The main event saw Finn Balor challenge the breakout star Bron Breakker for his Intercontinental Championship. The ¡®Badass¡¯ started out strong and used his pace to ground and pound his foe. Finn, meanwhile, used his experience to counter the young Steiner. Dominic and Carlito eventually got involved, which ironically proved to be bad news for Finn. Dom accidentally caused his The Judgement Day mate to lose balance on the top rope, which led to his defeat.

Bron Breaker was then confronted by Penta, who had beaten Ludwig Kaiser earlier in the night.
