The main event started with Daniel Cormier entering wearing a WWE match referee t-shirt followed by Matt Riddle. The first surprise of the main event was Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins cosplaying WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam. He wore a dragon-printed attire, tied his hair similarly to RVD, and did the WWE legend’s hand signs.

The Fight Pit match was an advantage to The King of Bros, as he could use his MMA style more. However, Rollins also gave tough competition. The Visionary did a 5* Frog Splash doing the RVD hand signs. Moreover, Cormier once pushed Riddle away from Rollins as he wasn’t listening to the instructions.

Subsequently, later while DC was checking on Riddle, Rollins pushed the UFC legend to attack The Architect. However, Cormier made Rollins understand he is the referee and can show some MMA moves, too.

At one point, Rollins and Riddle were fighting on the platform. After an RKO by Riddle, Rollins stumbled down. The King of Bros saw an opportunity and jumped on the ribs of Rollins from the planform. However, Riddle wanted to win this match and, with a little fighting spirit, stood up and locked The Visionary into a Triangle Choke to win the match.
