Nick Aldis was backstage confirming with Chelsea Green that her mask was staying on. Tiffany Stratton approached, saying that she would be in her corner to make sure Lash Legend doesn’t get involved.
Michael Cole spoke about the twenty-fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and a video played, narrated by Triple H.
AAA World Cruiseweight Championship
The first match of the night was Rey Fenix defending his AAA World Cruiseweight Championship against Ricky Saints, who did not receive a televised entrance. As expected, the crowd was firmly behind Fenix, being from just outside of Mexico City. Saints gained control of the match early on with a modified Revolution DDT on the outside as the show went to commercial.

Upon return, Fenix began a comeback with a top rope rana on Saints, followed by a springboard moonsalult where he almost slipped but managed to recover just in time. After that, he hit the Goodbye Amigo kick and another Moonsault, this time to the floor. Saints hit a powerbomb and a Revolution DDT but only scored a two-count. Fenix hit a Springboard Stunner followed by the Mexican Muscle Buster for the win. After the match, Fenix attempted to shake Saints’ hand, but Saints grimaced and walked off.

Backstage, Sami Zayn said tonight was about justice, not about him. He said that it could never have been anyone like Gargano or Owens; it had to be him who dethroned CM Punk. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae appeared, and Johnny confirmed with Sami that if he beats Punk, he has the next title shot. Zayn seemed put off, but eventually agreed.

Paige vs. Nikki Bella
Next, Paige took on Nikki Bella. Paige charged the ring and took it to Nikki as the bell rang, decimating her around ringside and spitting on her. Finally, Nikki pulled the referee in between her and Paige and used the distraction to pin Paige with her feet on the ropes.

Tricky Two Times and the Trick Stick
Trick Williams was out next to celebrate his second United States Championship win over Baron Corbin. Williams introduced Lil’ Yachty, but Corbin appeared, dragging Yachty out to the stage. Corbin retreated, and for some reason, Williams asked what happened even though it was pretty obvious. Corbin returned, hitting Williams with the Trick Stick.

Finn Balor and Nick Aldis were in the back, and Balor suggested that he was next in line for a WWE title shot. Aldis suggested Balor focus on Money in the Bank. Danhausen interrupted briefly but then disappeared. Gunther then interrupted and said Balor peaked ten years ago. Balor called Gunther a “whiny little bitch” and clocked him in the face. Danhausen returned, touched Gunther’s back, and ran off.
