“Hangman” Adam Page vs. Wheeler Yuta!
“We’re starting hot,” said Jericho.
Yuta hit Page with a dropkick out of the gate! Yuta applied the Octopus Stretch and then worked over Page’s legs. Hangman Page, all tied up, was forced to use the rope break.
Wheeler Yuta chopped away at Hangman Page’s chest. Page fired back and rocked Yuta with an elbow and then a sliding lariat. Page sent Yuta flying with a fallaway slam and then knocked Yuta to the outside with a lariat. Page followed up with a dive over the top rope to the floor on Wheeler Yuta.
“He is sending a message to Moxley. This is what you have in store for you next week on Dynamite,” said Jericho of Hangman.
A tenacious Wheeler followed Hangman to the outside with a tope! Yuta attempted another tope but Page caught him and countered with a powerbomb on the ring apron. Back in the ring, Page blasted Wheeler with a pop-up Liger Bomb for a near fall!
“I don’t know that anybody in our company has a better striking game than Hangman Page,” said Jim Ross.
Yuta took flight and dropped a forearm from the top rope onto Page. Yuta sat out with a bulldog headlock on Page for a two count. Page began to batter Wheeler Yuta with machine gun headbutts. Page walloped Yuta with an avalanche Death Valley Driver for a near fall!
Page folded up Wheeler like an accordion with German Suplexes. Wheeler Yuta grabbed a switch and used three consecutive German Suplexes of his own on Page! Yuta trapped Page’s leg in the ropes and pummeled Page with elbows. Yuta sent Page crashing on the floor with an overhead suplex on the arena floor!
Yuta jumped off the top rope with a diving cross body onto Page on the outside. Yuta tried one more time in the ring but Page raised his knees to counter. Page fired back with a massive lariat! Yuta countered the Buckshot Lariat and connected with a top rope splash for a two count!
“That was a photo finish right there,” said Jim Ross.
Hangman cracked Yuta with a rolling elbow. Yuta bit on Page’s forehead. Page had enough and smashed Wheeler with the Buckshot Lariat! Adam Page planted Wheeler with the Death Rider and then pinned Yuta!
“Message sent to Moxley and you can bet message received,” said Jim Ross.
“Mad King” Eddie Kingston was backstage with a message for the House of Black!
Kingston: “House of Black, you’re right. The real Eddie Kingston has to come out now and Ortiz you had to be the first shot. House of Black, I feel you, I accept you, and I’m ready to go home.”

Footage was shown filmed after Dynamite when Renee Paquette tried to interview Ruby Soho following Ruby’s match.
Dr. Britt Baker interrupted the interview.
Soho: “I should have known your thirsty ass couldn’t avoid the spotlight. I never wanted or needed your help.”
Baker: “Look, Ruby, I don’t like you either, but maybe it’s time I finally admit you have some importance to this women’s division. Why don’t you grow a backbone and pick a side. If you’re smart you’ll know which side to pick.”
Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Tony Mudd!
Hobbs clobbered Mudd with a running lariat. Hobbs followed up with an elbow strike and then squashed his opponent in the corner. Hobbs hoisted his opponent into the torture rack and then slammed in hard onto the mat, pinning him for the quick victory!

“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes was being interviewed by Renee Paquette backstage when Swerve Strickland and the Mogul Affiliates came onto the scene.
Strickland: “You’re coming in here trying to make this all about you, man. Yo, am I going to have to take out another old man like I almost did with Billy Gunn and add the Natural to that list, too?”
Rhodes: “You need to step back.”
Strickland: “The nerve of you Rhodes family guys. Your brother ain’t s—t, and let’s not talk about your dad.”
Rhodes: “Hey! Keep my dad’s name out of your mouth.”
