Later, Garcia shoved Briscoe at ringside. Ciampa collided with Briscoe on the apron, allowing Garcia to hit a jackknife pin for the victory. Briscoe attempted to apologize, but Ciampa slapped his hand away.

FTR emerged to confront Ciampa until Briscoe intervened to protect him. The two men walked up the ramp together before Ciampa laid Briscoe out with a running knee.

Statlander and Thekla agree to stipulation

Kris Statlander appeared in a backstage vignette. She challenged Thekla to a two-out-of-three falls match at Revolution. Thekla walked to the ring and initially rejected the proposal. However, the champion then changed her mind and told Statlander to quit.

Private Party wins $200,000

Strickland confronts JetSpeed

Lexy Nair interviewed Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey. Knight expressed guilt over losing the Trios Championship. Swerve Strickland interrupted the segment to offer unsolicited advice. He stated that Knight must become a killer if he wants to succeed.

Shafir attacks Storm

Megan Bayne and Lena Kross defeated Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa. Marina Shafir pulled Storm off the ring apron during the closing moments. The two women brawled on the floor before rolling under the ring. Kross then hit Shirakawa with a jackhammer suplex to win the match.

Storm later stood on the stage to demand a title match against Shafir at Revolution. She insisted that all allies must be banned from ringside. The stipulation was later made official by Tony Khan.

Dogs win standby match

The Dogs competed in a quick standby match against three local wrestlers. David Finlay hit the Overkill on his opponent to secure a dominant victory.

Takeshita pins Castagnoli

Konosuke Takeshita faced Claudio Castagnoli in the main event. Jon Moxley sat at the commentary desk for the match. Castagnoli targeted Takeshita’s left arm to soften him up for Moxley.

The CMLL champion brought chairs into the ring to distract the referee. Hechicero then ran down and snatched Castagnoli’s title belt away. Takeshita capitalized on the confusion and executed a tope con hilo. He later avoided a Neutralizer and hit the Raging Fire driver for the win.

Moxley stepped into the ring to confront Takeshita after the bell. Hechicero blindsided Moxley with a forearm strike. Takeshita stopped Hechicero and demanded a fair fight. Castagnoli rushed the ring, leading to a massive four-way brawl as the broadcast concluded.
