Strong won the match after hitting Kushida with his back breaker finisher. Malcom Bivens and other members of Diamond Mine interfered in the match on multiple occasions including putting Strong’s foot on the ropes to cause a break and allowing the match to continue.
Strong celebrated with Diamond Mine after the match, but the party was short-lived as Grayson Waller interrupted. Waller challenged Strong to a title match next week and Strong accepted.
