However, Carmelo made a return with his street smart skills. For a brief period, Hayes dominated Williams which led to concerns among fans. He got a steel chair to beat Williams, which backfired. The former NXT North American Champion got the control of the chair and initiated it on the former NXT World Champion. Just when the momentum seemed to be building, it ended a bit too early.

Williams brought his finisher move out of nowhere and pinned Hayes. It was a well deserved win for Williams. But given the hype for the match, it turned to be an average affair. Many matches that preceded to the main event turned out to be bangers. Regardless, it was a good performance from both Superstars given what was offered. It's interesting to see how the future of the duo heads from here.
