Allin and Hardy pulled out major spots in their match including a massive ladder spot with Allin connecting with a senton bomb off the ladder and into Hardy, who placed on steel chairs. Later, Hardy missed a Swanton Bomb on Allin and crashed into the steel steps because of it. In the end, Hardy countered the Coffin Drop from Allin with a pin to get the win.

Cole and Hardy will now collide in the semifinals of the men’s Owen Hart Tournament. In the women’s tournament, Toni Storm will face the winner of Britt Baker vs. a Joker opponent in the semifinals. There is a Joker participant in the men’s tournament as well. That individual is scheduled to face Samoa Joe in the quarterfinal round. Neither Joker participant have been revealed at this time.
