AJ Styles, who was accompanied by Jordan Omogbehin, faced Jeff Hardy. Before the match, Styles declared that he should be the team’s captain because he’s the “Face That Runs The Place.” Early on in the match, Hardy leapt into the powerful arms of Styles’ massive associate. Styles planted Hardy with a Brainbuster and grounded him. Hardy rallied and hit Styles with a flurry of offense. Later on, Styles’ associate distracted Hardy, and the “Phenomenal One” capitalized. He gained the upper hand and shoved Hardy head-first into the ring post. A Phenomenal Forearm earned Styles the win. After the match, Elias attacked Hardy and smashed his guitar over his rival’s back.
Later in the show, Keith Lee faced Elias in the second qualifying match. Lee easily overpowered Elias early on and crushed him with a crossbody. Elias gained some momentum, but Lee sent him flying with a Pounce. Later on, Elias took control and grounded Lee. But “The Limitless One” slammed Elias and tossed him across the ring. Elias seemed like he was on the edge of victory. But he was distracted by Jeff Hardy’s music. Lee capitalized and hit the Spirit Bomb to win the match. After the match, Hardy smashed Elias’ guitar over his back.
