The show starts off with the arrival of the new Women’s Universal Champion Nia Jax! Jax talks about winning the title last week and how Charlotte was only champion for as long as she was because Jax was watching her back ....
Charlotte comes out to interrupt .... She complains about losing the title because she wasn’t ready to face Nia Jax last week and she was forced to compete .... She says it isn’t fair and she wants her rematch TONIGHT! Jax has no problem with this and she accepts Charlotte’s challenge for the MAIN EVENT!
TONIGHT: We will see Ember Moon taking on a member of the Submission Sorority .... AJ Styles will be here to face Elias Sampson .... ‘The Machine’ Brian Cage takes on Tomasso Ciampa .... and MORE ...**** ‘The Best Kept Secret’ Buddy Murphy def. Kid Kash **** .... Murphy wins his debut match with the ‘Murphy’s Law’ (pump-handle Death Valley driver) .... Murphy’s celebration is short-lived as the Miz comes stomping to the ring .... He tells Murphy to get lost because the champ is here and he wants to talk .... Murphy refuses .... Miz attacks Murphy and lays him out with the Skull Krushing Finale ....
Miz then cuts a promo on how MVP keeps stacking the deck against him but Johnny Gargano comes out to a BIG pop .... Miz tells Gargano that his 15 minutes of fame are up .... Gargano responds by laying Miz out with a Superkick! Gargano locks Miz in the Gargano-Escape and Miz taps out!!!! Johnny doesn’t let go until more refs hit the ring and eventually pull him off ....
**** Ember Moon def. Nicole Savoy w/ Sonya Deville **** .... Moon overcomes the interference of Sonya Deville and pins Savoy after the Eclipse .... **** Austin Aries & Roderick Strong def. The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) **** .... Aries & Strong have been tag team champions in other promotions, and they work well together here .... Strong hits ‘End of Heartache on Wilder and takes out Dawson while Aries locks on the ‘Last Chancery’ for the Submission ....Afterwards Aries says you have seen what they can do as a team .... Now you will get to see what they can do as individuals in the Atlas title tournament .... Aries says when they both win their respective tournaments and end up in the finals ‘may the best man win’ .... Aries and Strong shake hands ....
