Nyla Rose & Bea Priestley vs. Hikaru Shida & Kris Statlander
The match began with all four women going at it at the same time before the referee would regain control.
The first portion of the match saw the heels take control before Hikaru & Statlander would mount a little bit of a comeback. There was a moment where Rose and Statlander had a brief one-on-one confrontation reigniting their rivalry from Revolution.
In the home stretch, Nyla and Bea would try a double team but Shida countered out of a powerbomb with a hurricanrana. It wouldn’t matter because Nyla would just hit a spear and the Beast Bomb.
WINNERS: Nyla Rose and Bea Priestley
After, the allure of championship gold was too much as Bea Priestley attacked Nyla, making it very clear that she wanted to eventually become champion herself.

MJF, Butcher & Blade vs, Jurassic Express
The match started off with Maxwell Jacob Friedman bullying Marko Stunt. Max would turn his back to talk crap to the crowd and by the time he turned back around Luchasaurus was the legal man. the next few minutes would be the heels trying to overcome the size of the prehistoric one with the numbers game. Ultimately, Lucha would drag both Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Blade in order to make the hot tag to Jungle Boy.
Marko Stunt, the smallest dog in the fight, would show a lot of aggression and try to direct traffic as he tried to get Maxwell Jacob Friedman into position for Jungle Boy to jump on him but ultimately it would lead to their downfall as the numbers game was just too strong.

WINNERS: MJF & Butcher & Blade
Britt Baker would come out for her usual promo with Tony Schiavone. She played up the clueless heel not understanding that the fans don’t like her. Out comes Big Swole. Baker tried to tell her that the only person anybody cares about him her family is her boyfriend (Cedric Alexander). Swole wood responded that she’s married, “Bay! Bay!” showing off her ring.

Jim Ross laid out the rules for Blood & Guts. It is literally just War Games with the more traditional WCW rules. Submission or Surrender only.
Jon Moxley cut a promo on the Inner Circle. Moxley would say that he’ll be watching Blood & Guts and he is in the Inner Circle’s blindspot which means they should be very scared.
