Dragunov breaks the hold with a head scissors and then locks in a side head lock of his own. Dragunov hits the ropes and levels Balor with a crossbody.

Gargano and Ciampa hit Seven with Meeting in the Middle, and Ciampa covers Seven for the three count. After the match, all four me shake hands and hug. Ciampa keeps holding the back of his neck, and I really hope he’s just selling the effects of the match. I honestly couldn’t even attempt to keep up with the lightning fast technical brilliance in that match.

O’Reilly and Strong level Walter with the high / low, and the Strong dives onto Barthel, O’Reilly, and Cole on the outside. Aichner pops up top and dives onto everyone on the outside.
