Enzo Amore comes out with mic in hand and he is with Noam Dar. Enzo talks about The Zo Train and how he provides opportunities for others to have a crack at his title. Enzo says that he wants Dar to redeem himself for not winning in the Fatal 4 Way Match on last night’s Raw. Enzo says that he wants Dar to take out Rich Swann, so that he doesn’t get near his title. The Crowd didn’t react at all during this promo.
Noam Dar vs. Rich Swann: Dar immediately rolls to the outside to get some encouragement from Enzo. Enzo says that he wants Dar to make sure Swann is aware he’s a two-time Cruiserweight Champion. Swann gets the best of Dar in the first exchange and Dar heads to the outside again. Dar attempts to get back in the ring and gets booted to the floor. Swann hits a senton to Dar off the apron to the floor. Back in the ring, Swann kicks out Dar’s knee, then hits a running splash.

We head to the locker room where Swann, Alexander and Ali talk about Itami’s arrival. Cedric then says that he thinks that he will be the one facing Rich for the title shot, which Mustafa doesn’t appreciate. Alexander and Ali agree to worry about that Monday and take care of The Zo Train tonight.
Before the main event, the team of Drew Gulak and Tony Nese are out for some mic time. Amore tells them that he thinks Nese and Gulak should be called Team Powerpoint, because Tony is the power while Drew makes good points. Justice League references are next, as Nese is Aqua-man, Gulak is Batman and they vow to win tonight for their Superman, Enzo. Drew teases some slides, but is denied by their opponents’ entrances.
Drew Gulak & Tony Nese vs. Cedric Alexander & Mustafa Ali: Gulak and Alexander start the match. The Crowd starts a “Power Point” chant, which makes Gulak super mad and he tells the crowd to stop chanting. Alexander is in control of the opening moments of the match, but Gulak is able to drop him, and tags out. Nese immediately gets caught. Ali comes in off the top rope, but Alexander tags back in and stomps the elbow of Nese. Quick tag brings Ali back in, but Nese uses his power to slow down his opponent. Nese does his taunt, but gets booed. Ali hits an arm-drag and he looks to tag out, but Alexander wasn’t in his corner as he was yelling at Gulak.
Ali does tag out and barks at Alexander for not being in his corner. Gulak tries to take advantage, but initially is kept at bay by Alexander. As Alexander goes for his handspring kick, Nese stops that from the outside. Gulak hits a shot at Alexander and tags in Nese.
