The match opens with LA Knight taking immediate control, striking Tama Tonga with right hands, an elbow to the face, and a suplex. Tonga quickly turns the momentum by tripping Knight face-first into the turnbuckle and executing a backdrop, though Knight kicks out of the subsequent pin attempt. Rebounding, Knight levels Tonga with a big boot, corners him with stomps and a running knee, and sends him tumbling outside. Knight follows up with a modified baseball slide and slams Tonga’s face onto the announce table before returning him to the ring. However, as Knight climbs onto the ring apron, a distraction from Solo Sikoa allows Tonga to push Knight off, causing him to crash face-first onto the announce table.
Following a commercial break, Knight attempts to regain control with a shoulder tackle and a sunset flip pin, but Tonga kicks out. Tonga retaliates with a heavy clothesline and a suplex, attempting another pinfall that Knight escapes. Tonga then leaps from the second rope for an elbow drop, but Knight side-steps the attack, sending Tonga crashing into the canvas.
With both competitors back on their feet, Knight unloads a series of right hands, a clothesline, a neckbreaker, and a powerslam. He tops off the combination by running the ropes to land a jumping elbow drop. Knight sets up for his finisher, the BFT, but Tonga shoves him toward the ropes and distracts the referee. Solo attempts to intervene again by hopping on the ring apron, but Knight knocks him back to the floor. Tonga attempts to capitalize on the chaos, but Knight counters and plants him with the BFT, securing the pinfall victory.
Winner: LA Knight
