Dalton Castle & The Boys (Brandon & Brent Tate) vs. Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds, & Evil Uno)

Silver started this match by requesting a Boy, then gorilla pressing said Boy into the ropes. The Boys ganged up on Silver and Reynolds before Uno cut off Boy Brent from the outside. Dark Order singled out Brent as the commentators talked about the out-of-character underhanded tactics the Dark Order used.

Brent eventually got the tag into Castle, who flung the Dark Order about with suplexes before throwing Boys at them. Brent tagged in, but Uno sent Castle into him before Silver and Reynolds took out Castle on the floor. Silver and Reynolds cut off dives from the Boys, sending Brandon into the barricade. Dark Order then hit Brent with the Ragnarok to score the win.

Winner: Dark Order via Pinfall.
