Bianca Belair, Asuka and Alexa Bliss vs Damage Control (Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai:
This entertaining affair was a match that could have swung either way.

A hot tag to Bianca could have turned the tide of the game before Bayley and Iyo came to the aid of their teammate Kai in the nick of time. After helping Kai connect a knee on Belair, Bayle’s Rose Plant move and Iyo’s moonsault on the EST were enough to pack up the fight in favour of team Damage control.

An old-school beatdown featuring the two men was a solid match as the wrestlers obliterated each other. There were punches flying everywhere as Gunther got off to a great start taking the fight to Sheamus. But, the Celtic warrior kept growing into the fight as he managed to hit the white noise.

This was a topsy-turvy match in which Shayna Baszler was focused on taking the fight to Morgan, who was put on the defensive due to Baszler’s aggression. Liv Morgan held on to deliver a knee to the head of Shayna before she pulled out of a two count. Shayna recovered and was looking to lock in the armbar, but Liv smashed Baszler’s head into the turnbuckle before hitting the oblivion to pick up the victory.

Edge and Rey Mysterio vs The Judgement Day (Finn Balor and Daien Priest):

However, the veteran wrestler managed to tag his partner in to turn the tide of the game. He hit Balor with a 619, only for Priest to break the count at 2. Dominik Mysterio served as a distraction throughout the bout as he first prevented Priest from connecting a Coup de grace on Edge, and came up with another distraction to permit Rey to use the 619 on Priest to pick up the victory.
