Dawkins started against Jimmy Uso, but both men tagged out soon. This was a decent match, but it did not end up being as good as we know these teams can be together.

The Street Profits ended up winning when Ford beat the count back into the ring.

Owens celebrated, but then Zeke said he was lying and he really was Ezekiel.

Nikki interfered to keep Morgan from winning, and that cleared the way for Ripley to hit Doudrop with Riptide for the win.
Winner: Rhea Ripley
