Show opens with commentary saying that the World Title match will be given the entire hour of time devoted to it.
Kyle O’Reilly comes out for the match, but then Bullet Club run out and attack O’Reilly. Young Bucks trap O’Reilly’s arm in a chair and then Adam Cole hits the chair repeatedly with another chair, trying to Pillmanize O’Reilly’s arm. Bobby Fish runs out for the save as Bullet Club flees and attendants check on the injured O’Reilly.
We see a medical attendant putting tape on O’Reilly’s injured shoulder as Fish and the medical attendant are pleading with him to not wrestle tonight as he will have the title match at another time, but O’Reilly is refusing and is hell-bent on wrestling tonight.

Before the main event, Jay Lethal gets on the mic and pleads with O’Reilly to not do the match, that he already showed enough by coming out here with his injury and he will get a title match when he is fully healed.
