Matt Riddle vs Solo Sikoa: The main event of the night was the fight between Matt Riddle and Solo Sikoa. The match was seen as retribution for Riddle as Solo Sikoa was the man that got him injured in December 2022. It was an even game in the initial proceedings. As Usos tried to interfere, the officials caught them red-handed and banished them from the ringside. However, they appeared again later on, but this time Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens also came to showcase their support for Riddle. The war erupted outside the ring between the current and former tag champs. But in the ring, it was Solo Sikoa who made the most of the distraction.

However, Zayn and Owens saved Riddle.
