Tavern and Kassidy start this one off. Back and forth. Tag to Queen. Quen takes flight and crashes into the Undisputed Kingdom as they spill onto the floor. Bennett comes back with a shot to Quen after rebounding. Kassidy is taken out by Taven as Lethal is finally tagged. Lethal with a hip toss and dropkick on Taven. Lethal goes for the figure-four leg lock as Private Party break it up. Lethal is interrupted multiple times, and eventually, he’s jumped by Bennett.

Lethal has been isolated but finally gets the hot tag to Jarrett and he takes on all guys. Jarrett has Taven fly into the corner as Jarrett lands right hands. Taven gets a rollup as Jarrett kicks out. Superkick on Jarrett as Quen hits a 450 splash on Taven for a near fall. Everyone hits their signature on one another.
