Owens said that if he was going to be blamed for injuring Itami, he might as well actually do the deed and threatens to hurt his good arm. Owens heads to the ring, but if cut off by Finn Balor. They brawled to the top of the ramp and Balor had things well in hand.
Rhyno came out of nowhere and attacked Balor form behind. The Man Beast kicked the #1 Contender in the ribs and threw him off of the stage. Referees and officials came out to check on Balor as Rhyno admired his handiwork.

Enzo and Cass do their “SAWFT” shtick to the delight of the crowd at Full Sail. The story here was the continuation of Jason Jordan’s quest to find a permanent tag team partner. Jordon threw Amore around with several aggressive waist lock takedowns.
Things looked well in hand for the new team until a miscommunication led to Amore rolling up Jordan for the 1-2-3. Jordan blamed Lefort for the loss which means it’s back to the drawing board in the tag team partner search.
