    Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar) vs. TM61 (Shane Thorne & Nick Miller) 

    • The 8-team single-elimination tournament begins tonight with a rematch of the finals from 2016. AOP defeated TM61 last time at Takeover: Toronto while Paul Elleriing hung in a shark cage above the ring.
    • The winners of this match will take on the winners of Heavy Machinery vs the Street Profits in the semi-finals.
  • Aleister Black vs Killian Dain
