There’s plenty of confrontation between MJF and Sammy after the match. Chris tells them to stop this shit. They have seven days to work it all out or The Inner Circle break up forever.

Alex Marvez is with The Young Bucks and they’re taking on TH2 next week. Nick asks Marvez if he remembers when they superkicked him in the face.  If TH2 beats them, they’ll give them a shot at the titles. In come Castor and Bowens and they run down The Bucks. Castor raps a bit, ripping on their book and in come TH2 for the attack.

MATCH 3

Britt Baker (with Rebel) vs. “Legit” Leyla Hirsch

MATCH 4

Darby Allin & Cody Rhodes vs. Team Taz (Powerhouse Hobbs & Ricky Starks w/ Taz)

Fight immediately starts in the ring. Hobbs gets tossed to the outside as Starks and Darby go at it. They corner Starks and we go to break.

He sends Darby into their corner and Starks chokes him with his boot. Darby tries to fight back, but Hobbs grabs him by the ears and vaults him over.

Darby soon flips out of belly to backs by Team Taz and tags in Cody. He’s hot tagging like a madman. Taz and Arn get on the apron, allowing Starks to gouge his eyes. Starks soon counters a Cross Rhodes attempt. As Cody vaults himself off the turnbuckle for a cutter (which he hits on Starks), Darby tags himself in, nails The Coffin Drop and gets the W.

WINNERS: Darby Allin & Cody Rhodes

Post-match, Arn and Taz get physical. Out comes Dustin Rhodes and then comes Brian Cage. They’ve attacked Arn and then go after Dustin before beating the hell out of Cody. THe lights soon go out. Winter flurries are on the big screen and out comes Sting! He stares at Cody, Arn and then Darby Allin. Very amazing segment.

The crew announces that Tony Khan signed Sting to a multi-year deal and they also promote that Sting will speak next week.

Alex Marvez is backstage with Hikaru Shida and asks her about being intimidated by Abadon. Hikaru says she isn’t afraid of a cosplay zombie but we hear noises in the background and Shida looks a bit stirred. She asks Marvez if they can start over and Alex says this is live (pal).

Jon Moxley is all ready for his match tonight. The two best wrestlers in the world. Tonight, two warriors go at it and the stakes couldn’t be higher. There’s only one thing to do, go out there and make them go absolutely “banana” (very nice cap tip to the late Pat Patterson – RIP).
