NWA Tag Team Titles: Champs America’s Most Wanted w/Gail Kim & Jackie Gayda vs AJ Styles & Chris Daniels – James Storm’s ribs are taped up due to the damage AJ inflicted on them during the Lethal Lockdown match. The majority of the match features AMW working over Daniels. After he makes the hot tag to Styles, Styles hits the torture rack slam on Storm. Harris pulls the ref out of the ring so he can’t make the 3 count. Gail Kim tries to interfere but AJ sets her up for the Styles Clash. Storm hit Styles with the superkick which allows Gail to finish her huricarrana. Storm then cover AJ to get the win for his team. Winners: America’s Most Wanted
