Back from the break, it’s time for our next contest as R-Truth and Adam Cole make their way to the ring.

Match #2 – Adam Cole vs. R-Truth

The two men square off as the match gets under way, but Truth keeps looking around for Adam Rose’s Rosebuds for some reason and Cole uses the opportunity as the bell rings to roll Truth up from behind, but Truth kicks out for a near fall. Cole then kicks Truth in the knee and sets up for an Impaler DDT, but Truth counters into an Atomic Drop. Truth then takes Cole by the back of the head and yells for the Rosebuds to move out of the way as he pitches Cole out over the top rope and sends him careening out to the floor. Truth then scratches his head and wonders to himself why the Rosebuds didn’t catch Cole. Truth then shrugs and heads up to the top turnbuckle as Cole staggers back up to his feet out on the floor and Truth takes flight, hitting Cole with a Flying Crossbody. Truth then drags Cole back up by the hair and puts him back in the ring. Truth climbs up onto the ring apron and starts to climb back into the ring, but then stops to argue with somebody nobody else can see out on the floor. Truth tells whoever to get back over the barricade to they seat before they get theyselves arrested. Truth turns back to Cole and fully enters the ring and walks right into a Superkick. Cole heads up to the middle turnbuckle as Truth hunches over and stumbles toward the corner and Cole dives off and hits Truth with the Panama Sunrise. Cole then makes the cover, but Truth kicks out for a very close near fall. Cole then pounds the mat in frustration and then goes to the corner and crouches as he takes down his kneepad and calls for the Last Shot. Truth starts to pull himself back up to his knees and Cole starts to rush forward out of the corner, but something catches his boot and stops him. Cole whips around and looks around outside the ring, but there’s nothing there. Cole is now the one confused as he turns back toward Truth and runs forward right into the Lie Detector. Truth then covers Cole and hooks the leg and scores the three count.
 
Truth slowly rolls out of the ring and winks at somebody near the corner where Cole was tripped up, but there is still nobody there and Truth makes his way to the back. In the back, our cameras join Sasha Banks and Bayley in the women’s locker room and while Sasha is fully geared up and ready to go, Bayley appears to be wearing only a towel. Sasha wants to know why Bayley isn’t dressed, they have a match coming up soon with Charlotte Flair and the Women’s World Champion. Bayley says she is so tense right now after everything that’s happened and she just needs to loosen up before they go out there and she’s going to get a massage first. Bayley says she already spoke with Big Sugar and he agreed to move their match further back in the show. Bayley smiles and says she thinks the boss has a soft spot for her. Bayley tells Sasha to just wait here, she’ll be right back and heads out the door and across the hall to visit the masseuse, leaving Banks looking angry. Things aren’t looking to bode well for the “Golden Role Models” tonight. We’ll see if Bayley’s strategy to relax pays off later tonight, but we need to take a quick commercial break.

Back from the break, it’s Gauntlet time as King Cuerno makes his way to the ring to start things off. Rey Mysterio’s music then hits, but Rey does not appear. Our ring announcer announces that regretfully, due to injury, Rey Mysterio could not be here tonight and is eliminated from the gauntlet. Cuerno is getting pumped now as the first elimination is scored and he doesn’t even have to do anything. Akira Tozawa now heads to the ring next.
 
Match #4 – Cruiserweight #1 Contender’s Gauntlet Match – King Cuerno vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Alex Shelley vs. Jordan Devlin vs. Drew Gulak vs. Akira Tozawa vs. Darby Allin
 
