Both Atlas and Swerve attempt roll-ups but it’s Swerve that gets the win and celebrates hard. After gloating, Swerve holds his hand out for a shake, but Jake refuses due to Swerve cheating.

Rhea Ripley vs Dakota Kai

This match is intense with Dakota Kai targeting the arm of Rhea Ripley, trying to take away the strength advantage. Ripley is able to endure using only one arm to handle Dakota Kai who also proves durable. Ripley continues to dominate and manages to put Dakota Kai in a cloverleaf before discovering Raquel Gonzalez on the stage.

The distraction allows Dakota Kai to attack Ripley, nearly getting the pin after a backstabber. Despite blocking one Riptide, Kai falls to another and gestures to Gonzalez following her win. As Gonzalez starts walking to the ring Refs come down to wave her away. The two circle and then start attacking each other to the chagrin of the referees. The Brawl continues  before it cuts to the Gargano Christmas.

Indi’s Gift

Indi opens her gift which appears to be a PS5, but it turns out to be an empty box for dramatic effect. Instead her gift is to get the family nickname. They tell her “We Support You. We support Indi Wrestling.”

Way of the Warriors

Boa and Xia Li continue to get beaten down through the training in the mstery area. They seem to be enduring much better under the eye of the painted lady, no longer showing pain.

Bronson Reed vs Ashante “Thee” Adonis

Reed very quickly dominates Adonis, using his size to brutalize Adonis and get the pin with a Tsunami splash.

Timothy Thatcher vs Leon Ruff

Thatcher is clearly perturbed and taking out his aggression on Leon Ruff. Ruff gets a few spots to use his agility to try to get the advantage on Thatcher, but it isn’t enough. Thatcher deliberately manipulates the limbs of Ruff, who refuses to give up.

Thatcher gets a steel chair and sets it on the Ramp as an invitation to Ciampa. This break is enough for Ruff to get an opportunity for some offense. Thatcher looks to have his number, but an inside cradle is all it takes for Ruff to get the 3-count, defeating Thatcher. Thatcher starts to beat down Ruff, but Ciampa runs out and delivers a draping DDT to Ciampa. He says that he’ll see Thatcher in the Fight Pit.

Tyler Rust vs Ariya Daivari

Rust is accompanied by Malcom Bivens, who is ringside directing his client. Rust targets the left shoulder and elbow, and finishes Daivari off with a flipping neckbreaker followed by a double armbar.

Velveteen Dream vs Adam Cole

This results from Dream interrupting an Undisputed Era interview earlier in the night. Adam Cole easily able to overcome Velveteen Dream, targeting him throughout. Pete Dunne runs out and attacks Roderick Strong, delivering a Bitter End to Roddy on the apron. This allows Velveteen Dream to take advantage and attack Adam Cole using his shirt.

Cole and Dream trade control, with Dream nearly forcing Cole to hit the ref. Cole finally gets the win with a Last Shot on Velveteen Dream and signals his dominance as the show goes off the air.
