With WWE Legends and TLC stalwarts The Dudley Boyz and The Hardy Boyz watching at ringside, the six teams did everything in their power to scale a ladder and recover the titles.
All five challenging teams immediately jumped The Wyatts, taking them out before turning their attention to each other.
Weapons were abundant in and around the ring, as Johnny Gargano DDT’d Gacy through a table, Lumis hit a flying leg drop onto Montez Ford through a table, Fenix executed a Frog Splash onto Nathan Frazer through a table, and Axiom leveled Angelo Dawkins with an unreal Spanish Fly through two tables as Tommaso Ciampa narrowly got out of the way.
Candice LeRae rushed the ring to help her husband, but she was met by B-Fab and the demented Nikki Cross.

The carnage continued as Ciampa grabbed the title and continued dangling above the ring after the ladder was removed. Ciampa somehow dodged a flying Nathan Frazer by lifting his legs and hanging upside down, but he and Gargano were sent soaring from the ladder and through a quartet of tables on the outside.

Lynch continued the assault with a Kendo stick, a steel chair and even a toolbox before zip-tying Valkyria’s hands together and hanging her over the steel ring post to inflict more damage with a Kendo stick.
The valiant Valkyria fought back and even used her bound hands to her advantage, trapping Lynch in a bear hug and headbutting her into near submission.

After taking out Valkyria with a vicious steel chair stomp, Lynch was confronted by Bayley.

Valkyria went for the win but was accidentally punched by Bayley’s chain-wrapped hand, allowing Lynch to hit a decisive Man-handle Slam, meaning Valkyria can no longer challenge for the title as long as Lynch remains champion.

Fatu sent Sikoa into the steel walls of the cage, and when the champion reciprocated, a twisted smile grew on the face of the challenger, as it didn’t seem to faze him.
The Samoan Werewolf hit a pair of moonsaults, and it forced Tonga Loa, JC Mateo and Talla Tonga to hit the scene, only for Jimmy Uso to arrive and help Fatu.
After locking the cage, Fatu turned into a Samoan Spike, which gave the champion time to climb the cage. The MFTs pounced, handcuffing Fatu to the top of the structure.

The Intercontinental Title still belongs to The Judgment Day as Dominik Mysterio defeated the veteran AJ Styles.
Mysterio struggled to keep up with Styles, but his counter of the Phenomenal Forearm into a Michinoku Driver changed the complexion of the match.
Dirty Dom continued with his well-timed counters as he lifted his knees during Styles’ Frog Splash and hit a 619, but Mysterio’s Frog Splash was also countered, this time into a Calf Crusher.
With the official distracted, the champion attempted to channel WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero by framing the challenger with a steel chair, but the wily Styles also hit the ground and played chicken as the ref watched in confusion.
Styles locked in another Calf Crusher, but Mysterio’s boot slipped off. During the chaos, Dirty Dom cracked the challenger with the boot and landed a Frog Splash to win the match.