Cuerno and Towaza tie up to start things off and Cuerno quickly hoists Tozawa onto his shoulders and delivers a Rolling Death Valley Driver. Cuerno then bounces off the ropes and does a Handspring into an Elbow Drop and makes the cover, but Tozawa kicks out. Cuerno puts the boots to Tozawa and starts to pull him back to his feet, but Tozawa fires back with punches to the gut and then connects with a Jawbreaker. Tozawa then bounces off the ropes and goes for a Spinning Heel Kick, but Cuerno catches him and counters into a Backbreaker. Cuerno then follows up with a Power Bomb and covers Tozawa for the three count. Wasting no time, Drew Gulak is out next as he rushes out to the ring. Gulak charges in and tackles Cuerno to the mat and pummels him with a flurry of punches. Gulak then tries to transition into an Armbar, but Cuerno counters into a pinning cradle for a near fall. Both men rush back up to their feet and Cuerno connects with a Dropkick. Cuerno then goes for a Standing Moonsault, but Gulak drives both knees into his gut and blocks it. Gulak then pins Cuerno with an Inside Cradle, but Cuerno kicks out. Gulak quickly transitions into an Ankle Lock, but Cuerno rolls through, launching Gulak face first into the corner. Cuerno then cinches Gulak around the waist from behind and goes for a German Suplex, but Gulak flips through the air and comes down on his feet behind Cuerno. Cuerno whirls around and Gulak hits him with a Discus Clothesline. Gulak then tries for the Gu-Lock, but Cuerno spins out of it and tackles him through the ropes and out to the floor. The two men continue to roll around on the floor, pummeling each other until they are both counted out and eliminated. Security comes out and forces the two of them to the back as Jordan Devlin makes his way out to the ring and shows off for the crowd as he patrols the ring. His smile quickly dissipates though as Darby Allin makes his way out to the ring next. Allin and Devlin square off and Devlin tries to tie up, but Allin sidesteps and propels Devlin off into the ropes and connects with a Dropkick. Allin then puts the boots to Devlin and pulls him back to his feet. Allin then whips Devlin into the corner and follows him in, looking for a Flying Knee Smash, but Devlin dodges out of the way and Allin crashes into the corner. Devlin then follows up with a Reverse DDT and goes for the cover, but Allin kicks out for a near fall. Devlin then puts the boots to Allin and then drags him back up and sets up for the Devil Inside Suplex, but Allin fights him off with a flurry of Elbow Smashes to the side of the head. Allin then counters into a Leaping STO, driving Devlin face first into the mat. Devlin then heads up to the top turnbuckle and connects with the Coffin Drop and covers Devlin for the three count. That leaves just one more as Alex Shelley charges down to the ring. Shelley goes right after Allin with a flurry of Forearm Shivers and presses him back against the ropes before shifting to a flurry of Knife-edge Chops. Shelley then hooks Allin by the head and tries to set up for Sliced Bread #2, but as he runs up the corner, Allin shoves him out over the top rope and Shelley crashes hard on his back on the ring apron. Allin then heads up to the top turnbuckle and dives off, connecting with the Coffin Drop onto Shelley on the ring apron. Shelley slowly rolls back into the ring and Allin heads up to the top rope and connects with yet another Coffin Drop and covers Shelley for the three count. 

