Things almost fell apart for Manik early in the match, when Rohit Raju ripped the mask off of the superstar and left him down on the ground for a moment. However, Manik quickly got up and showed his painted face, and promptly went at Raju, nearly taking him down with a Mamba Splash before Bey caught him with a cutter.
The pace of this action is insane. #HardToKill @MegaTJP @HakimZane @DashingChrisBey

Late in the match, with all three superstars brawling in the ring, Rohit was quickly rolled up by Manik after landing a flurry of blows on his opponents. Manik’s roll up wasn’t contested, and he quickly won the match and retained his title.
