Dalton Castle & Joe Hendry vs. Righteous (Vincent & Bateman)
Before the match, Castle says Hendry is “so prestigious,” and the Righteous refuse to shake their opponents’ hands. Castle and Bateman start the match and Castle takes him to the mat. Hendry tags in and grounds the big man. Hendry sings his theme song and drops Bateman with a shoulder block. Castle and Hendry continue to isolate Bateman. Castle suplexes Bateman but Vincent distracts Castle by waving Matt Taven’s crutch at him. Vincent and Bateman take control. Hendry tries to rally but Vincent drives him into a turnbuckle. Vincent and Bateman continue to dominate Hendry and a side effect earns Vincent a two count.
Hendry powers out of a guillotine choke and tags Castle, who clears house. He suplexes Vincent and Bateman, too. Caste catches a diving Vincent and drops him with a German suplex. Vincent sends Castle sprawling off the apron. Hendry hits a fallaway slam on both Vincent and Bateman. Hendry hits Vincent with a Codebreaker but Chuckles The Clown pulls Castle out of the ring. The distraction allows Vincent to pin Hendry after an elevated bulldog.
Winners: Righteous (Vincent & Bateman)
