- No DQ Match: Sting and Darby Allin defeat Brody King and Buddy Matthews (w/Julia Hart): Sting and Darby attacked House Of Black on their entrance and it became an all out war. Sting went off the top rope through a table, but no one was home. House of Black then handcuffed Sting, which took a while, but then they turned their attention to Darby. Darby did a Coffin Drop onto a standing Buddy Matthews off of the entrance way, then Brody and Darby went crashing off the stage into tables. Buddy was about to hit a still handcuffed Sting with his bat before the lights went out and came back on to the music of The Great Muta, who spit mist in the face of Buddy, which caused him to knock Julia Hart through a table. Sting picked up the win for his team and hugged Muta after.
