Match

Moxley hits Vance with a running high knee at the bell. When Aubrey Edwards had to insert herself, Moxley got distracted and Preston Vance took over. 10 knocked Moxley out of the ring, sent him into the barricade, and slammed him on the ring apron. Back in the ring, 10 hit a ripcord cutter and stayed on Moxley.

Moxley made a short comeback, but Vance used a spine buster to swing things back. Preston Vance put Moxley in a fireman’s carry, but Mox slipped out and hit the paradigm shift. Jon didn’t go for the cover. Instead he hit a Gotch-style piledriver and then another paradigm shift for the pinfall victory
