The two exchanged sharp words until AVA made an announcement: with Je’Von Evans sidelined, a new number one contender must be found. Tonight, Ricky Saints vs. Josh Briggs will decide who faces Oba Femi at No Mercy.
First Match: Blake Monroe vs. Kelani Jordan
Fast-paced back-and-forth early. Monroe rocked Jordan with a Skull Crushing Finale and applied a Bridging Fujiwara Arm-Bar, but Jordan battled back with strikes and a SitOut DDT. Outside the ring, Jordynne Grace appeared, chasing Monroe around the Performance Center. This distraction allowed Jordan to hit the Olympic Slam and a Split-Legged Moonsault for the win.

Chaos from the start with both men swinging blind. King grew frustrated, accidentally hitting the post and stumbling over the steps. Borne landed multiple shots, but after a referee mishap, King removed his blindfold and delivered a low blow. King hit The Coronation to steal the victory.

Sixth Match: Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Jazmyn Nyx vs. Lola Vice, Sol Ruca & ZARIA
Fallon Henley and Sol Ruca opened with chain wrestling before Ruca gained the edge with a Sunset Flip and Spinning Facebuster. The pace quickened as tags were made — Zaria showcased her power with a Flying Lariat and Belly-to-Back Suplex on Nyx, while Vice dazzled with her speed against Jacy Jayne.
The heels isolated Ruca through the break, working her over with double-team offense. Ruca fought back with resilience, eventually tagging in Zaria, who ran wild with clotheslines and suplexes. The match broke down into chaos with all six women trading big moves inside and outside the ring.
In the closing stretch, Henley nearly collided with Nyx after miscommunication. Vice took advantage, shoving Henley into her partner before Ruca landed The Sol Snatcher. Vice immediately followed with a devastating Spinning Back Fist to score the victory for her team.
