Braun Strowman & Ember Moon vs. Bayley & Finn Balor: Bayley and Moon to begin. They lock up; Moon hits a shoulder tackle, and then follows with arm drags. Bayley hits a shoulder tackle, and Moon is pissed. Balor & Strowman in now. Balor attacks with leg kicks, but Strowman cuts him off until Balor hits a clothesline. Strowman shakes it off and lays in clubbing strikes. He then grounds things with a neck crank, and then hits a clothesline for 2. Strowman lays the boots to Balor, and then whips him to the buckles and Balor is down. Balor tries to fire back, but Strowman head butts him and chokes him out. Balor counters out of the powerslam, lays in kicks and looks for a tag, but Strowman slams him to the buckles. Strowman misses a charge and Bayley tags in and runs wild with clotheslines. The stunner in the ropes connects, but Moon cuts her off until Bayley hits a knee strike but Moon hits a springboard high cross for 2. Bayley fights back and the knee strike gets 2. They trade strikes, sidekick by Moon and the enziguri follows and she heads up top. Bayley cuts her off but Moon tags in Strowman. He misses a charge, posts himself, and Balor hits the double stomp to the back and then misses a second. Bayley takes out Moon, but Strowman powerslams Balor for the win. Braun Strowman & Ember Moon defeated Bayley & Finn Balor @ 9:20 via pin [***] This was good and fun, all action, and the crowd loved it.

– They tease that Owens is out of the competition.

Carmella & Truth vs. Charlotte & AJ Styles: Truth and Carmella have upgraded their entrance, they are so great. Charlotte is banged up from Smackdown and Styles also had a match earlier tonight. They stall and play to he crowd to begin. Truth and Styles to begin. They lock up and Truth fakes out Styles, dances, and Styles then “dances.” The ladies tag in and we get the dance break. Carmella and Truth do splits and so does Charlotte. Styles tries and fails, grabbing his crotch. Carmella hit a head scissors on Styles, and charlotte attacks with chops, but is favoring her injured harm. She chases Carmella, it’s like an episode of Scooby–Doo. Back in and Carmella fights off the figure four. Charlotte dropkicks her to the floor, back in and the suplex follows from Charlotte, and the cradle gets 2, but Carmella transitions into the code of silence. Charlotte powers out but Carmella cradles her for 2. Truth and Styles back in and Styles runs wild and hits an ushigoroshi for 2 as Carmella makes the save. Truth battles back, hits the axe kick, and covers for 2 as Charlotte makes the save, Superkick by Carmella, Truth fights off the clash with Carmella’s help but Charlotte takes out Carmella and Styles rolls up truth for the win. Charlotte & AJ Styles defeated Carmella & Truth @ 8:30 via pin [**] This was ok, it had it’s fun and silly parts, but really felt like a perfect chance for Carmella & Truth to win with Charlotte’s injury.
