Drew Gulak vs. King Baron Corbin was the lineup where Matt Riddle was out to have a close look into the match. Gulak wanted to get the upper-hand using this distraction but he ran into an End of Days from Corbin to suffer the loss.
After the match, Riddle tried to attack Corbin but Shorty G came out and dropped Riddle with a German Suplex. G decides to take the side of Corbin in return for money.
