was over, WWE Hall Of Famer Road Warrior Animal who was being interviewed by Jim Cornette in the ring stated that in 2019 the National Wrestling Alliance will be returning the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament.

The last time that the Jim Crockett Cup ran was in 1988 and the likes of The Road Warriors, Lex Luger and Sting, and Dusty Rhodes and Nikita Koloff were winners of the legendary tournament.
