No real surprises here. Daniels got in a few moves but this was a Malakai win all day long.

Inside headlock takeover by Strong onto London. Strong with a side headlock as he’s sent into the ropes and hits a big shoulder tackle. London comes back with a nice high knee to the face.

Strong follows up with a bow & arrow stretch as his knee is into the back of Lightning.
Roderick gets rolled up several times into a pinfall as Strong kicks out. Drop toe hold and a suplex by London. London is going up top as Strong rolls out of the way. London chases after him as he hits a crossbody on Taven before being clotheslined by Wardlow! This is all while the referee is distracted as Strong hits a cloverleaf submission for the win.
Here is your Winner:Roderick Strong
I'm excited to see the story progress for Strong and who his first feud is going to be. I really feel like Kyle O'Reilly is going to be first up for him. And that will be a good first feud.
MATCH 3: SERENA DEEB VS TRISH ADORA
The Professor somehow twisted Adora into a pretzel in the middle of the ring before kicking her in the rear. Adora with a nice backbreaker but Deeb hits a dragon screw, followed by a clothesline. Deeb catches Adora between the ropes and hits a backbreaker across the middle rope. A great series of counters follows as Deeb pulls off a back breaker.
Back elbow to Adora in the corner, followed by another dragon screw. Adora with a Nelson bomb, followed by a pin for a kickout. Deeb with a few uppercuts as Adora hits her with a right hand. Deeb sends her into the ropes for a release German and follows it up with the serenity lock for the victory.
Here is your Winner:Serena Deeb
Serena Deeb is incredible but I just feel she is missing something. I don’t see her challenging for any titles soon but her in ring talent is unquestionable.
MATCH 4: FINAL FOUR ELIMINATION-DANIEL GARCIA VS ACTION ANDRETTI VS KOMANDER VS BRYAN KEITH
Komander and Andretti going at it inside the ring while Keith and Garcia are fighting outside. Komander eliminates Bryan Keith via rollup, as he’s livid! We are back as Andretti hits a back moonsault on Garcia. Meanwhile, Komander hits an aerial assault on everyone outside the ring. Andretti eliminates Komander with a cutter from off the ropes.
It’s now down to Garcia and Andretti as Garcia hits a drop-toe hold. Andretti hits a neckbreaker as he delivers a standing moonsault. Garcia hits an ankle lock and gets Andretti in the middle of the ring. Andretti hits a crossbody from over the top rope. Back inside the ring, Andretti and Garcia exchange forearm shots to the face. Andretti hits a falcon arrow as Garcia kicks out. Garcia with a leg submission hold for the victory.
Here is your Winner: Daniel Garcia
Great main event with four excellent competitors. Always had Garcia down for this win in this one.
