Austin dropped Reynolds with an ankle pick and a facebuster. Alex responded with a dropkick off the middle turnbuckle until Big Papa Gunn entered the fray and called out Colt Cabana.
Billy and Colt engaged in a hilarious sequence, and "Boom Boom" sent Gunn flying in the corner with the elbow shots. The Dark Order mocked the Gunn Club and dominated the family members with some high-impact moves.
Reynolds and Uno executed double scoop slams and posed with Cabana for another pop from the fans.

Uno looked stunned as he ate a dropkick from Colten. Cabana took Colten outside as Uno got caught in a roll-up. Austin Gunn held onto the ropes to steal a big win over the Dark Order.

Too Fast Too Fuego got a massive pop as Fuego Two (Cody Rhodes) led the way during their entrance.
Aaron Solo silenced the crowd as he began the match with Fuego Two. Aaron Solo mocked everyone, but Fuego Two executed a classic luchador arm drag in response.
The Fuegos took Solo off his feet with a double dropkick. Fuego One used his agility to deliver three spears in the corner to Solo, who found a way to tag in Nick Comoroto.
The Factory's powerhouse trucked Del Sol down with a massive shoulder block. Fuego Two flexed his biceps and called for the tag. Comoroto proceeded to flatten Fuego Two with ease with another shoulder block.
Fuego finally got Nick off his feet with a missile dropkick. However, Solo connected with a knee to Fuego's back, and Comoroto turned him inside-out with a monstrous clothesline.
Nick kept up the pressure with a delayed vertical suplex for a two-count. Solo came in and hit the ropes for a leaping knee drop. Aaron tried to rip Fuego Two's mask, but the luchador held on and even reversed a tornado DDT.
Fuego Two briefly teased a Cross Rhodes before executing a reverse DDT. He rolled over and made the tag to Fuego Del Sol, who started with two crossbody attacks.
Nick Comoroto escaped an incoming strike and did a Shawn Michaels-like flip in the corner. Back in the ring, Fuego One got a near fall with a stomp to Solo's head.
Nick and Aaron tried to work in tandem, but Fuego Two came in for the assist. Fuego One executed a Cross Rhodes on Solo while Two stopped Nick Comoroto from breaking the pinfall.
Comoroto pushed Two into the pinfall, and the match resumed. Nick Comoroto almost laid out the Fuegos, but they worked together to send the big man out of the ring with a thrust kick-DDT combo.
Fuego One launched himself off Fuego Two to deliver a modified Tornado DDT for the three-count over Aaron Solo.
