According to Wrestling Inc., Solo Sikoa was originally scheduled to compete in the qualifying match, but was abducted backstage by 946. That unexpected disruption cleared the path for Penta to step in as a replacement and capitalize on the opening.
Road to Victory in the Main Event
The match opened with Penta and Dragon Lee immediately working together to eject Dominik Mysterio from the ring before trading fast-paced offense, as detailed by Wrestling Inc. Penta soon grounded both opponents with a tope con hilo to the outside floor, though Lee quickly answered with a matching dive of his own. The action accelerated as Lee attempted a Styles Clash on Mysterio, which Penta thwarted with a timely superkick. According to Wrestling Inc., the closing sequence saw a flurry of signature maneuvers. Lee hit a double stomp on Mysterio and walked right into Penta, who hurled him into the corner. Mysterio gained control for a stretch, but Penta countered a frog splash by getting his knees up. Lee then connected with a Styles Clash on Mysterio, nearly securing the pinfall before Penta broke it up at the final moment. Penta followed up by executing a Mexican Destroyer on Lee on the apron, survived a 619 and frog splash combination from Mysterio, and ultimately tossed Mysterio into an exposed top turnbuckle pad before sealing the win with a springboard Mexican Destroyer.
