[Hour One] No intro video this week. The show immediately cut to Kushida and Leon Ruff already in the ring with Kushida getting his entrance theme playing. Vic Joseph, Wade Barrett, and Beth Phoenix were the commentary team…
1. “The Way” Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory (w/Candice LeRae, Indi Hartwell) vs. Kushida and Leon Ruff. Gargano and Theory did their no-look slow high five before the bell. Gargano teased starting the match before he quickly tagged in Theory to face off against Kushida. Kushida spanked Theory on the floor while toying with him in the chain wrestling sequence. Kushida dragged Theory to the ground and tagged in Leon Ruff for some follow up. Ruff did some parkour evasions on the corner to keep Theory under control. Theory took over the match after blindsiding a confident Ruff.

Finn Balor was already in the ring to start of the show. Balor reiterated the promo he did on Sunday where he talked about team sports being over and how the champion is back. Balor said he knows people in the back like him and hate him. Balor challenged anyone in the back to come out and challenge him, but before he could even complete a sentence Pete Dunne made his entrance. Dunne had a mic and talked about having a similar career path to Finn Balor in terms of being from the UK and making a name for himself in the US.
