ZSJ won via one of his elaborate submission holds. Good match.

This was a good match. Cody was down after a couple of clotheslines and Kenny Omega came in and told Brandi Rhodes to throw in a towel, but the Young Bucks stopped him. Cody got up and grabbed the towel and wiped his ass with it, then threw it back at Omega. After a few near falls and each guy hitting his opponent’s finisher, Okada hit a spinning tombstone and a Rainmaker for the win.
