Bayley def. Michin
In a message to Becky Lynch, Bayley decided to face Michin without the backup of Dakota Kai and IYO SKY. Michin took it to Bayley, executing a superb dive that rocked the former Raw Women’s Champion. Bayley’s attempt at playing fair was to no avail, as she stole the win with a rollup while her feet were on the ropes.
Bobby Lashley returned to stun Austin Theory and Seth “Freakin” Rollins
Rhea Ripley def. Candice LeRae
Confronted earlier in the evening by The Nightmare, Candice LeRae went toe-to-toe with Rhea Ripley. Buoyed by the release of Dominik Mysterio from prison, “Mami” took care of business, dominating the match and dispatching LeRae with the Riptide.
Solo Sikoa def. Dolph Ziggler
Ziggler attempted to gain retribution after being taken out a few weeks ago by The Bloodline by facing Solo Sikoa. Sikoa started the match strong, but Ziggler used his speed and cunning in an attempt to ground the enforcer, even connecting with a Zig Zag. Sikoa shrugged off the onslaught and clobbered Ziggler with the Samoan Spike to win the match.

The Judgment Day def. The O.C.

The Judgment Day def. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin
Teaming together for the first time since February of last year, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin paired up to face The Judgment Day in Tag Team Turmoil. Alexander and Benjamin looked like they hadn’t missed a beat, starting the match with a bang as they hit multiple tandem moves on Bálor and Priest. However, The Judgment Day moved on to the next team, taking out the former Hurt Business members with a Coup de Grace on Alexander.
The Judgment Day def. Alpha Academy
With the Judgment Day having already competed in two grueling matches, their resolve was wearing thin. Alpha Academy looked to take advantage of this, and they nearly did so after Otis hit a Caterpillar on Priest. Otis followed up with a huge splash on Bálor with Chad Gable on top that knocked the wind out of The Prince. Priest squeaked out the win with a wicked clothesline on Otis to keep Judgment Day alive.
The Judgment Day def. The Street Profits
Before the match, WWE Official Adam Pearce announced that Dominik Mysterio would take the place of Finn Bálor after Otis had damaged The Prince’s ribs. The Street Profits were rolling, showcasing their athleticism with Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins flying high. Dominik showcased his "prison grit," surviving every attempt The Street Profits made to pin him. Ford nearly had the win after a huge 450 Splash, but Priest saved Dominik from eating the pin. The Street Profits succumbed to The Judgment Day as Dominik rolled up Dawkins for the huge victory.
