The following changes have been made to the respective matches that Blackwood and Kingston were scheduled to be in:

Eddie Kingston, Homicide & Wheeler Yuta vs. Jay White, Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows -> Homicide & Wheeler Yuta vs. Jay White & Karl Anderson

Kevin Blackwood vs Ariya Daivari -> Kevin Knight vs. Ariya Daivari
