Goldenboy interviews Kip Sabian backstage. He asks why Sabian has had a change of character as of late, and Sabian says sometimes you need alliances and he sought out Hybrid2. He says things haven’t quite worked out so far, but take the best bands on the planet and none of them were great the first time they played together. Penelope Ford walks up and kisses Sabian on the cheeks. She says “why be bad, when you can be superbad?”, then they leave.

Winners: So Cal Uncensored
Weird finish, felt kinda out of the blue and flat. After the match, the Lucha Bros come in and attack Scorpio and Kazarian. Pentagon wants to hit the package piledriver on a chair but the lights go out. When they come back up, Pentagon is in the ring with…another Pentagon! They mirror each others movements until the new Pentagon hits an STO. Fenix runs in and the new Pentagon hits him with Angel’s Wings and takes off the mask to reveal himself as Christopher Daniels! SCU then regroup and stand tall to end the segment.
