Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega had a face-to-face where Omega accepted Danielson’s challenge for a fight. After Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston won their tag team match a brawl broke out between Moxley/Kingston and Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer. As the feud between these four men is far from over.
Other highlights included Malaki Black and Cody Rhodes brawling through the stands to set up their match next week. FTR was in action along with Darby Allin and Shawn Spears. Not to mention Chris Jericho answering an open challenge. Plus we had CM Punk on commentary.
