The 40-year-old WWE star hit a neck breaker before planting Xavier Woods face-first for a near fall. However, in the match's final moments, the New Day member rolled LA Knight out of nowhere for the win.
The night got worse for Knight, as he not only succumbed to a defeat at the hands of Woods but was also subject to a punch from Rey Mysterio. In a backstage segment, the former IMPACT World Champion told Mysterio that he was willing to face Dominik and call himself LA Mysterio, leading to a punch from the soon-to-be Hall of Famer.
