Ramier wisely capitalized, hitting a spectacular Shooting Star Press to deal Storm another disappointing defeat.

Marcel Barthel & Fabian Aichner did an excellent job isolating Drake Maverick, but eventually Killian Dain was fed up enough to bulldoze his way into the ring despite not being the legal man. Imperium later seemed stuck in a disagreement on the outside when Barthel ordered Alexander Wolfe to attack Dain — Wolfe's former SAnitY stablemate — with a chair. While Wolfe couldn't pull the trigger, he did stop an attack by Dain, and Barthel sent The Beast of Belfast crashing into the steps.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Barthel & Aichner planted Maverick with the European Bomb for the victory.
