Wentz continued to work over Sabin with a stretch and an arm lock for a submission attempt, but Sabin got to the bottom rope to break the hold.
Sabin caught him with a dropkick to buy some time and went from a straight jacket into a German suplex and followed it with a DDT for a near pinfall.
Wentz fought out of a Cradle Shock and fired off a series of kicks before hitting a full nelson slam for a near pinfall. Sabin responded with a kick off the ropes after blocking a handstand kick to lay them both out.
Wentz fought out of another Cradle Shock but Sabin locked in an STF but try distracted the ref with a can of spray paint. Shelley and Sabin took out Trey and Sabin hit a missile dropkick to Wentz’s back and this time he hit the Cradle Shock for the win.
Trey shot into the ring to get some shots in on Sabin before he and Wentz retreated up the ramp.
Backstage, Chris Bey and Ace Austin congratulated the Rascalz for winning the tag titles while Ace said he understands and respects them doing whatever it took to win, and it’s going to be sweeter when they beat them.

Bey added how they’re the best tag team in the world and the titles are there, and when he said the Good Hands were paid to jump them, the Good Hands told them to keep their names out of their months.
ABC challenged them to a match but it wasn’t the right time according to the Good Hands.
Subculture went up to Santino Marella about their contractual rematch, and Sami Callihan and Rich Swann came up to him and wanted a match after being screwed out of the titles.
Marella made a match between them to work out their frustration.
When he turned around, JOYA was there and working to get their own title shot. He promised they’ll get there one day and they accepted that.
Dreamer set the record straight
Kenny King and Sheldon Jean were in the ring and he talked about who he’d beaten to become the DMC and he beat down Johnny Swinger so he won’t challenge him ever again.
He switched gears to kicking Tommy Dreamer’s two chins, and Dreamer came out in response.
Dreamer told them the real story that before the match Swinger got a phone call that his father-in-law passed away, and when Dreamer came out to check on him King kicked him.
He said afterwards he got a call from Swinger and Swinger apologized for having to leave and wanted to check on how Dreamer was doing and it’s all good.

After they were done, he came back into the building to find King and Jean at the bar and they weren’t watching the main event like the others and ripped into them for always coming to him for advice.
King said he didn’t know about Swinger and if he did they would’ve been outside taking shots. He said he’s doing what Dreamer did because he used to look up to him.
He called Dreamer out for not giving up his spot, and Dreamer called him out for taking short cuts and settled. He then asked King about how many events he’d been in while Dreamer was in 12 by the time he was Jean’s age.
He gave up millions from WWE and WCW because he believed in ECW and listened to all of the veterans.
Dreamer challenged him to step up and knock them out if he wants their spot.
He talked about how 2023 was the worst year of his life, and he offered his career against King for the Digital Media Championship.
