An irate Flamita attacked Bandido and powerbombed him through the table at ringside. Flamita placed a chair over Bandido’s left arm and repeatedly slammed it with another chair. Rey Horus came out to chase Flamita away and tend to Bandido, who was writhing in pain.

Johnson went for The Process on Titus, but Titus countered with a dropkick. Titus hit two running boots to Johnson’s face in the corner and followed with a knee drop off the top rope to pin Johnson. Johnson is eliminated.

Dickinson entered the ring and went to work on Titus’ knee. Dickinson applied a knee bar, and Titus tapped out. Titus is eliminated.

Bandido made it back into the ring. Dickinson immediately went after Bandido’s injured arm and shoulder. Dickinson applied a cross armbreaker, but Isom pulled Bandido out of the ring to save him. Dickinson locked in a rear naked choke on Isom, who was standing on the apron. Bandido connected on a pump-kick to the back of Dickinson’s head and followed with 21 Plex. Dickinson is eliminated.

The match came down to Bandido and Isom. Isom applied an armbar, but Bandido got his foot on the rope. Bandido attempted 21 Plex, but his bad arm gave out and he slipped off Isom’s back. Isom hit a modified Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Bandido jumped off the middle rope but Isom caught him and hit a backbreaker for a near fall. Isom set up for The Promise, but Bandido escaped and hit a crucifix driver into a headscissors/armbar combination.
