- Indus Sher (Veer Mahaan and Sanga with Jinder Mahal) defeated Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen in a tag team match. Briggs and Jensen weren't on the same page as Mahaan easily delivered the Shotei finisher for the pin to win.

But this gave Carmelo time to recuperate as he downed Bate with a Codebreaker before coming off the top rope with a leg drop for the pin to win. The heel duo celebrated the win in the ring to send the show off-air.
