M1: Miro & "Superbad" Kip Sabian (w/ Penelope Ford) def. Joey Janela & Sonny Kiss

- “It’s me and Moxley tonight for the world’s championship. I was never eliminated from the Casino Battle Royale. And eighteen years says I deserve this shot! Me and Jon Moxley used to be cut from the same cloth but then Jon Moxley sold his soul to the devil and went to the land of sports entertainment. I never sold out.” said Eddie Kingston

M2: "Hangman" Adam Page dеf. Evil Uno

- Tony Schiavone interviewеd Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks earlier in the day backstage. Matt Jackson said they should have never superkicked Alex Marvez or ref Mike Posey and he feels bad about that. Matt said the Bucks have been through a lot in the past few weeks but they will do better. Tony asked about FTR and Matt Jackson grew frustrated and asked for a different question. Matt Jackson requested to see Tony Schiavone’s smart phone and then smashed it against the wall. Matt said he felt bad about doing that and tossed money at Tony, telling him to upgrade.
