The Young Bucks made their way to the ring first, followed by Team GOA. Toa and Matt kicked off the action, with Toa quickly taking Matt down with a shoulder tackle and a scoop slam. After some heelwork from Toa, Matt tagged in Nick, who charged at Toa but was met with a beating. Nick then rolled out of the ring, sweeping KAUN off his feet and sending him crashing to the outside. Back inside, the Young Bucks executed a double dropkick on Toa and kept him cornered, forcing a charge that sent Tor flying over the top rope.
Nick continued the assault with another double dropkick on KAUN and assisted a sliced bread move, followed by a knee strike. The Bucks went for synchronized dives but were caught both times. GOA brought the pair back into the ring, slamming them into one another. KAUN stomped on Matt’s ankle and tagged in Toa, and together they worked over Matt with a double team and the Purple Nurple. Despite Nick’s punches and back slaps, Matt was forced out of the ring. Nick then traded blows with GOA, dodging KAUN’s punch and landing one on Toa. However, the Bucks were trapped in a double team. Nick was caught mid-air outside the ring and tossed onto the mat while hanging from the ropes. Toa crushed Matt with a cannonball on the apron, and KAUN followed up with a kick before bringing Matt back into the ring for more punishment.
Following a commercial break, KAUN sent Toa charging into the corner, but Matt dodged and was then hit from behind by KAUN. As Matt reached for Nick, KAUN sent him to the opposite corner. Matt countered by hitting Toa—who was outside the ring—with a cutter over the top rope. Matt tagged in Nick, who struck KAUN with a bulldog, then kicked Toa on the apron before nailing a front face bulldog on KAUN. Nick quickly performed a moonsault on Toa and followed up with a crossbody on KAUN, who kicked out.
Matt re-entered and placed KAUN’s feet on the apron with his back to the ring. Toa charged and slammed into KAUN’s back. The Bucks hit a double enzuiguri on Toa, followed by Nick’s double stomp on Toa’s back and a backstabber on KAUN. Nick landed a senton on Toa while Matt hit a flying elbow on KAUN, but KAUN kicked out again. Matt tried a shoulder tackle on KAUN, but Toa caught him and dropped him into the turnbuckle, knocking Nick down as well. Toa carried both Bucks on his shoulders and executed a Samoan drop. The Bucks rolled out to the outside, only for KAUN to take down Nick with a crossbody. Toa then hit a moonsault on both Bucks.
KAUN tossed the mat as Toa jumped, and KAUN kicked Nick out of mid-air. Holding Matt, Toa watched as KAUN landed a cutter. KAUN went for two pins but couldn’t secure the win. GOA tied Matt to the ropes, but Matt managed to escape, slamming KAUN outside, only for KAUN to trip him up with a leg sweep. Toa missed a cannonball, allowing Nick to tag back in. Nick defeated GOA using the Escalera move. KAUN dodged the BTE Trigger and hit the Bucks with a knee, then tried to backslide Nick. Nick countered with a BTE Trigger, but Toa broke the pin.
The Bucks unleashed a flurry of superkicks on Toa. Matt attempted a DDT, which Toa blocked, prompting Nick to kick Toa’s leg so Matt could complete the move. KAUN rolled Nick up and sent him to the apron. The Bucks finished the match by hitting an Indy driver on KAUN, securing the victory.
