3. Johnny Gargano defeated Tommaso Ciampa. This was an hour-long, anything goes match filmed cinematically in a darkened arena. Gargano and Ciampa destroyed each other all over the building, from moves off the top rope to the floor and through tables, and fighting on the top of a production truck. Candice LeRae showed up, declared that she “hates her husband,” and kicked Gargano in the balls. Ciampa then reluctantly tried to help Gargano, which allowed Candice to sneak up and kick Ciampa in the balls. Gargano revealed he was wearing a cup, and that it was all a ruse. Gargano hit a Pedigree to win the match.
– After the match, Candice helped Johnny to their car and drove off while Killer Cross and Scarlett Bordeaux were watching from another car.
