As both men recover, D'Angelo goes to the steel steps, looking for his beating stick. It's not there because Wilde and Del Toro have grabbed it.

Wes Lee and Nathan Frazer walk by Sanga backstage, and he says it wasn't fair what Wagner did to them. He says men of their size would have a hard time against a person as big as Wagner. Frazer says it's a miscommunication, but Lee is still fuming. It leads to a match between the two.

Diamond Mine argues after the match. After the tag match, Legado addresses the feud with Tony D. Santos says that he'll also come out by himself, but Cruz and Joaquin want revenge.

Both teams get to their feet and reboot the match. After Brutus gets dropped to the outside, Damon Kemp distracts the ref. Roddy jumps in and tries to interfere again, but Julius catches him and throws him out of the ring. He yells that they don't need him. That distraction allows the Viking Raiders to land a tandem power bomb for the surprising win.

Erik hits a German Suplex on Brutus, but Julius does the same to Erik. Julius jumps to the top but Ivar pushes him off. Ivar misses a flying head butt, allowing Julius to get another near fall. Erik breaks up the pin with a knee to the face of Julius.

Ivar hits a move and gets a near fall. FYI - Roddy Strong and Damon Kemp came out to the ring as well. Erik and Brutus are tagged back in and the Creeds land a tandem move for a near fall.

After Brutus hits a rough-looking cannonball before the break, things are even once the action resumes. Ivar and Julius come in with Ivar bludgeoning Julius.

Indi Hartwell says that she's had a lot of ups and downs. She also says that it is the first time she's been only out for herself. A challenge for Mandy Rose follows.

Gacy tries to goad Bron into physicality. He says that if Bron gets disqualified at In Your House, he will lose the title. Breakker accepts. He's looking more orange today than usual.

Gacy talks in circles before asking for another one-on-one match. What is it with these guys losing matches and asking for another title shot?

Bron hits the ring and says that Gacy is coming to drop him unconscious after leaving him in a field two weeks ago. Gacy comes out to the random pulpit in the arena, flanked by the two hooded people.

Duke Hudson is telling Mac Mitchell how he's recalculated things over the last two weeks. Mac asks him about what's next, and before he can answer, Bron Breakker loudly storms by and says to hit his music.

Tony D and his goons recount certain times that they "took care" of some people in their past. It ends with Tony saying he'll take care of Escobar by himself. Yeah right.

Lash misses a spinning heel kick but whiffs. Paxley tries to hoist Lash up for the third time, but whiffs again. That allows Legend to land a pump kick for the win.
Result - Lash Legend defeats Tatum Paxley by pin.

Tatum goes to deadlift Legend but she falls down. Legend kicks her and sends her head-first into the middle buckle. She then wraps Paxley's leg around the post.

By the way, that was in reference to a Thea Hail vignette airing before the next match. SHE HASN'T EVEN GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL!

Not sure how I feel about people under 20 who don't have wrestling experience getting chances that others fought years to get.

Mac Mitchell interviews Pretty Deadly, and they fake being afraid of the Creeds. Mac says that they'll face the Creeds at In Your House. I guess there isn't a #1 Contender's match, huh?
