In a back-and-forth match between the two superstars, Swann was able to come away with the win after surviving a big dropkick from Anderson and kicking out of a near fall. As Anderson waited for Swann to get back up, however, Swann was able to shock Anderson by quickly rolling him up in a schoolboy pin for the victory.
THEY'RE NOT WAITING UNTIL #HardToKill!

After the match, a shot of Kenny Omega’s bus was shown as being empty. Things then cut to The Motor City Machine Guns, who were talking in their dressing room before being attacked by both Omega and Doc Gallows. As the tag team tried to fend them off, Rich Swann and Karl Anderson arrived, joining the brawl and causing a chaotic ending to the show ahead of their big match at IMPACT’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view.
