SAnitY(Eric Young, Killian Dain, Alexander Wolfe, Nikki Cross) vs Tye Dillinger, Roderick Strong, Ruby Riot, and Kassius Ohno
SAnitY made their way out first. A recap was shown of WrestleMania Axxess that saw SAnitY take out No Way Jose, who was then announced uncleared to compete. Tye Dillinger made his way out followed by Ruby Riot, and then Roderick Strong. Finally, Kassius Ohno made his way as the mystery partner. As the 4 entered the ring, they started a brawl.
Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross began the action after the bell rang. She slammed Nikki’s face against the turnbuckles with her knees. Soon, Nikki tagged Alexander Wolfe in, which meant Ruby had to tag out. Kassius Ohno then came in, knocking out Wolfe instantly. He then proceeded to knock out Eric Young.
After getting some offence in on Wolfe, the SAnitY member was able to tag Eric Young in. Wolfe and Young began taking turns on Ohno. Ohno soon tagged Roderick Strong in. Strong had gotten his strikes in but was met with a suplex from Wolfe after distraction. This led to Wolfe tagging in Killian Dain, who splashed and manhandled Strong.
Eric Young took advantage to weaken Roderick and nearly got the pin until Tye Dillinger broke up the pin. Dillinger ended up being the hot pin, taking everyone out. Every strike was met with a "TEN" chant.
At one point, Roderick Strong went head to head with Killian Dain, only to be met with Nikki Cross on his back. This led to Ruby Riot doing the same. She played the equaliser, and the two women eventually went at each other. Strong was pulled from under and taken out by Eric Young, while Ruby Riot took out Nikki Cross with a drop kick outside.
Tye Dillinger attempted the Tye Breaker on Dain but was met with a superkick by Wolfe. Dain hit the Ulster Plantation on Dillinger, picking up the win for SAnitY
