Match

Kazarian cinched in a side headlock that Moxley escaped into a hammerlock. Eventually Moxley trapped Kazarian in the corner and brought him back to the center of the ring where he connected with a back breaker. Frankie hit a couple of moves, but Moxley flipped him over the top rope where Kazarian hit his knee on the ramp. Dynamite went to commercial.

Back from the commercial break, Moxley knocked Kazarian out of the ring. With Kazarian on the floor, Moxley came off the second rope but Kazarian super kicked Moxley in mid-air. Back in the ring, Kazarian hit a backstabber and got a near fall. When Mox went for the paradigm shift, Kazarian countered and put Moxley in a submission.

Moxley surprised Kazarian with a paradigm shift for the pinfall victory.