Darby Allin is your winner. He moves on to face TJ Perkins, or whoever the Cruiserweight Champion may be, on Pay Per View. Allin celebrates his victory as he climbs back up to the middle turnbuckle and thrusts an arm up into the air. In the back, we catch back up with our camera in the hallway by the locker rooms as Sasha Banks exasperatedly paces in the hallway and keeps checking her watch as Bayley continues to moan in the massage room. Banks talks to herself and we hear her decide that she’s just going to have to go in and get her. She opens the door and we hear Bayley telling Braun to go lower. No, lower. No, lower. LOWER. Finally, we hear her shout for him to really dig in and “Get These Hams!” Banks comes back out of the massage room looking like she’s about to gag. About that time, the Viking Raiders push by and head into the room and we hear Ivar exclaim, “Did somebody say Ham?” Bayley shrieks and the Viking Raiders exit quickly, escorted out by Strowman. Banks gets in Strowman’s face and tells him to get lost, that the massage is done and they need to get to the ring in five minutes. Strowman grunts and stalks off and now Banks turns on the Viking Raiders and halls off and slaps Erik across the face. She then smiles at Ivar and tells him he’s lucky that he’s cute. She then scowls at Erik and says him, not so much, and then slaps him again and calls him a perv. During all this, we see the Kabuki Warriors sneaking out of the locker room with what appears to be Bayley’s ring gear. Asuka then points at the towel Bayley was wearing earlier laying on the floor of the hallway and Sane sneaks over behind Banks and tries to pick it up, but Banks is standing on it. Banks steps forward to chase the Raiders off and Sane snatches up the towel and the Kabuki Warriors run off down the hallway. They make a clean getaway as Banks continues to berate the Viking Raiders and tells them to get lost. Bayley then sticks her head out of the massage room, hiding the rest of herself behind the door and yells for Sasha. Sasha rushes back and now Bayley is in a panic, stranded naked in the massage room and wants Sasha to get her something to cover up. Sasha quickly goes back into the women’s locker room and comes back out empty handed and says not only is Bayley’s gear gone, but so are all the towels. Bayley says to go run to Big Sugar and ask him to push the match back further. Banks says she already tried that and he said no, they’re already the last match before the Main Event. Bayley yells in frustration and jumps up and down behind the door and tells Sasha to go back in and grab whatever she can, grab somebody else’s gear if she has to. Banks rushes back into the locker room, but we don’t get to see how the rest of this plays out as we owe you a quick word from our sponsors. When we come back, the women are in tag team action, assuming Bayley and Banks ever make it to the ring.

Back from the break, it’s Main Event time as Television Champion David Arquette makes his way to the ring and it’s revealed that his opponent this week is going to be JTG.
 
Match #6 – HWL Television Championship – David Arquette vs. JTG
 
Arquette and JTG respectfully keep their distance as they circle each other in the ring and then tie up and JTG quickly goes to a Side Headlock, but Arquette shoves him off into the ropes and knocks him down with a Clothesline. Arquette then calls for an Atomic Leg Drop, but he telegraphs it and JTG rolls out of the way in time, allowing Arquette to crash to the mat. JTG then bounces off the ropes and connects with a Running Snapmere and makes the cover, but Arquette kicks out for a near fall. JTG then drags Arquette back up by the hair and drives him face first into the turnbuckle. JTG then picks Arquette up and places him on the top turnbuckle backward and grabs him around the neck and he pulls Arquette over backward into a fully horizontal position and then drives him to the mat with a Neckbreaker. JTG goes for the cover, but Arquette gets his boot up on the bottom rope. JTG snatches his boot away and tries for the cover again, but Arquette kicks out. JTG adamantly covers him again, but yet again Arquette kicks out. JTG drags Arquette back up and Arquette kicks him in the shins. Arquette then deliver an Atomic Drop and sends JTG reeling with a flurry of big right hands and then connects with one last big right hand, discus style, sending JTG flying out over the top rope and out to the ring apron. JTG hangs onto the ropes to keep from crashing all the way out to the floor, but he just as well have taken the plunge as now Arquette comes flying through the ropes and Spears JTG from the ring apron to the floor. Arquette is the first to stir and he slowly drags JTG back to his feet and sets up for a Powerbomb into the barricade, but JTG forces his way back down and counters into a Back Body Drop. Arquette stumbles back up to his feet over the ring steps, hunched over as JTG charges and hits the G9 and both men crash into the ring steps and JTG lands awkwardly on his right shoulder and appears to be in a world of pain. That shoulder may be dislocated. JTG is still able to get back to his feet first and he grabs Arquette and puts him back into the ring. JTG climbs back up onto the ring apron and ducks down to go through the ropes, but as he does, Arquette kicks him in the injured shoulder. Arquette then pulls JTG mostly into the ring, leaving his feet hanging on the middle rope as he drives his head and injured shoulder into the mat with a DDT. Arquette then heads up top and hits the Eight-legged Freak Splash and makes the cover and picks up the three count.
