In a match featuring Swerve Scott, Leon Ruff, Pete Dunne, Austin Theory, LA Knight, Jake Atlas, Cameron Grimes, Dexter Lumis, Kushida, Bronson Reed, and Tyler Rust, it was a hellacious fight for all of the superstars. However, at the end, only six superstars – Leon Ruff, Swerve Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Dexter Lumis, and LA Knight – remained and will qualify for the Gauntlet Match.
It's GOOD to be LAST. #BattleRoyal #WWENXT
