William Regal and Chris Jericho joined commentary for the main event as Garcia and Moxley started off with a collar and elbow tie-up. The two hit each other with heavy-handed chops and the former AEW World Champion hit a snapmare.
The current PWG World Champion then took control of the bout with headbutts and punches. He rammed Moxley out of the ring and drove him into the steel steps. He trapped his leg between the ring post and the steps and then dropkicked the steel structure into his leg.
