Near the end of the match, Rhino was about to deliver a Gore to Shera until Moose interfered in the match and attacked Rhino, which led to Shera getting disqualified. In the following match, Eddie Edwards took on Rob Van Dam. Katie Forbes tried to interfere on the match on RVD's behalf but Eddie's wife Alisha Edwards prevented her from interfering. RVD took advantage of the distraction and hit a Van Daminator to Eddie for the win. Later, The North took on The Rascalz. Near the end of the match, Dez attempted to hit a Final Flash but Alexander caught him and Page nailed a spinebuster to Dez for the win. The penultimate match was a Brewery Brawl between Taya Valkyrie and Jordynne Grace. Near the end of the match, Grace hit a corner slingshot splash to Valkyrie and covered her for the pinfall but Valkyrie's manager John E. Bravo pulled the referee out before the referee could make the three-count. A scuffle took place between Grace and Bravo over the chair and the chair accidentally struck Valkyrie during the scuffle, which allowed Grace to nail a Grace Drive to Valkyrie for the win.
Main event match
The main event was an eight-person elimination tag team match pitting Ohio Versus Everything against the team of Brian Cage, Rich Swann, Tessa Blanchard and Willie Mack. Swann suffered a knee injury, thus causing him to be removed from the match and thus getting eliminated first. Callihan and Blanchard were next to get eliminated as they began brawling with each other after Callihan spat on her and they brawled to the backstage and were counted out. Cage would then eliminate Dave by delivering a Drill Claw to Dave. Fulton then eliminated Cage after a diving headbutt from the middle rope. Mack then nailed a stunner to Jake to eliminate him. Fulton executed a lifting reverse STO to Mack to eliminate him and win the match for oVe.
Reception
Larry Csonka of 411Mania rated the event 6.2, considering it "an overall solid event" and appreciated the "lively crowd" which the viewer "could actually hear". He further added "There was nothing must-see and it was a little low energy at times two days ahead of the PPV, which is understandable, but a solid sub-three hour event overall."
