TNA World Championship Match
Trick Williams (c) vs. Josh Briggs
A physical, back-and-forth main event-caliber battle that saw Briggs bring the fight early. Trick weathered the storm, countering a Lariat into a leaping clothesline of his own. After a missed big boot by Briggs, Trick capitalized with the Trick Shot to retain the title.
Post-match, Trick and Briggs shared a respectful nod before Elijah jumped Trick from behind. The beatdown continued until Oba Femi made the save, leveling Elijah and setting the tone for an eventual showdown.
Winner: Trick Williams (c) via Pinfall – Still TNA World Champion
NXT Heritage Cup Championship Match
Tony D’Angelo (c) vs. Stacks (w/ Luca Crusifino)
Heritage Rules – 3 Rounds to Victory
This emotional matchup saw tensions boil over in The Family. Despite a handshake to start, Stacks came out swinging with aggressive mat work and near-falls. Crusifino tried to stay neutral, but his presence led to miscommunication. In the final round, Tony delivered a stiff Fisherman’s Buster to put Stacks down and retain the Cup.
After the bell, Tony left with the Cup in hand, looking disappointed. Stacks, visibly hurt, was helped to the back by Crusifino.
Winner: Tony D’Angelo via Decision – Still NXT Heritage Cup Champion

Izzi Dame relied on her alliance with The Culling to create openings. But it was Jordynne Grace, surviving the chaos, who planted Dame with the Juggernaut Driver to earn her shot at Jacy Jayne at WWE Evolution.
