#1 DIY
DIY have participated in the Dusty Rhodes Classic two times and have never made it past the semi-finals. This time they faced off against the winners of the last years Dusty Rhodes Classic, the Undisputed Era. The two teams put on a great show with fast-paced action coupled with in-ring storytelling, lead to an enthralling match that captivated the crowd's attention the whole way through.
While a show consisting solely on tag team matches for the first round was always going to have difficulties maintaining the energy, the DIY vs Undisputed Era match topped the episode off well.
It seems that despite being apart for over a year and feuding for a significant part of that year, Ciampa and Gargano have not lost a step when it comes to pairing together in the ring. The match started with a nice touch, as Gargano came out first followed by Ciampa with their individual entrance music, only for it to change over to the old DIY theme when the two were together at the top of the ramp and it only got better from there.
All four men are highly gifted and great wrestlers in the field, with all of them being the complete package. The match reflected this nicely, as not only was the spacing and movement perfect, but they also timed everything almost perfectly, as if they had been doing this their entire lives. The match also ended on a special note with Gargano and Ciampa hitting their DIY finisher with "Meeting in the Middle" on Kyle O'Reilly for the win.
