The Righteous, Undisputed Kingdom, The Acclaimed, MxM Collection, Top Flight, The Outrunners, and the Grizzled Young Veterans all made their presence felt in the chaotic encounter.
Highlights of the match included a spectacular cutter from the top rope by Fletcher on Dutch, an intense face-off between Ospreay and Dante Martin, and FTR’s Shatter Machine on Anthony Bowens, which nearly secured them the victory. The Outrunners made a memorable entrance, taking out The Righteous with synchronised springboard attacks to the outside.
