Ariya Daivari vs. Neville (Non-Title Match)

Daivari gets in the ring, grabs a mic, and instantly focuses his attention on Tozawa, wondering if he's drumming up some sympathy for his injured shoulder or trying to get another title shot? He says he's the only one that deserves a title shot. He then dedicates his upcoming win to an Iranian Olympic Gold Medalist and hopes the same will be done for him in the future. Out comes Neville, match gets started and Daivari immediately heads to the outside multiple times. Neville follows him out and Daivari starts playing an inside/outside game, until he finally gets a hold of Neville and throws him into the barricade twice.

Action goes back into the ring, big splash by Daivari, Neville able to recover and lands a superkick flush on the jaw, followed up by a low dropkick to Daivari's head. Neville heads to the top rope and hits a dropkick sending Daivari all the way out of the ring. Neville follows him out and ends up focusing his attention on Tozawa. Daivari shoves Neville into Tozawa and Neville doesn't make it back in by the ten count.

- The Brian Kendrick out to the ring and says he tries to help people understand, but just gets snarky tweets on social media. He says he's trying to show what the difference is between fighters, like him, and clowns, like Jack Gallagher. To help us understand, he has some images, and it's a photo of Gallagher in a suit with his umbrella. He points out how pasty white Jack's face is and suddenly there's clown makeup on it. He then points out his hair and suddenly there's clown hair on Jack's head! Kendrick now adds a clown outfit to the photo and really seems to be enjoying himself. To cap things off a horn is added and we get some honking sounds.

Finally, Jack comes out to talk with Brian. He decides this week he's just going to "Knock your bloody head off" and rushes the ring. Kendrick runs out of the ring yelling "I don't like clowns, Jack!" Kendrick says he's a fighter as he walks away from a fight.

TJ Perkins shows up with Tony Nese and the two sides start throwing verbal jabs at each other. TJP says this is just supposed to be a friendly competition, as his music hits, he and Tony head off.
