The show started with a look back at what had led to each of the feuds of the night, before the night's first matches began. The show was set to continue the Gargano and Ciampa feud, this time with the NXT Championship on the line. The Undisputed Era had two matches, with Adam Cole defending his North American Championship against Ricochet, and Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong facing Moustache Mountain.

Severn and Bate's chemistry showed as Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly tried to collect their breath and slow things down.
Roderick Strong got his team back in the bout with a Backbreaker on Trent Severn.

Bate showed immense strength as he carried Reilly on his shoulder while doing a 360 Spin holding onto Strong's legs. They were countering, but Bate did a Deadlift German Suplex on Strong, with O'Reilly still on his shoulder.
