Backstage: Motor City Machine Guns, KUSHIDA

Backstage: Honor No More, Scott D’Amore

Eddie Edwards is backstage with Honor No More. He questioned what just happened with Heath. The OGK then confront Scott D’Amore demanding the Tag Team Title shot they earned at Emergence. Scott informs then that Doc Gallows will be out for a couple of weeks for they’re going to have to wait for their shot a little longer. In the meantime, D’Amore makes Mike Bennett vs. Karl Anderson for next week and if Anderson wins then Maria will be banned from ringside when the OGK get their shot.

Savannah Evans vs. Killer Kelly

Winner: Killer Kelly via Submission.

Backstage: Rosemary, Taya Valkyrie, Jessicka

Jordynne Grace tells Gia Miller that while she doesn’t always see eye to eye with Mia Yim, she respects her after their physical and competitive Knockouts World Championship match at Emergence.
